verse
Fm             Fm/Eb           Bb7/D    Db Gb
They knew the monster's every trick

They knew his secrets every stitch

Fm     Fm/Eb         Bb7/D     Db   Gb
All of it had been a game 
Ebm      Gb/Db     Ab7/C    Bb   Db
Nothing but a charlatan 

break
Eb             Db    Ab              Eb
Perhaps there was a chance of coming through 
Eb      Db           Ab               Eb
It even seemed that he might think it too 
Gm                Cm       Eb/Bb     F (bass:fga)  Bb  (bass Ab
But he could see no point in diving in 
G7                 Cm         Cm/Bb  F   F/A Bb
  But he knew that he would neither sink nor swim

And so they found he'd nothing   left  to   say 
Ab     Cm/G    Fm  Fm/C  Fm/D Eb
Just another idol turned to clay 

chorus

Db  Eb   

verse
It seemed to them he must know what to do 
They knew that only he could pull them through 
They thought that he would make a plan 
He'd work it out, he'd understand 

break
Like drowning men they clutched at every straw 
They knew that he had saved them all before 
But he could see no point in diving in 
He knew that he would neither sink nor swim
