Tension
By Todd Snider
A
Tension
D
Tension
A E
Tension it's all that I know
A
I got tension out in traffic
D
I got tension in my office
A E A
I got tension and it's everywhere that I go
(Spoken)
A E
After the bad guy killed off all the underdeveloped characters
F#m A
The good guy put a bullet right through his head
E
The screenwriter stood up and told us that all the loose ends had been
F#m
tied, justice is irrelevant
D
Violent problems need violent solutions
A E
'Cause in America we like our bad guys dead
It's called box office, baby
A D E A
It's bigger than the damn Stones
(Spoken)
A E
Well they roped off all of my problems and pointed their fingers at addiction
F#m D A
'Cause they know if you're doin' the pointin' no one's lookin' at you
E
But you know this war on drugs it's funded by the Tobacco and Alcohol Commissions
F#m D
It's not what drugs you're strung out on they care about as much as whose
A E
You see people....people still love drugs
D A D E A
Y'all do anyway...I'm over it
Tension
Tension
Tension it's all that I know
I got tension in my classroom
I got tension in my courtroom
I got tension and it's everywhere that I go
(Spoken)
A E
When rock and roll first came around the preachers all went crazy
F#m D A
But soon that wasn't enough to bring people in the door
A E
So now they jump on any scandal that they can to try and save me
F#m D A E
'Cause they know I don't buy that crap about the Devil's music anymore
A D
Republicans
E
That's what scares people these days
A D E A
That and Democrats
(Chorus)
