Artist: 10cc
[VERSE]
[F]There's a fat man who offers a change of scene
[Dm]Says he'll guarantee my sheet will be clean when I get on the [C]outside
[F]But who can you trust when the walls have ears
[Dm]I'm for takin' a chance, like a [F]drownin' man I'm going under [Dm]
[CHORUS]
[Cm]I've got [A]reds in my bed, I'm not easily led to t[Dm]he slaughte[A]r
[Dm]And while the cold war exists, [A]I'll stay warm [F]with the commissars [Am]daughter
[VERSE]
[F]We could meet at the zoo where the tiger roams, in a prison of steel
[Dm]He reminds me so much of the way I feel [C]
[F]And we know that we're both in the danger zone
[Dm]Where the eyes of the world, ful[F]l of shutters and bugs are upon[Dm] us now
[CHORUS]
[Cm]I've got [A]reds in my bed, I get blues looking out[Dm] of my wind[A]ow
[Dm]And we're never alone, there's [A]a tap on the ph[F]one and my pillow [Am]
[BRIDGE]
[D]Let me go home (There's a girl in a distant land)
[F#]Let me go home ([Bm]Who's nothing more than a memory)
[D]She don't know that [G]I'm gonna get free
[D]Let me go home (You're a land full of misery)
[F#]Let me go home ([Bm]You're a cruel and a faceless race)
[D]I don't like your philosophy, [G]I don't like your philosophy
[VERSE]
[F]The connections are made and the time is right
[Dm]So my body is walled in the shell of a car in the dead of nigh[C]t
[F]And I laugh through the pain and the agony
[Dm]As they cut me away to be born a[F]gain back to humanity [Dm]
[CHORUS]
[Cm]You've go[A]t reds in your bed, there's a man looki[Dm]n' over you[A]r shoulder
[Dm]But don't you give him your min[A]d, it's too lat[F]e when you find that[Am] it's over you
[OUTRO]
[D]Let me go home...
