One of Genes Heaviest bass songs.


MASTER & SLAVE
Simmons, Thayer, Kulick

[Rhy. Fig 1]
[Rhy. Fig 2]

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Life, a movie in my head 
A page of lines we read 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
The words remain unsaid 
[Rhy. Fig 1]
Time, a race you never win 
Look back at where we've been 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
And throw the towel in 

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Every time I see a sign 
Tell me what's the bottom line 
Tell Me 
[Rhy. Fig 2]
I just wanna take my turn 
Now before I crash and burn 
Yeah 

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Hope, a candle burning bright 
A temporary light 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
'Till we return tonight 
[Rhy. Fig 1]
Love, the mighty drug we crave 
The master and the slave 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Will rule us to our grave 

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Everytime I see a sign 
Tell me what's the bottom line 
Tell Me 
I just want a place to rest, 
Count to four and catch my breath 
One, Two, Three, Four... 

[Guitar only]
I don't know what to feel 
Don't know what to say 
Don't know what to do 

[Rhy. Fig 5] (7x)
I don't know where to go 
Don't know who to be 
Don't know who to know 

[Rhy. Fig 6]
[Rhy. Fig 5] (15x)
[Rhy. Fig 7]

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
[Rhy. Fig 1]
Life is never what it seems 
It shakes you from your dreams 
[Rhy. Fig 4]
Wake up and start to 

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Everytime I see a sign 
Tell me what's the bottom line 
Tell Me 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I just want a place to rest 
Stop and let me catch my breath 

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Everytime I see a sign 
Tell me what's the bottom line 
Tell Me
[Rhy. Fig 3] 
Forget all that I've been told 
I just wanna lose control 

[Rhy. Fig 1]
Everytime I see a sign 
Tell me what's the bottom line 
Tell Me 
[Rhy. Fig 3]
I just wanna take my turn 
Now before I crash and burn
