Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
No matter what you think you pull..you'll find
it's not enough.
No matter who you think you know..you won't get
through.
It's a given, L.A. law, someone's faster on the draw..
no matter where you hide..I'm comin' after you.
No matter how the race is won..it always ends the same.
Another room without a view awaits downtown.
You can shake me for a while..live it up, in style..
no matter what you do..I'm gonna take you down.
Chorus
Shakedown, breakdown, take-down..everybody wants into
the crowded line.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
Let down, your guard, honey..just about the time you're
thinking it's alright.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
(INTERLUDE:) (x2)
This is a town where everyone is reaching for the top.
This is a place where second best will never do.
It's O.K. to want to shine..but once you step across
that line..no matter where you hide I'm comin' after you.
Chorus
Shakedown, breakdown, take-down..everybody wants into
the crowded line.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
Shakedown, breakdown, honey..just about the time you're
thinking it's alright.
Breakdown, take-down, you're busted.
