Intro: E B C#m A
       
                 E                    
      And the moment will come when composure returns
              B                            
      Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall
                C#m                
      And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air
                 A                    
      Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade
                  E              
      Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way
                B
      And for once in your life you have nothing to say
                  C#m
      And could this be the time when somebody will come
                 A
      To say, "Look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone".....
 

      ( E B C#m A ) 

               E       
      Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill
                 B 
      Read the letter you got from the memory girl
                C#m
      But it takes more than this to make sense of the day
                A
      Yeah it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste
                E
      And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that
                 B
      And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag
               C#m
      Of the United States of Calamity, hey!
                  A
      After all that you've done boy, Im sure you're going to pay..... 
 

       ( E B C#m A ) (?rg?o solo)

                E
      In the morning you come to the ladies salon
                 B
      To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne
                C#m
      But the people are living far away from the place
            A
      Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste
                E
      And the puzzle will last till somebody will say
                   B
      "There's a lot to be done while your head is still young"
               C#m    
      If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind
                 A
      Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine.....


       ( E B C#m A ) (?rg?o solo)

                E
      Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid
             B
      Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came
                 C#m
      Then you go to the place where you've finally found
                 A
      You can look at yourself sleep the clock around
