A                C
I bet you want a bargain
  D                     A
I hear you want to take cover
               C
Running like a yawn
         D        A
From one mouth to another
                         C
You and I we're blacktop rough
D             A
Common as the dirt
                    C
Snivelling into the phone
          D                A
Trying to help our sisters hurt

[Chorus]
   C        A
Outside the pale
   C        A
Outside the pale

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
A                C
Time is only loved at night
         D              A
Night is only loved at death
                 C
The underdogs of human thought
D               A
Within the infrared
                      C
You and I we tell the stories
D            A
The TV won't release
                    C
They keep us in the wild
      D                    A
Under branch and thorn and tree

[Chorus]
   C        A
Outside the pale
   C        A
Outside the pale

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
     A              C
It's such a blow to reach above
D                 A
Split loyalty and name
                     C
The fence just isn't real but to this
D           A
Very modern day
                       C
All you see is sex and property
        D             A
When we run this damn machine
                C
Holding all the riches
       D                  A
But it still feels like a dream 

[Chorus]
   C        A
Outside the pale
   C        A
Outside the pale

[Instrumental]
C D A A C D A

[Chorus]
   C        A
Outside the pale
   C        A
Outside the pale
   C        A
Outside the pale
   C        A
Outside the pale
