[Horn Break 1:]  
               Am  F  G  Am
               Am  Dm F  G
               Am  F  G  Am
               Am  Dm F  G


[Verse 1]
Am                    F                            G                       C
Run, run, run all you do is fuckin' run but you?ll never run away from yourself.
Am                             Dm                        F                           G
   I know it?s hard but you?ve been there before and you know you?re gonna be there again.
Am                    F                    G                            C
I don?t care what the stars may say, they always feed their bullshit to me.
Am                        Dm                           F                    G
   It?s kinda sad how you lost what you had and you?re never gonna have it again and so I say:

[Chorus]
C      G           Dm                   Am
Hey Sergio, you?ve got to get us out of here, and so I say:
C      G                 Dm             Am                  C
Hey Sergio, it?s kind of getting hot in here, and so I say: Hey


[Horn Break 2:] 
               C  G  Dm  Am 
               C  G  Dm  Am
               E  


[Horn Break 1:] 
               Am  F  G  Am
               Am  Dm F  G
               Am  F  G  Am
               Am  Dm F  G


[Verse 2]
Am                        F                               G                            Am  
Every other day you don?t care what they say because they always leave you two steps behind.
Am                         Dm                         F                           G
   You try to smile and it lasts for a while but they always send you back to the start.
Am                         F                                G                              C 
Eenie meenie miney mo they shoot down everyone you know and then they leave you there all alone.
Am                               Dm                    F                            G
You wish they?d stop but they never give up and you know deep inside that you?re stuck and so I say:


[Chorus]
C      G           Dm                   Am
Hey Sergio, you?ve got to get us out of here, and so I say:
C      G                 Dm             Am                  C
Hey Sergio, it?s kind of getting hot in here, and so I say: Hey

[Horn Break 2:]  
               C  G  Dm  Am 
               C  G  Dm  Am
               E

[Verse 3]
Am                     F                            G                            Am
Sergio laughed for the last time today, He said ?It doesn't really bother me: we all have dues to pay
Am                       Dm                  F                           G
   Like a man that?s cut off at the knee, he hobbles and hobbles because nothing is free.
       Am            F        G                               Am
So you wake up, wake up, wake up but don?t cry because you?ll fuck up your make up
Am                 Dm                  F                        G
and if you do, you won?t get laid, you won?t make money, no you won?t get paid.
        Am               F            G                             Am
And you act so free, you act so free, everybody?s happy because you act so free
         Am                       Dm                      F             
Well you might fool them, but you can?t fool me with your mindless chatter like
G                   G                  G                            C
?I don?t need them, I don?t need help, I don?t even need to see the end."


[Horn Break 2:]  
               C  G  Dm  Am 
               C  G  Dm  Am
               

[Chorus]
C      G           Dm                   Am
Hey Sergio, you?ve got to get us out of here, and so I say:
