Pet Shop Boys – Living In The Past (Guitar)

D
I arrive in the city

             A
where they’ve unveiled a bust

Em
 of my predecessor

G                 A
 still much discussed

D
We tried to forget him

           A
His crimes were catalogued

Em
 But in the new circumstances

       G           A
once again he’s a god

D       Dsus4  G    A
The past isn’t even past

       D    A      G      D A G
That’s how long it lasts

D
I want them to fear me

     A
like everyone feared him

Em
 Arrested and shot

  G          A
but still they revered him

D
 Like him I’ll win

A
 I won’t be eclipsed

Em
 I want men to die

       G               A
with my name on their lips

D       Dsus4  G    A
The past isn’t even past

       D    A      G      D A G
That’s how long it lasts

 D       Dsus4  G    A
The past isn’t even past

       D    A      G      D A G
That’s how long it lasts

F#m C#m                   F#m
I’m the living embodiment

G
of a heart of stone

A
A human monument

F#m     G
to testosterone

F#m
Though inside I’m dead

Em
it’s too late to lose

F#m
I’m all they ever talk about

G                        A
on their news cycle of abuse

             D
I’m there on your borders

A
 Not gonna quit

Em
 To new world orders

       G     A
I will never submit

D
Call me a warmonger

         A
and I’ll give you a war

Em
 Say I’m a cheat

            G           A
and I’ll still fake the score

D
There’s no defeat

                 A
that I’ll answer for

Em
The West is effete

            G            A
and they’re begging for more

D
I’ll get it all back

     A
the old status quo

Em
 I remember how it was

       G
and I won’t let it go

       D   A       G      D A G
That’s how long it lasts

  D       Dsus4  G    A
The past isn’t even past

       D    A      G
That’s how long it lasts
