A (main riff)

-----14-------------- then -----14--------------| (x3)

You're so wrapped up in your Jekyll-Hyde life

And the wife and the kids can see plainer than light.

Fever(?) for them and the wife of before

Just to lie and(?) get out that door.

Best Of Both Worlds

Best Of Both Worlds

A (w/main riff x2)

You act the part you swore to play

In fact you might win an Oscar someday

A t???? p???? could ruin their lives

Placed amongst pictures(?) of you and the wife

Best Of Both Worlds

Best Of Both Worlds

I know it's too late to change my strategy

I know that I'm broke but I can't seem to pull away

Any way I move they turn their backs to me

What's the use they don't even speak to me

What does it matter now?

They don't seem to care

There's nothing left to share

Way up in that towerblock fortress

The view is of car-dumps and disused gasworks

They don't come see you play around anymore

Cos they've packed your bags and left them outside the door

Best Of Both Worlds

Best Of Both Worlds

A (w/main riff x7) then -------------|

This is as close as I can get it - the lyrics that have a question

mark after them are as close I as I could get although I'm pretty

sure they're not right. If anyone can shed any light on what the

lyrics are please get in touch. Cheers.
