[Verse 1]
A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Many people ...tell you that they're your friend,
A D/A
You be - lieve them, you need them,
E/A D/A E/A D/A A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
For what's 'round the river bend,
E D4 Dsus2 D A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Make sure that you're re - ceiving the sig - nals they send,
E D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
'Cause, brother, you've only got two hands to lend!
[Verse 2]
A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Maybe, ...there's someone who makes you weep,
A D/A E/A
And some nights they loom up a - head,
D/A E/A D/A A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
When you're a - sleep,
E D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Some days, there's things on your mind you should keep,
E D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap!
[Chorus]
A E4 E D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
(Oo, oo, oo -oo!) Better watch out for the skin deep,
A E4 E D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
(Oo, oo, oo -oo!) Better watch out for the skin deep,
E E5 E D E E5 E D
(Better watch out!) Watch out for the skin deep,
E E5 E D
(Better watch out!) Watch out for the skin deep,
D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Better watch out for the skin deep!

A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
One day ...the track that you're climb - ing gets steep,
A D/A
Your e - motions are frayed,
E/A D/A E/A D/A A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
And your nerves are start - ing to creep,
E D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Just re - member the day's as long as the time that you keep,
E D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep!
[Chorus]
A E4 E D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
(Oo, oo, oo -oo!) Better watch out for the skin deep,
A E4 E D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
(Oo, oo, oo -oo!) Better watch out for the skin deep,

(Better watch out!) Watch out for the skin deep,
E E5 E D
(Better watch out!) Watch out for the skin deep,
D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Better watch out for the skin deep!
[Chorus]
E E5 E D E E5 E D
(Better watch out!) Watch out for the skin deep,
E E5 E D
(Better watch out!) Watch out for the skin deep,
D4 D Dsus2 A D/A E/A D/A E/A D/A
Better watch out for the skin deep!
