Verse 1
Bm   A    G
   Alone, alone,

Bm        A        G
   with too much generosity

Bm    A      G
   A theatre mask

Bm       A        G
   of hostility attracts


Bridge
F#            G    A  Bm
   Assaults occur, unfrequently

    A                     G
And those who come, to conquer

     G
Need strength

F#            G
   The damage accumulates


Verse 2
A     Bm     A      G
Still moving him to tears

Bm   A               G
   Retained a sense of humour

  Bm    A           G
Retained a sense of humour

The last line repeats a few times then
switches to Colin singing ?Ooos.?

During the Bridge I think the bass notes of the Main Riff are
changed to reflect the chord progression during the Bridge.
