Wages Of Sin - Bruce Springsteen





| E E4 E E4 | cont. sim.





When we fight and I wanna talk it out



You won't say nothing, nothing at all



You just sit there, you won't open that pretty mouth

                                                    G

I think you like keeping my back up against the wall



Wages of sin, you keep me paying 

                C                 E   G

Wages of sin for wrongs that I've done



Wages of sin, you keep me paying

             C       E

Wages of sin, one by one 





I walk in the apartment, there's clothes thrown all over the place



You're crouched in the corner with makeup running down your face



I don't wanna believe what my heart keeps saying

                                                 G

You keep me on the line so you can keep me paying



Wages of sin, we keep paying

                    C                  E   G

Wages of sin for the wrongs that we've done



Wages of sin, we keep paying

                           C         E

Wages of sin, that's how we have our fun

Aaaah





I remember when I was a little boy out where the cottonwoods grow tall

                                          C          G             E

Trying to make it home through the forest before the darkness falls



Baby all the sounds I heard, even if they weren't real

                                             C              G          C

I was running down that broken path with the devil snapping at my heels

           G    C           G        C

I tried so hard, so hard in every way

                  G                      E       C

Swore someday I'd grow up, just throw it all away

              G     C           G          C

Cried all the tears, baby, that I could cry

                 G                            E        C

Stomached all my fears till they came rushin' up inside

            G     C           G        C

Darlin' I'm losin' and it's a mean game

            G          E            C

Still I play on and on just the same



Wages of sin, yeah I keep paying

                     G                E   C

Wages of sin for some wrong that I've done



Wages of sin, well I keep paying

              G      E

Wages of sin, one by one 

C | C | G | E | C | C | G | E

Aaaah
