Intro: Em 

Verse: 
C                     D 
You blew all your inheritance 
Bm                                      Em 
And now you're trying to pin the blame on me 
C                     D 
And I could write you off so easily 
Bm                                      Em 
Except a hundred million other people agree

You kick and scream to get your way again

But the writing is on the wall 
C                                   D 
Any minute you'll go on to your reward 
Bm                                  Em 
And someone else is gonna make the call

In these strange negotiations

Em  

Verse: 
C                                   D 
You cut your leg off to save a buck or two 
Bm                          Em 
Because you never consider the cost 
C                                   D 
You find the lowest prices everyday 
Bm                          Em 
But would you look at everything that we've lost 
C                                   D 
Yeah, it's true I learned it from watching you 
Bm                          Em 
But now it's you who doesn't know what a dollar is worth 
C                                   D 
You got the market it's own bodyguard 
Bm                          Em 
And all the people are getting hurt 


          Am      Am/G     Am/F#    
In these strange negotiations 
G         D6/F#                 Em 
Man they really are getting me down

Strange negotiations 
G         D6/F#                 Em 
Feel like a stranger in my home town

Strange negotiations
