     Am             F              G
I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving

           Am   F             G
England is mine, it owes me a living

           Am           F                G
But ask me why and I'll spit in your eye

   Am              F               G
Oh ask me why and I'll spit in your eye

     Em       Am            F            G
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore

   Em         Am            F          G
No we cannot cling to those dreams.
[Pre-Chorus]
         Am            F
Does the body rule the mind?

            G             F
or does the mind rule the body?

     Am    F   G
I dunno...
[Chorus]
          Am    F        G
Under the iron bridge we kissed

               Am        F          G
and although I ended up with sore lips

       Em      Am        F           G
It just wasn't like the old days anymore

   Em        Am         F
No it wasn't like those days

   G      Am    F  G
Am I still ill?
Am F G
         Am            F
Does the body rule the mind

            G             F
or does the mind rule the body?
[Verse 2]
    Am    F G
I dunno...

       Am          F     G
Ask me why and I'll die

   Am          F       G
Oh ask me why and I'll die

           Em         Am     F       G
and if you must go to work tomorrow

        Em           Am              F  G
well if I were you I wouldn't bother

              Am                F   
for there are brighter sides to life

             G                 F
and I should know because I've seen them

             Am     F G
but not very often
[Chorus]
          Am    F        G
Under the iron bridge we kissed

               Am        F          G
and although I ended up with sore lips

       Em      Am        F           G
It just wasn't like the old days anymore

   Em        Am         F
No it wasn't like those days

   G      Am    F  G
Am I still ill?
Am F G
