Intro:
Riff 1

Verse 1:
Riff 2
       You were so poised
Riff 2 A5*
       Like some matador raising his steel
         E5*
It's the same old useless ceremony
      D5*
And a last bow before the kill
Riff 2                             Riff 2 A5*
And every junkie in this laudromat is     equal in the eyes of the lord
    E5*
But you just put your hand to hip
             D5*
You're gonna give them a taste
                E5*(VII)
A taste of your sword

Chorus 1:
         A  G  D7
I get so re-eh-restless
         A  G  D7
I get so re-eh-restless
         A  G  D7
I get so re-eh-restless

Restless

Verse 2:
Riff 2
       In what you hoped looked so dignified

Riff 2          A5*
You played your exit for a laugh
E5*
And like they've done so many times before
          D5*
They made excuses on your behalf
Riff 2                             Riff 2   A5*
And every street Jesus and suicide is just another voice that goes unheard
      E5*
Every candle in this cathedral
     D5*
Is a prayer
             E5*(VII)
For a better world

Chorus 2:
         A  G  D7
I get so re-eh-restless
         A  G  D7
I get so re-eh-restless
         A  G  D7
I get so re-eh-restless

Verse 3:
A5
You were so poised
Riff 2 A5*
       Like some matador raising his steel
         E5*
It's the same old useless ceremony
      D5*
And a last bow before the kill
Riff 2
And in the not too distant future
Riff 2          A5*
You'll have the preacher and the soldier floating round in space
              E5*
The soldier's finger on the trigger
               D5*                  E5*(VII)
The preacher's joined in a state of grace

Chorus 3:
         A  G  D7
I get so re-eh-restless
         A  G  D7
I get so re-eh-restless
         A  G  D7
I get so re-eh-restless
