VERSE 1:
Here comes woman riding down the road
She’s been crucified once or so I was told
C9 (Intro Riff)
Well alright should I really………care?
Here comes pressure building inside
Release formation before your tears dry
Well alright should I really care?
( Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/ed_roland/shame_crd.html )
BRIDGE:
I can’t sing you lullabys
You see my worlds all crazy my worlds alright
And I can’t hold every night
This world is too easy this world is too bright.

CHORUS:
Banner held high morals are low
C9 Em, C9
Take my hand and don’t let go
Blinded by shame
Banner held high morals are low
C9 Em, C9
Take my hand and don’t let go
C9 (Intro Riff Part A) (Intro Riff Part B), (Intro Riff)
Blinded by……………….shame

VERSE 2:
No more talking and no more games
I’ve got the lights all flashing to cure all pain
C9 (Intro Riff)x2
Well alright should I really………care?
No more pushing no more shove
And no more talking about that silliness love
C9 (Intro Riff)x2
Well alright should I really………care?
