N.C.I have always been Dmhere C And I'll always be Dmthere I can honestly tell you C That I really don't Dmcare If all the babies are broken C And the old folks are Dmblind There's a Chole in my hG/Beart But I kBbnow you don't mDmind
[Verse 2]
N.C.If I laugh at the cDmripples C And I cry for the Dmclowns And I welcome the madness C That I see coming dDmown And I have no opinions C So I feel no remDmorse I can sCee the Black KG/Bnight Riding Bbup on his hDmorse
[Verse 3]
N.C.And there's fire in his nosDmtrils C And blood in his Dmeyes And he's looking at you, kid C As he races on Dmby So watch out for his hooves C They're gonna kill you for sDmure He's got sCome kind of G/Bsickness That Bbno man can Dmcure
[Verse 4]
N.C.And his breath it will burnDm you C And put out your Dmeyes He'll tear out your tongues C So you can't even Dmcry That your body is broken C And your spirit is Dmdead And you hoCpe against hG/Bope That it's a Bbbad dream you hDmad
[Verse 5]
N.C.About a meeting with EDmlvis C At the back of the sDmtore You're both shoveling plasticware C Right out of the Dmdoor And the men who control you C Keep yelling for Dmmore, more, more, more You pCay all your G/Btaxes But you dBbon't know what Dmfor
[Verse 6]
N.C.'Cause nothing seems to get bDmetter C Things seem to get wDmorse We're all living in danger C From a politician's Dmcurse All promises have been broken C All lips have been Dmread Well the mCouth has spoG/Bken But noBbthing's been saDmid
[Verse 7]
N.C.The dream has been sDmhattered C The flags have been bDmurned You better make up your minds C From whatever you've Dmlearned About your family values C And the way they've been Dmscorned Some bCabies have been bG/Battered Way bBbefore they've been bDmorn
[Verse 8]
N.C.Some call me a Dmliar C Some call me a thDmief But the way that I look at things C I can't get no rDmelief So I went to a meeting C Spoke out of Dmfear They said, "TChank you for shG/Baring Now Bbwhy are you hDmere?"
[Verse 9]
N.C.I said: everything's Dmshaking C Including Dmmyself I keep all my feelings C High up on a shDmelf And I can't seem to reach them C But I know they were tDmhere I'm trCapped in this G/Bvacuum And I'm Bbgasping for Dmair
[Verse 10]
N.C.Some people get bDmetter C Some people just Dmfold Some people rise above it C Or so I've been Dmtold So I started to leave C I was searching for Dmmore They caught ahoCld of my sleG/Beve But I Bbslipped through the Dmdoor
[Verse 11]
N.C.I ran back to the oDmffice C With my back to the Dmwall When I came to my senses C I had no one to Dmcall So I called up the doctor C He told me to Dmlie He said, "Get Cout of this G/Bnightmare Or you Bbsurely will dieDm?
[Verse 12]
N.C.So I forced myself to Dmwake up C And opened my Dmeyes But the man in the mirror C Was there in disDmguise He was playing his part C Living in a tDmrance SeCntenced to be a G/Bwitness 'CBbause he had no defeDmnse
[Verse 13]
N.C.The anesthetic is wearing Dmthin C And you're starting to sDmweat And you finally realize C That it ain't over Dmyet 'Cause the way you've been feeling C They must have hit a nDmerve I know it's Cnot what youG/B want But iBbt's what you deDmserve
[Verse 14]
N.C.The operation is Dmover C Listen to me Dmplease I'm begging forgiveness C Down on my Dmknees Coming back to consciousness C I was out of my hDmead Well the dCream is G/Bover And I'm Bbback in my Dmbed
[Verse 15]
N.C.I've always been Dmhere C And I'll always be Dmthere I can honestly tell you C That I really do Dmcare I gotta tell you the truth C About the sadness I fiDmnd I have Copened my G/Bheart to you And I hBbope you don't mDmind C Dm
