| Am | G | F | C | |
| I can't | sing it strong | enough |
| F | C | Am | |
| 'Cause that kind of | strength I just don't | have |
| G | |
| With a | watch, the light changed |
| F | C | |
| To " | hold" then " | hanging"... |
| Chorus: |
| F | C | Am | |
| You think it's | easy, but you're | wrong |
| F | |
| I am not | one half of the problem |
| C | Am | |
| Zürich is | stained, and it's not my | fault |
| F | |
| Just hold me | back or let me run sha la la la |
| Verse 2: |
| Am | G | F | C | |
| So what does it | mean, a mistake or | two |
| F | C | Am | |
| If it's the kind of | mistakes no one can | trace |
| G | |
| To the | fountain where we sold it |
| F | C | |
| And | held them | hanging? |
| Chorus: |
| F | C | Am | |
| You think it's | easy, but you're | wrong |
| F | |
| I am not | one half of the problem |
| C | Am | |
| Zürich is | stained, and it's not my | fault |
| F | |
| Just hold me | back or let me run sha la la la |
