[Intro]

C  F  C  F  C  F C G

 

[Verse]

C            F         C          F

Violence for violence, time after time

C             F      C     G                 C

Putting those things right out of your mind

              F           C         F

Thinking this could never happen to you

C             F     C      G                Am

Just to those folks on the evening news

 

[Chorus]

                          F

It's no big deal they say

                     C

It's just a kind of

                G

Madness you get used to

Am                           F

It's a truth you always have known

                        C

It's tough as sinew and bone

             G

And you don't get used to it

 

[Verse]

C            F            C           F

Violence for violence, it just comes around

   C            F     C      G

It cries in the night with a desperate sound

    C            F        C                F

But where do you run when fear stalks your dreams?

C          F  C        G                           Am

How do you measure the weight of those things?

 

[Chorus]

                          F

It's no big deal they say

                     C

It's just a kind of

                G

Madness you get used to

Am                           F

It's a truth you always have known

                        C

It's tough as sinew and bone

             G

And you don't get used to it

 

[Instrumental]

C  F  C  F  C  F C G

 

[Verse]

    C               F          C           F

The strong will get by, 'cause they always do

    C             F   C        G                C

The small and the helpless are counting on you

                F               C         F

Doesn't anybody notice, doesn't anybody care

C               F    C      G                  Am

Doesn't anybody ever give a damn out there

 

[Chorus]

                          F

It's no big deal they say

                     C

It's just a kind of

                G

Madness you get used to

Am                           F

It's a truth you always have known

                        C

It's tough as sinew and bone

             G

And you don't get used to it

[Verse]

      C         F         C                 F

Well, up on the hill they fight like little children

C       F C  G                    C

Arguing over who gets the crumbs

             F         C            F

Plotting and planning, cheating and scamming

          C         F   C   G                    Am

While the soul of a country slowly gets numb

 

[Chorus]

                          F

It's no big deal they say

                     C

It's just a kind of

                G         Am

Madness you get used to

 

[Chorus]

                          F

It's no big deal they say

                     C

It's just a kind of

                G         Am

Madness you get used to

 

[Chorus]

                          F

It's no big deal they say

                     C

It's just a kind of

                G         Am

Madness you get used to

 

[Chorus]

                          F

It's no big deal they say

                     C

It's just a kind of

      G

Mad----ness
