I KNEW I WAS NEXT
| Dm C |Bb Am |C |C |
| Dm C |Bb Am |
|F |F |C |C |
So what do you think I am and how precisely could you tell
|F |F |Dm |Dm |
A decent skin is all I am
|Dm |Bb |A |A
People think badly of me
| Dm C |Bb Am |C |C |
But one day maybe they�ll praise. Oh but meanwhile
|F |F |C |C |
I knew I was next and I didn�t mind
|E |E |Am |C |
Here I offer you my life for any debts are due
|F |F |C |C |
And when you�ve been down for the very last time
|E |E |Am |C |
There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you
|F |F |C |C |
The shadows of trees, they reach me
|F |F |Dm |Dm |
They know a decent skin is all I am
|Dm |Bb |A |A
People think badly of me
| Dm C |Bb Am |C |C |
But when I�m in my grave maybe they�ll praise. Oh but meanwhile
|F |F |C |C |
I knew I was next and I didn�t mind
|E |E |Am |C |
Here I offer you my life for any debts are due
|F |F |C |C |
And when you�ve been down for the very last time
|E |E |Am |C |
There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you
|F |F |C |C |
| Dm C |Bb Am |C |C |
| Dm C |Bb Am |C |C |
oh but meanwhile
|F |F |C |C |
I knew I was next and I didn't mind
|E |E |Am |C |
oh when you've been slapped around then one more slap can't hurt you
|F |F |C |C |
and when you've been down for the very last time
|E |E |Am |C |
there is nothing anyone can do to hurt you
|F |F |C |C |
I knew I was next and I didn't mind
|E |E |Am |C |
oh when you've been slapped around then one more slap can't hurt you
|F |F |C |C |
and when you've been down for the very last time
|E |E |Am |C |
there is nothing anyone can say to hurt you
| Dm C |Bb Am |C |
