Strange Negotiations

Tom: Em

Intro: Em vamp
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

C                                   D
You kick and scream to get your way again
Bm                          Em
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

Chorus: 
          Am      Am/G     Am/F#   
In these strange negotiations
G         D6/F#                 Em
Man they really are getting me down
Am      Am/G     Am/F#   
Strange negotiations
G         D6/F#                 Em
Feel like a stranger in my home town
Am      Am/G     Am/F#   
Strange negotiations
G         D6/F#                C
You know I'm looking for a way around
           Am     Am/G     D
All these strange negotiations

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

Chorus:
          Am      Am/G     Am/F#   
In these strange negotiations
G         D6/F#                 Em
Man they really are getting me down
          Am      Am/G     Am/F#   
Strange negotiations
G         D6/F#                 Em
Feel like a stranger in my home town
          Am      Am/G     Am/F#   
Strange negotiations
G         D6/F#                C
You know I'm looking for a way around
           Am     Am/G     D
