LIVING ON A THIN LINE- The Kinks
D C G
All the stories we've been told of kings and days of old
D F C
But there's no England now (there's no England now)
D
All the wars that were won and lost
C G D F C
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore
D
All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told)
C G D F C
All the lives of the people running round and castles that burned
D C G D
Now I see change but inside we're the same as we ever were
D C G D
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
D C G D
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
D C G
Living on a thin line, living this way, each day's a dream
D
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
D C G D
Living on a thin line, oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
C G D
Now another century nearly gone (gone, gone)
C G D
What are we gonna leave for the young?
C G D
What we couldn't do, or what we wouldn't do, disappoint but does it matter?
C G
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
D
Does it ever really matter? Yes, it really really matters!
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
F G Em
Then another (leave us cents), break their hearts and break some heads
G F Am
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Am G C
Blame the future on the past, always lost in bloody guts
D
And when they're gone it tears you
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
D F C D
Living on a thin line oooohh
NOTE: I'm not sure of all the words, especially the "leave us cents" part.
