Song Structure:
Mike plays an acoustic guitar with a capo at the 5th fret, and strums the chords Am C G D (relative to capo) throught the whole song.
Adrian plays the lead lines as detailed above, playing the main arpeggio until the end of the second chorus, at which point he starts playing the "solo," which continues until the end of the song.
Saul comes in at various points in the song playing the chord progression Dm F C G on a highly distorted electric guitar.

Lyrics/Chords:

Dm
                       F
Are you aching for the blade

        C
That's OK 

        G                       Dm
We're insured

                       F
Are you aching for the grave

        C
That's OK 

        G                       Dm
We're insured


                            F
We're getting away with it, all messed up

                      C
Getting away with it, all messed up 

           G                    Dm
That's the living

 
                F
Daniel's saving grace

                  C
She's out in deep water

                 G              Dm
Hope he's a good swimmer

 
                 F
Daniel plays his ace

                C
Deep inside his temple

                G               Dm
He knows how to surf her

 

Getting away with it, all messed up

Getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

 

Getting away with it, all messed up

Getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

 

Daniel drinks his weight

Drinks like Richard Burton

Dances like John Travolta

Now

 

Daniel's saving grace

He was all for drowning

Now they live like dolphins

 

We're getting away with it, all messed up

Getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

 

We're getting away with it, all messed up

We're getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

 

We're getting away with it, all messed up

We're getting away with it, all messsed up

That's the living

 

Are we getting away with it?

All messed up

Getting away with it, all messed up

That's the living

 

Getting away with it

We're getting away with it

That's the living

That's the living
