Intro: E5 B5 C#5 A5
       
                 E5                    
      And the moment will come when composure returns
              B5                            
      Put a face on the world, turn your back to the wall
                C#5                
      And you walk twenty yards with your head in the air
                 A5                    
      Down the Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade
                  E5              
      Look with curious eyes on your raggedy way
                B5
      And for once in your life you have nothing to say
                  C#5
      And could this be the time when somebody will come
                 A5
      To say, "Look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone".....
 

      ( E5 B5 C#5 A5 ) 

               E5       
      Take a walk in the park, take a valium pill
                 B5 
      Read the letter you got from the memory girl
                C#5
      But it takes more than this to make sense of the day
                A5
      Yeah it takes more than milk to get rid of the taste
                E5
      And you trusted to this, and you trusted to that
                 B5
      And when you saw it all come, it was waving the flag
               C#5
      Of the United States of Calamity, hey!
                  A5
      After all that you've done boy, Im sure you're going to pay..... 
 

       ( E5 B5 C#5 A5 ) (?rg?o solo)

                E5
      In the morning you come to the ladies salon
                 B5
      To get all fitted out for The Paperback Throne
                C#5
      But the people are living far away from the place
            A5
      Where you wanted to help, it's a bit of a waste
                E5
      And the puzzle will last till somebody will say
                   B5
      "There's a lot to be done while your head is still young"
               C#5    
      If you put down your pen, leave your worries behind
                 A5
      Then the moment will come, and the memory will shine.....


       ( E5 B5 C#5 A5 ) (?rg?o solo)

                E5
      Now the trouble is over, everybody got paid
             B5
      Everybody is happy, they are glad that they came
                 C#5
      Then you go to the place where you've finally found
                 A5
      You can look at yourself sleep the clock around
