VERSE:
Bm A G Em Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me Bm A G Em This supermarket life is getting long Bm A G Em What is the heart life of a colour TV Bm A G Em C What is the shelf life of a teenage queen D Dsus2 D G Ooh Western woman D Dsus2 D G Ooh Western girl Bm New hounds sniff the air A G Em When Jessica Hahn goes down Bm A G Em He latches onto that symbol of detachment Bm A G Em attracted by the peeling away of feeling Bm A G Em C The celebrity of the abused shell the belle D Dsus2 D G Ooh Western woman D Dsus2 D G Ooh Western girl D Dsus2 D G Ooh Western woman D Dsus2 D G Ooh Western girl D And the children of Melrose D Dsus2 Strut their stuff G Is absolute zero cold enough D Dsus2 D And out in the valley warm and clean G The little ones sit by their TV screens D Dsus2 D No thoughts to think G No tears to cry G A Bm All sucked dry A G Down to the very last breath Em A Bartender what is wrong with me? Em A Why am I so out of breath? Em A The captain said excuse me ma'am Em A This species has amused itself to death
(intro notes comes in full force)
D Dsus2 D G Amused itself to death D Dsus2 D G Amused itself to death D Dsus2 D G We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
D We bought and sold Dsus2 D G It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
D we ohhed and aahed Dsus2 D we drove our racing cars G We ate our last few jars of cavier D And somewhere out there in the stars Dsus2 D A keen-eyed look-out G Spied a flickering light D Our last hurrah G Our last hurrah Em A And when they found our shadows Em A Grouped around the TV sets Em A They ran down every lead Em A They repeated every test Bm G They checked out all the data on their lists Bm And then the alien anthropologists G Em Admitted they were still perplexed D But on eliminating every other reason Dsus2 D G For our sad demise D Dsus2 D G They logged the explanation left G Bm This species has amused itself to death
