The Big Shakedown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tell me how can I trust you
When the things you say are not the things you do
Tell me how can I be sure
When you've broken all your promises before
What am I supposed to do
You've gotta tell me what it means to you
What am I supposed to do
You've gotta tell me what it means to you
Tell me how, how can I know
If the words I hear means anything at all
Tell me how can I believe
When the trust in you is running out of steam
What am I supposed to do...
The big shakedown
I'm on the verge of turning around
The big shakedown
Just on the verge of turning around
Turning around...
Solo
Tell me why, why should I care
When you talk like you would never talk again
What am I supposed to do...
