[Intro] D [Verse 1]
                       D            A
There are people going hungry every day

            G                  D
They've got nothing on their plates

            G                D               A                 A
And you're filling your fat face with every different kind of cake

                    D            A
And if you ever go lardy, or go lame

        G                 D
I will drop you straight away

            G                  D
That's the chance you're gonna take

            A              A
For every stupid thing you say
[Verse 2]
                        D                    A
There are people going lonely, and they'll stay

        G            D
Lonely far into the year

                G               D
Because you're making blinkers fashionable

     A                  A
And fashionably you'll say

                  D
"All is equal in love and war" and

      A              G                  D
"I'm sorry, but I've got some things to do"

          G                D                 A               A
And you pretend to read a book you'll never finish till the day
[Chorus]
Bm
That the author dedicates it

G
To a century of fakers

D                                                       A
They took your mould and they burned it on the fire in history today

                  Bm
Yeah, the author dedicates it

         G
To a century of fakers

           D                                   A
He was an anarchist, he tried his best but it wasn't good enough
[Interlude] (la...) A A G D A A G D [Verse 3]
                  D
Did I say I would see you soon?

         A            G                D
Well I'm sorry, but I just came off my bike

       G
And my face is scarred

    D                    A
And chance has barred me seeing you tonight

               D                 A
I was over the other side of the city

           G                  D
And if the truth be known I'd say

              G                D                      A
That you look great from there before you shaved your golden hair today
[Chorus]
             Bm
Everybody's trying to make us

             G
Another century of fakers

                D                                  A
They took your mould and burned it on the fire of history today

             Bm
Everybody's trying to make us

                G              D  G
Another cool decade of fakers

Another century of fakers
