A E Been living in the cAity tooE long nAow

E Even my lungs have sB7tarted toE groan

A E Everybody is sAinging theirE own sonAg

E Sometimes I wantB7 to sing alEone

E A Never been a pErima donna

I nAever seem to want to be the oEne to complB7ain

B7 E Enough's too much and nAow I'm a goner

C♯mStop the madness scAene before it dB7rives me insEane

A Take me where the Esun won't shine on me

A Take me where my cEonscience won't B7go now

E Take me where the sAun won't shine - on me

C♯mDon't tell me I'm bAacking out 'cause B7I don't want to kEnow

A E Everyone around this tAown is so Eangry nowA

E Blaring horns and swearing; sB7hakingE fists

A E If everybody in the wAorld was a hEit manA

E We'd wipe each other off each B7other's hitE lists

E A Who wants to stanEd and be counted

Or Aanger every man until there's lEines on your fB7ace, nB7ow

E I don't want to be the oAne to start the shouting

I'm C♯mpart of this socAiety and B7I know my pElace

A E Everything around this town is so boring

Well nothing changes; Nothing doesn't stay the same

A E Ten years when we had high ideals

We couldn't wait to play the protest game

E A But now we have our thEing together

E A Our brand new leathers, three bEank accB7ounts

E Who cares about the sAtarving millions

WC♯me're just hAappy that our chB7eques don't bEounce

A Take me where the Esun won't shine on me

A Take me where my cEonscience won't B7go now

E Take me where the sAun won't shine - on me

C♯mDon't tell me I'm bAacking out 'cause B7I don't want to kEnow

Notes

~~~~~

1. I'm not too sure about the lyrics (thanks to Alan Pulliam for supplying

them, BTW). I had completely the wrong idea originally in a few places

and I've listened carefully and made one or two minor changes to them,

but I'm still unsure of a few bits:

Stop the madness scene before it drives me insane

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

^especially this bit^

Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts

^^^^^^^^

Here, Alan reckons it's probably `Lotus'

4. The licks in this song are pretty easy, so I haven't included them in

the CRD.
