[Verse]
D   Dsus4 D   Dsus4   D   Dsus4
You hate, you scream, you swear
D   Dsus4 D         Bsus2
And still you never reach them
D   Dsus4  D   Dsus4 D  Dsus4
You curse, you try   to scare
D   Dsus4   D     Bsus2
But you can never teach them

[Chorus]
Bm              F#m
It's a dead end street
     G                  A        D
They tie your hands and tie your feet
Bm                F#m
And the street is narrow
  Em
A nowhere lane
  Em            Dsus2 D Dsus4  D Dsus4  D Dsus4
A nowhere train for   E-laine, E-laine, E-laine


[Verse]
D Dsus4  D Dsus4  D Dsus4
E-laine, E-laine, E-laine
D   Dsus4 D             Bsus2
You know  they're gonna get you
D   Dsus4 D  Dsus4 D Dsus4
You try   to break a-way
D   Dsus4     D     Bsus2
But they will never let you

[Chorus]
Bm              F#m
It's a dead end street
     G                  A        D
They tie your hands and tie your feet
Bm                F#m
And the street is narrow
  Em
A nowhere lane
  Em            D7sus2 D7 D7sus4  D7 D7sus4  D7 D7sus4
A nowhere train for    E--laine,  E--laine,  E--laine
D7sus4                       G
 You're like a goldfish in a bowl
D7 D7sus4  D7 D7sus4  D7 D7sus4
E--laine,  E--laine,  E--laine
D7sus4                                  G
 They have your mind, they'll take your soul

[Bridge]
D   Dsus4  D   Dsus4  D   Dsus4
You come,  you stay,  you go
D  Dsus4 D           Bsus2
It rea---lly doesn't matter
D      Dsus4  D  Dsus4  D Dsus4
You've done   it all    before
D  Dsus4 D                Bsus2
By now   they'll know the pattern
