A Matter Of Simple Deduction chords by The Taxpayers

Chords with lyrics

Verse:
A augmentedA
I was walking alone in an unfamiliar town
C majorC
when the buildings started to shiver and shake.
Eb MajorEb
Shimmering rain came down in sheets
     D MajorD
and then glittered like glass on the empty streets.
    A augmentedA
I could see your face in the wind
         C majorC
I could hear the orchestral storm begin to sing:
     Eb MajorEb
“It's the end, it's the goddamn end!
        D MajorD
Come on, baby, light that, light that fire!”

Chorus:
    A augmentedA
It's a matter of simple deduction.
    C majorC
It's a matter of complete control.
       Eb MajorEb
You can hold hands with the man in the tower,
       D MajorD
but you just can't guarantee a place for your soul.

(x2)

Verse:
A augmentedA
So there I was, right? Stuck in the street.
   C majorC
Not a soul for miles, on my own two feet.
Eb MajorEb
Glittering glass, piles of trash,
D MajorD
stuttering into the wind, wind, wind.
    A augmentedA
I could see your face in the air,
    C majorC
I could taste your skin on my lips.
  Eb MajorEb
But this is the end, this is the end!
        D MajorD
Come on, baby, light that, light that fire!


Chorus:
    A augmentedA
It's a matter of simple deduction.
    C majorC
It's a matter of complete control.
       Eb MajorEb
You can hold hands with the man in the tower,
       D MajorD
but you just can't guarantee a place for your soul.
