                   B
Didn't think I'd wear brown shoes

                   G#m                    E
Didn't think that I'd ever have to read about this in the news

              B
You're gonna have a go?

               B

I just thought that I should try and say hello to those who'd
[Chorus]

Never exist without being generic

        B              F#
You're out to impress our bovine public

       E
You'd never exist if you wasn't generic

        B              F#
You're out to impress our bovine public

      E
I'll never forget how all this begun

             B              F#
And I will never regret a thing I have done

               E
But you would never exist without us so maybe I do...
[Verse]
        B                            B
...not have the time, fairweather friends of mine

    G#m                                 E
A year's a long time when you'€™re doing nothing with your life

             B
I heard you felt alert?

                 B
Well I'm hoping that it hurt

             G#m                                   E
Cos we spent too much time doing groundwork to be ground into the dirt by those who'd
[Chorus]
  E
Never exist without being generic

[Middle 8]
  B       C#m
You say nothing

    E             F#              B
So you'll always mean nothing to me

     B                     C#m
And if what you say means nothing

                    E           F#             B
Then what you say will always mean nothing to me
