[Verse 1]
D Em G Gm All the latest toughs, you've got to shrug them off or shut them off D Em G Gm With ten-thousand-time-told truths, you've still got to ask for proof, ask for proof, A G D Em G A because if you're dying to be led they'll lead you up the hill in chains to their popular refrains Bm Em G Until your slaughter's been arranged, my little lamb, and it's much too late to talk A D the knife out of their hands
[Verse 2]
D Em G Gm Well, I woke up on a foggy morning. Hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun D Em G Gm But it came out and it shot its rays down. Burning everyone, it was burning everyone A G D Em G But they were dying, anyway, to turn to ash, to feel their feelings flash and finally fade away Gm In a fabulous and fiery display
[Instrumental]
Em G D A x2
[Verse 3]
Em G Look, though, I don't know what notes you want to hear played D A Em G I can't think what lines you'd like me to sing or say, and I'm not sure what subjects you want mentioned D A Em G So pause and add your own intentions. Let's pause and add our own, let's pause and add our own D A let's pause and add our own intentions, right now
Em G D A x2
Em Gm You were hiding from the sun
[Verse 4]
D Em G All the latest toughs, well, we have seen that stuff Gm D Em G And we have seen enough blood in dying coughs, which means that we have lost Gm A G D Em G We have lost, and if you're crying to be tossed they'll toss you down the oubliette with all the old things A Bm E G A that You let yourself forget because you'd like to love a star who'd throw you down below the ground D he thinks you are
