As recorded by the Manic Street Preachers (From the 1998 Album THIS IS MY TRUTH TELL ME YOURS) [Intro] Em7 Cm7 Em7 Cm7 Em7 Cm7 Em7 [Verse 1]
                    Cm7   Em7
The subtext of this song

                           Cm7    Em7
I've thought about it for so long

                             Cm7      Em7
But it's really not the sort of thing

                          Cm7    B7sus4
That people want to hear us sing

                    F#7   Cmaj7
The context of this song

                   Em7    Bm7
Well I could go on and on

                     F#7      Cmaj7
But it's still unfashionable

                    Em7
To believe in principles
[Chorus]

     A
Mass murderer

            D
How can you sleep at night?

         Emaj7
Sleep at night?

Sleep at night?
[Verse 2]
                    Cm7   Em7
The reason for this song

                       Cm7       Em7
Well maybe it's a pointless one

                      Cm7     Em7
But thank you Jimmy McGovern

                           Cm7     B7
For reminding me of what lives on

                    F#7   Cmaj7
The ending for this song

                               Em7    B7
Well I haven't really thought of one

                             F#7   Cmaj7
There's nothing I could ever say

                                 Em7
That could really take the pain away
[Chorus]
