-INTRO- Riff 1 Riff 2 -VERSE- Riff 1 Parents don't be too kind to your kids Riff 1 Or else how will they grow up to be Riff 3 Louche Parisian sinners and Nashville country singers Riff 1 Singing about the terrible things their parents did Riff 2 Lovers dont be sparing with the truth Riff 1 Break their hearts if that's what you must do Riff 1 Fill them with remorse tinged with hope of course Riff 1 E riff Let their baser instincts pull them through -CHORUS-
              E7             Gsus2         E riff
And though it seems a little strange to me

                    E7        Gsus2
People never really change it seems
-VERSE-
            D      Dsus2/G
All across America

A7 riff        D             Dsus2/G  A7 riff
Waitresses and boys who play guitar

     D                Dsus2/G
They fall in love and fall out

                           A7 riff
The boys have something to sing about

        D                    Dsus2/G             A7 riff
And the girls go drown their sorrows in the bars

D                        Dsus2/G                A7 riff
While in front rooms all across the old country

D                 Dsus2/G            A7 riff
Sat spellbound in front of their TVs

D                    Dsus2/G
Younger brothers and sisters

                       A7 riff
Ponder on what they're missing

D              Dsus2/G                            A7 riff  E riff
Wonder how the air tastes when you're really free
-CHORUS-
              E7             Gsus2         E riff
And though it seems a little strange to me

             E7           Gsus2           E riff
Well you can never really change it seems

        E7              Gsus2            E riff
All you broken boys and girls take heart

     E7             Gsus2
Come together, fall apart
-POWER VERSE-
       D5~                                     A7 riff
And in Battersea power station the Fisher King

D5~                                          A7 riff
Ponders on his ruin among many other things

   D5~
He folds his broken hands

D5~
Surveys his baron lands

    D5~               D5~            D5
And prays for hope to whisper in the wind
-BRIDGE-
              Gsus2
Cause we were born without reason

      A7
We'll die without meaning

        Dm             Dm/C
And the world will not shrug all that

Gsus2
Much at our passing

        G6
You can try and try and try

    A7                             D  Dsus2/G  A7 riff 2
But no one ever makes it out alive

    D           Dsus2/G            A7 riff 2
But no one ever makes it out alive

With your tattered flags unfurled

D                  Dsus2/G        Em   A7 riff 2
Fix yourselves and fix the Fisher King
