You [A]take off from [D(add9)]work a bit [E]early,
The [A]boss doesn't [D(add9)]care if you [E]stay.
The [A]guard with the [D(add9)]key has to [E]check your I[A]D,
But he'd [D(add9)]just as soon [E]blow you a[A]way.


The [A]cops have stopped [D(add9)]ten miles of [E]traffic,
They're [A]sorry for [D(add9)]all the de[E]lay.
No [A]need for a[D(add9)]larm as they're [E]waving their [A]arms,
But they'd [D(add9)]just as soon [E]blow you a[A]way.


[A]Two pretty [D(add9)]blondes in a [E]Porsche,
Their [A]bumper says '[D(add9)]We Love L.[E]A.'
They [A]look pretty [D(add9)]fair but they're [E]crazy out [A]there,
They'd [D(add9)]just as soon [E]blow you a[A]way.


You [A]got in some [D(add9)]trouble in [E]high school,
But you [A]feel like a [D(add9)]new man to[E]day.
You [A]keep to your[D(add9)]self because [E]anyone else[A].
Would [D(add9)]just as soon [E]blow you a[A]way.

You're [A]standin' in [D(add9)]front of the telle[E]r,
She's [A]countin' out [D(add9)]all of your [E]pay.
There's [A]twenties and [D(add9)]ones and there's [E]guards with their [A]guns,
And they'd [D(add9)]just as soon [E]blow you a[A]way.


And [A]one old ex-[D(add9)]con at the [E]station,
Fixes [A]flats in the [D(add9)]back of the [E]bay.
He [A]winks and he [D(add9)]jokes and he [E]borrows a [A]smoke,
But he'd [D(add9)]just as soon [E]blow you a[A]way.


You [A]like the new [D(add9)]girl at the [E]hotel,
She [A]drops your room [D(add9)]key in the [E]tray.
[A]No words will [D(add9)]pass through the [E]bullet-proof [A]glass,
'Cause she'd [D(add9)]just as soon [E]blow you a[A]way.

You [A]climb up the [D(add9)]stairs every [E]evening,
To your [A]room right a[D(add9)]bove the ca[E]fe.
There [A]ain't much mys[D(add9)]tique but you [E]pay every we[A]ek,
Cause they'd [D(add9)]just as soon [E]blow you a[A]way.


And you [A]turn out the [D(add9)]light that you [E]read by,
You [A]pray that you're [D(add9)]one of the [E]few.
When you're [A]in with the [D(add9)]Lord there's [E]just one re[A]ward,
And they'd [D(add9)]just as soon [E]make it come [A]true.

The [A]mattress is [D(add9)]mildewed and [E]lumpy,
But you [A]fall fast a[D(add9)]sleep where you [E]lay.
[A]Under the [D(add9)]lump there's a t[E]wenty gauge [A]pump,
Cause they'd [D(add9)]just as soon [E]blow you a[A]way.
