Intro
C majorC - C7C7 - C majorC
G minorGm       FF     DmDm        C majorC
Three dozen cycles, give or take a sum,
A minorAm          Bb majorBb        G minorGm       C majorC
The sum of that experience - how to keep running.
  FF     DmDm       G minorGm           C majorC
O I know justice, it's a birthright if you're born right,
   FF         DmDm           G minorGm      C majorC
and I know how handsome is that trick of the light,
C majorC        FF        Bb majorBb      G minorGm
So don't be mistaken in thinking I'll do right
C majorC        FF       Bb majorBb    C majorC       Bb majorBb     C majorC
given the chance to do wrong again and again.

G minorGm    FF      DmDm     C majorC
Summer romeos casing the park,
     A minorAm    Bb majorBb     G minorGm      C majorC
by the uniform urinals of love's rural province.
  FF           DmDm       G minorGm       C majorC
O don't you know time, with its petty vial of sands,
  FF      DmDm    G minorGm     C majorC
inscrutable face and merciless hands?
   C majorC           FF
And don't you know love?
    Bb majorBb        G minorGm
It's a whirlwind of feathers,
C majorC             FF               Bb majorBb     G minorGm
tickles you to your nethers and leaves a terrain of despair?


    G minorGm         FF       DmDm     C majorC
And I know when grief goes unchecked,
       A minorAm      Bb majorBb      G minorGm        C majorC
There's a kind of relief in the wreckage for the wrecked?


G minorGm       FF    DmDm      C majorC
Weren't you alone last time I saw you?
A minorAm           Bb majorBb           G minorGm        C majorC
How do you keep running from the world and the war?
  FF         DmDm       Bb majorBb        C majorC
O I know young fathers who once were like soldiers,
FF          DmDm
AWOL in flung places
     Bb majorBb       C majorC
or without standing orders,
C majorC        FF       Bb majorBb   G minorGm       C majorC
Alarming approaches to time     and it's killing,
   FF       Bb majorBb   C majorC      Bb majorBb   C majorC
no victimless crime again and again, Again and again

Bridge
G minorGm - FF - DmDm - A minorAm - A minorAm - Bb majorBb - G minorGm - C majorC

FF - DmDm - Bb majorBb - C majorC

FF - DmDm - Bb majorBb - C majorC

G minorGm    FF    DmDm          C majorC
Monday night, Goodies and The Doctor,
A minorAm             Bb majorBb  G minorGm    C majorC
Now that bath time's over, time for pyjamas.
FF         DmDm     Bb majorBb       C majorC
O I know self pity, it begins with nostalgia,
        FF        DmDm      Bb majorBb      C majorC
and you'll die of melancholy if the dolor don't get ya,
    C majorC      FF        Bb majorBb        G minorGm
And I know a poem on a wall next to a picture
    C majorC       FF        Bb majorBb      C majorC
of a dick and a fanny, by a smear of regret.


     G minorGm      FF       DmDm  A minorAm        A minorAm            Bb majorBb
And it sings of its own long demise,        something about imperium,
     G minorGm       C majorC
and a new sun will rise,
      FF        DmDm        Bb majorBb   C majorC    G minorGm     A minorAm     Bb majorBb   G+G
and "O please don't go with those horrible guys, they only want one thing."
  FF        DmDm        Bb majorBb    C majorC   C majorC       FF      Bb majorBb
O please don't go with those horrible guys, they only want one thing,
C majorC       Bb majorBb   C majorC   Bb majorBb   C majorC     G minorGm
Again and again.
