Intro -x2-:
   A E Gbm Db
   D A D E
 
Verse 1:
A          E             Gbm   Db
It doesn't matter what I say
D          A             D   E
So long as I sing with inflection
A              E                 Gbm   Db
That makes you feel that I'll convey
D          A               D   E
Some inner truth of vast reflection
A             E          Gbm    Db
But I've said nothing so far
D              A        D          E
And I can keep it up as long as it takes
A            E              Gbm    Db
And it don't matter who you are
D       A                D                      E
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks
 
Hook:
            A    E          Gbm     Db
Because the Hook brings you back
D       A              D     E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
    A    E          Gbm    Db
The Hook brings you back
D  A              D    E
On that you can rely
 
Verse 2:
A        E          Gbm   Db
There is something amiss
D     A       D      E
I am being insincere
A          E          Gbm      Db
In fact I don't mean any of this
D            A                 D   E
Still my confession draws you near
A              E       Gbm    Db
To confuse the issue I refer
D             A         D      E
To familiar heroes from long ago
A             E                Gbm   Db
No matter how much Peter loved her
D              A            D    E
What made the Pan refuse to grow
 
Hook:
             A    E          Gbm     Db
Was that the Hook brings you back
D       A              D     E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
    A    E          Gbm    Db
The Hook brings you back
D  A              D    E
On that you can rely
 
Popper's Harmonica Solo:
 
Verse 3:
A                                          E
Suck it in suck it in suck it in if you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Gbm                                  Db
Make a desperate move or else you'll win and then begin to
D                                A
See what you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
      D                       E
It's so PC it's killing me so desperately I'll sing to thee of 
A               E
Love, sure but also rage and hate and pain and 
Gbm               Db
fear of self, And I can't keep these feelings on the 
D                      A
shelf, I've tried well no in fact I've lied
      D                          E
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
   A                   E
To hide or slide I'll do as I decide and let it
Gbm                             Db
ride until I've died and only then shall I abide this tide
   D                       A
Of catchy little tunes, of hip three minute ditties
        D                              E
I wanna bust all your balloons I wanna burn all of youre cities
       A                    E
To the ground I've found I will not mess around
         Gbm             Db
Unless I play then hey I will go on all day hear what I 
D                                  A
say I have a prayer to pray that's really all this was
             D                               E
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because the
 
Hook:
A    E          Gbm     Db
Hook brings you back
D       A              D     E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
    A    E          Gbm    Db
The Hook

On that you can rely
