I believe   we're crossing a great ravine
      F#5                     E5
Still yearning,   half-way a stranger
F#5       F#5    F#5              F#5
I believe    in our multiplicity
      F#5                        E5
Still part-blind, no reason for anger
F#5       F#5      F#5                      F#5
I believe we pull up our roots and retreat
      F#5                     E5
A new crop of aerials in Dacca and Canberra


  A5                D5    G5  
  So why don't you tell me
  A5             D5    G5
  Why don't you tell me
  A5             F#5   E5      B5     F#5        F#5 
  Why don't you tell me the truth about you

Vaseline, you smeared it across every scene
F#5                                  E5
Anchor-man drowns in a sea of sensation
F#5     F#5 F#5                            F#5
Tyranny    crushing the young bird's seed
F#5                                  E5
Halloween's mate short fuse of the banker

I thought myself wise through all of these hopeless times
                                                   E5
But I told myself, told myself, you've got to hold on


  A5                D5    G5  
  So why don't you tell me
  A5             D5    G5

  Why don't you tell me the truth about you

  Why don't you tell me
  A5             D5    G5
  Why don't you tell me
  A5             F#5   E5      B5     F#5        F#5 
  Why don't you tell me the truth about you

    About you,    about you
D5  A5  
Until End
