Lean back into the wind

                       C         G
It?s an empty cold outside
   E
I sent you back just the smoothest rock I could find

 C                                             G
Accompanied by just a couple of words came to mind
         E
It?s an old concept

Sending letters again
C                                           G
Well thought out, rehearsed and written in pen
E
Paperless here is a thing of the past
     C                               G
I?m cutting down trees and using up gas
A            C
We?ve got Mandarax and loveless sex
      G                                              B7       E
And information passing right through our skin and bones.... oh
E
Spot on with my content for the lesser known
     C       E
In spite of all of the rules of my own

That I break up in stride
C
Ignoring my front, back
                          G
Ignoring my left and my right
           E
It?s my moral compass

And it?s easy to find
C                                       G
Well thought out, intentionally left behind
E
It?s regrettable, yes

But how could I ever sleep at night?
C                                          G
Knowing I had rules and knowing I had to abide
A             C
We?ve got Mandarax and loveless sex
      G                                              B7
And information passing right through our skin and bones
          C
It?s the information age
     G            D
Of lesser consequence to the silence
C
The information age
     G                 D
Of fountain pens and real stationary
C
The information age
     G            D
Of lesser consequence to the silence
C
The information age
