Verse
C 
 Get your hair cut 
Am 
 Get your money on straight 
Em                  G 
 Get your head right 
              C 
 And don't forget where you come from 
Am                        Em          G 
 Who your friends are and all that shit 
 C 
 Ever since I could hear 
            Am 
 A voice of warning 
                      Em                 G 
 Stories of pain and fear ringing in my eardrum 
     C 
 And ever since I could run 
                  Am 
 There's been somebody with a loaded gun 
                 Em 
 Get your finger on the trigger son 
               G 
 Ringin' in my eardrum

 I admit I don't understand how this all started 
                                G# 
 But I know it's gotten out of hand 
              D# 
 We can't go back now 
                              D7b9 
 We can't just tell ourselves all of this will pass 
N.C. 
 Not while we're 
  G                        Em 
 Sailin' too close, sailin' too close to the wind 
  Bm                         D 
 Sailin' too close, sailin' too close to the wind
