Intro:

E Esus4 (x6)


Verse I:

 E         Esus4        E             Esus4
Give me an age where I don't know a thing
        E             Esus4       E             Esus4
Where black and white offers me peace from the din
  A     B       G#m Esus4    A    B  E
Bright lights, cat fights, leave me cold

Verse II:

 E         Esus4       E           Esus4
Recent encounters are telling me why
     E          Esus4       E       Esus4
My reasons for silence are so justified
A  B    G#m  Esus4 A    B     E
I can hear you, please turn down


Interlude:

E Esus4 B A (x3)


Verse III:

E             Esus4      E          Esus4
All these pretenders pretending to be
 E           Esus4      E          Esus4
How do they recognise people they see?
 A     B  G#m Esus4 A    B  E
Lives by num-bers, pass me by


Verse IV:

 E         Esus4           E          Esus4
Centred around what they know isn't true
 E            Esus4     E          Esus4
But what is needed for distorted view
  A  B       G#m  Esus4 A      B   E
Try not to think now, you've been warned


Interlude:

E Esus4 B A (x3)


Outro:

F#m           G#m        A          B
I tried to fake it but I got found out
 F#m        G#m        A             B
Fakers who fake it are on their way out
           E Esus4 E
It's just me
          Esus4      E Esus4 E
But I'll let myself be
        Esus4        E Esus4 E
And the others go free
        Esus4        F#m
But I know who will win
Esus4       E
I'm on the outside
