A Matter Of Simple Deduction chords by The Taxpayers

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

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

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


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