-VERSE-
Riff 1
Parents don't be too kind to your kids
Riff 1
Or else how will they grow up to be
Riff 3
Last Parisian sinners and astral country singers
Riff 1
Singing about the terrible things their parents did
Riff 2
Lovers dont be sparing with the truth
Riff 1
Break their hearts if that's what you must do
Riff 1
Fill them with remorse tinged with hope of course
Riff 1 E riff
Let their basal instincts pull them through
-CHORUS-
E7 G9 E riff
And though it seems a little strange to me
E7 G9
People never really change it seems
-VERSE-
D D9/G
All across America
A7 riff D D9/G A7 riff
Waitresses and boys who play guitar
D D9/G
They fall in love and fall out
A7 riff
The boys have something to sing about
D D9/G A7 riff
And the girls go drown their sorrows in the bars
D D9/G A7 riff
Meanwhile all across the old country
D D9/G A7 riff
Sets melt out in front of their TVs
D D9/G
Younger brothers and sisters
A7 riff
Ponder on what they're missing
D D9/G A7 riff E riff
Wonder how the air tastes when you're really free
-CHORUS-
E7 G9 E riff
And though it seems a little strange to me

All you broken boys and girls take heart
E7 G9
Come together, fall apart
-POWER VERSE-
D5~ A7 riff
And in Battersea power station the Fisher King

Ponders on his pride among many other things
D5~
Folds his broken hands
D5~
Surveys his baron lands
D5~ D5~ D5
And prays for hope to whisper in the wind
-BRIDGE-
G9
Cause we go on without meaning
A7
We'll die without reason
Dm Dm/C
And the world still goes on
G9
Pass without passing
G6
You can try and try and try

But no one ever makes it out alive

No one ever makes it out alive
