Intro

D Dsus2 x 2

Am            G       Em             D/F#
  Three dozen cycles, give or take a sum
      Bm          C          Am          D   
  The sum of that experience how to keep running
    G      Em              C                    D
  O I know justice, it's a birthright if you're born right
      G          Em          C                 D 
  And I know how handsome is that trick of the light
     D           G        C             Am           
  So don't be mistaken in thinking I'll do right
  D         G            C      D7add4    C     D7add4          
  Given the chance to do wrong again and again again and a...


    Am          G      Em         D/F#
  ..gain summer romeos casing the park,
         Bm      C          Am           D   
  By the uniform urinals of love's rural province.
    G              Em             C             D
  O don't you know time, with its petty vial of sands
    G         Em       C         D 
  Inscrutable face and merciless hands
      D              G           C            Am           
  And don't you know love it's a whirlwind of feathers,
  D                   G                    C            Am     
  Tickles you to your nethers and leaves a terrain of despair


      Am          G            Em       D/F#
  And I know when grief goes unchecked,
            Bm        C           Am               D   
  There's a kind of relief in the wreckage for the wrecked
  Am           G    Em          D/F#
  Weren't you alone last time I saw you?
  Bm              C                Am            D   
  How do you keep running from the world and the war
    G            Em          C              D 
  O I know young fathers who once were like soldiers
   G            Em            C            D 
  AWOL in flung places or without standing orders,
   D         G           C      Am          
  Alarming approaches to time         
           D          G          C     D7add4    C     D7add4          
  And it's killing no victimless crime again and again again and a...

Am       G      Em              D/F#
  Monday night, goodies and the doctor
  Bm                   C     Am         D             
  Now that bath time's over, time for pyjamas
    G           Em         C            D
  O I know self pity, it begins with nostalgia
             G           Em           C           D
  And you'll die of melancholy if the dolor don't get ya
      D        G         C              Am          
  And I know a poem on a wall next to a picture
       D          G          C          Am          
  Of a dick and a fanny by a smear of regret


         Am           G          Em   D/F#
  And it sings of its own long demise 
Bm                  C            Am           D             
  Something 'bout imperium and a new sun will rise,
    G            Em            C        D
  O please don't go with those horrible guys 
  D         G        C     Am
  They only want one thing
    G      Em                  C        D
  O please don't go with those horrible guys 
  D         G        C      D7add4    C     
  They only want one thing again and again 
   D7add4    C     D7add4    Am          
  Again and again again and again
