G
This one is for you

    Bm             C
and it goes on and on and on

     G
when nothing seems to do

    Bm                         C
for when the doubtless and the wrong

G
ask; 'can I help you?'

        Bm                 C
in that way that says, 'I can't'

    G
or claim we're all the same

       Bm         C
just inconsistant

   Bm
or pretend all understanding

       C
turned out to be pretense

        D                                  C
then pretend the pretense of understanding

                              Bm
How long does it take depends

You can cast your doubts

C
Turn em inside-out

D                    C
Hang em upside-down

                    G    D                      Bm             C
Til their art falls out  -  the short answer's; forty-eight hours

Let your heart all out - the short answer's; forty-eight hours Til your art falls out - the short answer's; forty-eight hours Let your heart all out Summon up all your power C C G G Bm C (X2)

G 
If you need a good connection for drugs

     Bm                   C
or a strong tolerance for alcohol

G
Too little religious education

Bm     C
       Some pain threshold

G
If from the outside

           Bm                  C
There's no demand for what you do

    G
And inside there's an army waiting

          Bm              C
For their marching orders for you

Bm
Come sit on my swing-set

C
Come sit on my porch

      D 
After Ten at night, smoke your cigarettes

       C               Bm
if you like, of course

You can cast your doubts

C
Turn em inside-out

D                     C
Hang em upside-down

                    G    D                      Bm             C
Til their art falls out  -  the short answer's; forty-eight hours

Let your heart all out - the short answer's; forty-eight hours Til your art falls out - the short answer's; forty-eight hours Let your heart all out Summon up all your power

C     C
      And it does on and on and on

B E(X7)

B  E                  B    E
    If we ever get home

let's don't compare let's relinquish all our holidays and Drive-In Premieres B E

C  D                 C
   if we ever get home

        B  E
and get celebrity skin

B   E                  B   E
    the illusion of tough

I'm gonna talk about nothing til nothing's enough B E

C  D                 C
   if we ever get home

and the subject comes up this War isn't for children War is nothing's enough

G                                Bm     C
O' in the clouds of blood at the end of JAWS

G                                    Bm    C
in the misted cars honking their applause

G                      Bm C
at the Drive-In Double Feature

G                           Bm  C
at the heart of dark enough

         G                  Bm C
O' it's JAWS and The Dark Canuck

G                             Bm C
should we stay for The Dark Canuck?

    G                    Bm  C
yea.Everyone, hands up!?

      G                      Bm  C
Who's for 'The Dark Canuck'?

C                          C
I think we relinquished enough

     G                    Bm  C
and it's still dark enough

and it goes on and on and on
