[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
 
 
[Chorus]
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
C     G/A       D/A
And a hard place

[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
C     G/A   D/A   F
And a hard place
C         G/A   D/A   F
Between a rock
C     G/A   D/A   F
And a hard place
C            G/A    D/A  F
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

C               
You'd better stop, yeah, give it all you got
             Am 
Give me the truth now, don't want no shame
             Am 
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
  Am        Fmaj7
A rock and a hard place
             Am            Fmaj7     E
You'd better stop, put on a kind face
F             E           G5
Can't you see what you've done to me?

Between a rock    and a hard place
C         G/A D/A C     G/A       D/A   F   C
Between a rock    and a hard place
              The fields of Eden
Are full of trash
And if we beg and we borrow and steal
We'll never get it back

People are hungry
They crowd around
And the city gets bigger as the country comes begging to town

We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock, yeah, and a hard place

This talk of freedom
And human rights
Means bullying and private wars and chucking all the dust into our eyes

And peasant people
Poorer than dirt
Who are caught in the crossfire
End up nothing to lose but their shirts, yeah

We're stuck between a rock
And a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place

You'd better stop
(You'd better stop)
Put on a kind face
Between a rock, yeah, and a hard place

We're in the same boat
On the same sea
And we're sailing south
On the same breeze

Building dream churches
With the silver spires
And our rogue children
Are playing loaded dice

Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop, yeah, get a load of it

Give me the truth now
Don't want no shame
I'd be hung, drawn and quartered for a sheep just as well as a lamb

Stuck between a rock
And a hard place
A rock and a hard place
You'd better stop
Put on a kind face

Can't you see what you're doing to me

Between a rock and a hard place
(That's what I said)
Between a rock and a hard place
(Yeah)
You'd better stop
(Stop, yeah, you'd better stop)
Put on a kind face
(Just a little smile)

Yeah, come on and lay better now, yeah
Come on now, yeah

Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
You'd better stop, put on a kind face
You'd better stop, put on a kind face

Between a rock and a hard place
Between a rock and a hard place
