Intro: Dbm

Verse 1:
Dbm                Dbm              Dbm
    Time it tells, living in my hometown.
               Dbm
Wedding bells, they begin easy.
Dbm               Dbm                  Dbm
    Live it down, Baby don't talk that much.
                 Dbm
Baby knows, that Baby don't tease me.
E                E
    In the park, we could go walking.
A                 A
Down in the dark, we could go sailing.
Dbm             Dbm
    On the sea.

Interlude: Dbm Dbm

Dbm              Dbm                   Dbm
    Always here, always on time, close call.
                Dbm
Was it love, or was it just easy?
Dbm                   Dbm                   Dbm
    Money talks, when people need shoes and socks.
               Dbm
Steady boys, I think that she needs me.
E          E                    A
I was just sipping on something sweet.
                A
I don't need political process.

Pre-chorus 1:
Dbm                                 Abm
    I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door.
E                                   Gbm
    I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more.
Dbm                            Abm
    See, I was thinking that I lost my mind,
E                               Gbm
    but it's been getting to me all this time
    Ab         Ab
and don't stop dragging me down.

Chorus 1:
E            B
Silently, reflection
Dbm               A
turns my world to stone.
E             B
Patiently, correction
Dbm            Ab
leaves us all alone.
    A               B
And sometimes I'm a-travelling,
       Dbm                B   A
but tonight this engine's failing.

Interlude: B

    Dbm              A
And I still hear the children playing:

Verse 2:
Dbm                Dbm                         Dbm
    “Kick the can, kick the can, skip and blackjack.”
                  Dbm
“Steal a car, and Ring-Around-Rosie.”
Dbm                 Dbm
    “Rock 'n' Roll, Candyland, Bogeyman.”
Dbm                Dbm
    “Run away, and give me your sneakers.”
Dbm                 Dbm               Dbm
    Acid rain, when G#el looked up at Cain.
          Dbm
We began, weeping and wailing.
Dbm                 Dbm                   Dbm
    Hurry high from pestilence, pills and pride.
                 Dbm
It's a shame, we could've gone sailing.
E                     E                 A
    But heaven knows, heaven knows everything.
              A
Tranquillise.

Pre-chorus 2:
Dbm                                 Abm
    I got this feeling that they're gonna break down the door.
E                                   Gbm
    I got this feeling that they're gonna come back for more.
Dbm                            Abm
    See, I was thinking that I lost my mind,
E                               Gbm
    but it's been getting to me all this time
    Ab         Ab
and don't stop dragging me down.

Chorus 2:
E            B
Silently, reflection
Dbm               A
turns my world to stone.
E             B
Patiently, correction
Dbm            Ab
leaves us all alone.
    A               B
And sometimes I'm a-travelling,
       Dbm                B   A
but tonight this engine's failing.

Interlude: B

    Dbm              A
And I still hear the children playing.
B                  Gbm            E
Dead beat dancers, come to us and stay.

Outro:
       B                    Dbm
'Cos I don't care where you been
      B                   E
and I don't care what you seen.
          Dbm               A
We're the ones who still believe
          B             E
and we're looking for a page
        B                Dbm
in that lifeless book of hope,
      B                     E
where dreams might help you cope.
          Dbm            A
Where the bushes and the bombs,
   B            E
oh-oh, tranquillise.
