Verse:
Bb
Said you didn't seem to notice
You didn't notice
Am
Even though it changed right before your eyes
Bb
Said you didn't have the focus
The only focus
F
Is swimming against the tide
Bb
Out of touch before you know it
Am
You never wanted it more
But you were part of a different time
Bb
Generation beat poet, you've outgrown it
F
Other things on your mind
Chorus:
Bb
You're the last of a dying breed
Am
Still with so much to achieve
Bb
Trying to breathe new life
F
Into a dying dream
Post-Chorus:
Bb
And you wake up
F
And you feel locked out
Bb F
To the world you see outside
Bb
And the whole thing
F
Doesn't make much sense
Bb F
Beyond the power lines
[Instrumental]

Your idle hands a machine
Replaced only years ago

Been aiming for it

You're the last of a dying breed

Find it so hard to believe
Bb
That no-one cares
F
Unless they get a piece

And you wake up
F
And you feel uptight
Bb F
To the world you see outside
Bb
And the whole thing
F
Doesn't make much sense
Bb F
Beyond the power lines
