[Verse 1]
F Am G/A Am G/A Am G/A Am
The fields of Eden are full of trash
G/A Am G/A Am
And if we beg and we borrow and steal
G/A Am G/A Am
We’ll never get it back
G/A Am G/A Am G6 Am G6 Am
People are hungry, they crowd around
G6 Am G/A Am G/A Am G/A
And the city gets bigger as the country comes begging to town

Am G6 G/A D/A F
We’re stuck between a rock
C G/A D/A F
And a hard place
C G/A D/A F
Between a rock

[Verse 2]
G/A Am G/A Am G/A Am G/A Am
This talk of freedom and human rights
G/A Am G/A
Means bullying and private wars
Am G6 Am G/A Am
And chucking all the dust into our eyes
G/A Am G/A Am G/A Am G/A Am
And peasant people, poorer than dirt
G6 Am G/A
Who are caught in the crossfire
Am G6 Am G6
End up nothing to lose but their shirts, yeah

[Chorus]
Am G6 G/A D/A F
We’re stuck between a rock

Between a rock

You’d better stop
C G/A D/A F
Put on a kind face
C G/A D/A F
Between a rock
C G/A D/A F C
And a hard place

[Bridge]
E G5
We’re in the same boat on the same sea
F C
And we’re sailing south on the same breeze
E F
Building dream churches with silver spires
C E
And our rogue children are playing loaded dice

Am
Give me the truth now, don’t want no shame

I’d be hung, drawn and quartered for a sheep
Am
Just as well as a lamb

Am Fmaj7
Stuck between a rock and a hard place

A rock and a hard place
Am Fmaj7 E

F E G5
Can’t you see what you’ve done to me?
