Intro, Piano: D  Bm

Verse 1:
D (10th fret 'F' Shape)        Bm (7th fret barre)
The platitudes they all dissolved
                                D(10th (xx0232@1)fret 'F' Shape)
They got too deep, got too involved
                          Bm(7th (x24432@1)fret barre)
The platitudes just interludes 
                                 A(Normal (x02220@1)chords from here on)
To break the trust with me and you

Verse 2:
                   EmOh (022000@1)what a shangri-la 
                     GOh (320003@1)what a shell we are
                        DOh (xx0232@1)what a mess we've made 
                        AWhat (x02220@1)happened to those days
                             EmWhen (022000@1)everything seemed possible
                         GWith (320003@1)no-one to tell you no
                        DWhere (xx0232@1)did the feeling go?
                      AWhere (x02220@1)did it all go wrong?
                     EmBorn (022000@1)to be a communist
                           GBut (320003@1)then the marriage failed
                     DAs (xx0232@1)did the partnership

                 AIn (x02220@1)every single home
                      EmWhere (022000@1)did the feeling go?
