Em       C          D                  C 
Danger,    we don't always hide around here 

Em     C           D                 C 
Now in here, I see my old friend disappear

In to night

In to night,

People don't change and I know your story so well

I know your faith, it's my favorite tale to tell

I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat 

Em                   G          D        Am 
Throw the money down, you never ran this town

I'm in the corner with a wasp sting in my throat

Now what you got, what you got that's so great

Throw the money down, you never ran this town
