R.E.M. - 9-9: guitar chords

A
Steady repetition is
a compulsion mutually reinforced
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction?
Nothing much
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord to hesitate

     E
Got to punch
      B
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Got a stripe
Down his back
All nine yards
Down her back

Chorus:
 B      A
Give me a couple
 G                     A   B
Don't give me a couple of pointers
 A                G            B
Turn to lies and conversation fear

Got to punch
Right on target
Twisting tongues
Got a stripe
Down his back
All nine yards
Down her back

Chorus:
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation
What is in my mind?
What is in my mind?
What is in my mind?

Steady repetition is
a compulsion mutually reinforced
Now what does that mean?
Is there a just contradiction? Nothing much
Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord to hesitate
Hesitate

Got to punch
Right on target
Twist his tongue
He's got a stripe
Down her back
All nine yards
Down his back

Chorus:
Give me a couple
Don't give me a couple of pointers
Turn to lies and conversation fear

Conversation fear
Conversation fear
Conversation fear
