♫ Verse 1:
Db                 F           Db         G          Db
When is it good or not good to perceive a petrifying life
Db    F         Db             G              A
Or to solving a problem that's here tomorrow, gone today
Dm             G              F                   G        Dm
"I am a worthy subject," says one person catching somebody out

"And I'm tired of all that I am doing now," says somebody else

Not to reason why, ours is but to do and die, says you says I
Db        F           Db             G           A
Yes, it's starting to show, but it's already pie in the sky
Dm            G          F               G        Dm
No reason if adapted for ordinary use in everyday lives
Dm                      G           F                    G         F
There's a clause that's not written down, we assume it's just a disguise

Db           B           A                   G          Eb Bb Eb E E D
Look
I know everything, knowledge forms the best of me
Db                   A                               B
After all I've done, don't blame me, no, not all the time

I put the icing on the world

Db                     F         Db            G                 Db
Something is wrong, so how is it now? Is there something on your mind?
Db          F          Db         G                   A
Or are your problems deleting the course that was set in your mind?
Dm                     G           F                   G           Dm
Now we are calm, don't tell me you are living now what you lived before
Dm                G          F                G           F
There's a will in everyone's mind to exude an air of some kind

F Db Ab C C
E E E E E E E

♫ Verse 4:
Db                         F           Db              G                Db
Think back some years, the age of ten, that's not you, that was someone else
Db        F               Db         G              A
Different thoughts and surroundings, just memories exist today
Dm                 G           F               G          Dm
When is it good? Tomorrow? The day after? Is living but a farce?
Dm                  G         F                         G             F
There must be truth in what I say seeing as how the sun shines out my arse

♫ Chorus: 
Db             B         A                G     Eb Bb Eb E E D
Dull seems the evergreen style of all our unity
Db                    A                             B            Bb
And over the fence an old mother's sympathy makes a spectacle of life

All for the sake of love

I put the icing on the world

I know everything, knowledge forms the best of me
Db                   A                               B
