Am 
  Down where your paint is cracking 
F 
 Look down your backstairs buddy 
Am 
  Somebodies living there and 
F 
 He don't really feel the weather 
Am 
  And he don't share your pleasures 
F 
 No, he don't share your pleasures 
 Am 
Did you see his eyes? 
         F 
Did you see the crazy eyes? 
 
C                   G                       F 
 And you're so surprised he doesn't run to catch your ash 
C          G                F 
 Everybody always wants to kiss your trash 
     Am 
And you can't help him, no one can 
     F 
And now that he knows 
                    Am                             F 
There's nothing to get, will you still place your bet 
                             Am 
Against the neighbourhood threat?
