Chords

The bulk of the song is a progression from open A, barred D and E, up to high barred A (12th fret). The paterns of playing these chords make the song; it's hard to describe but easy to pick up by listening to the song. In the intro, post-chorus refrain and final outro, play the bass note followed by the chord. In the verse it's played as simple downstrokes. You can also vary whether the final A is played high or low to mix it up a little. In the chorus there's a quick down-up strumming pattern, again the easiest thing would be to listen to the song to get the idea. [Intro] A D E A A D E A [Verse]
A             D   E
Gone are the flames

             A
Gone is the world of mystery

A               D  E
The slaughtered lamb

          A
Is gonna stay that way

A          D   E
One man he wins

            A
One mans a dancing to his grave

A        D    E
Who do I follow?

         A
Who do I blame?
[Chorus]
      A   G D  A      
You can't deny it

               D   A
The poets are  wrong

      A   G D  A
You can't deny it

              D   A     
They wrote it wrong
[Instrumental] A D E A x2 [Verse]
A         D E
After the fun

       A
After all the bubble gum

A           D     E
There is no sweetness

             A
Left on my tongue, oh

A         D E
After the fun

       A
After all the bubble gum

A           D     E
There is no sweetness

             A
Left on my tongue
[Chorus]
      A   G D  A
You can't deny it

               D   A
The poets are wrong

      A   G D  A
You can't deny it

              D   A 
They wrote it wrong
[Instrumental] A D (repeats) [Outro]
 A           D
Cos love is luck

 A           D
Cos love is luck

 A           D
Cos love is luck

 A    A   G  D
And love is luck

 A    A   G  D
And love is luck

 A    A   G  D
Cos love is luck

 A    A   G  D
Cos love is luck
[End] A D E A x 2
