Em           A
This England made me,
D                      Bm
Between a war and a rocket span,
Em                    A
You've found a crib it saves me,
D                   Bm
And teach me wrong and right,
Em                A
And the world was talking,
D                        Bm
Never got it's chance to say,
Em                    A
When there's too much talking,
D                       Bm
Nobody hears a word you say

Em        A
You won't see,
D                   Bm
So baby now I won't hear,
Em                A
It's blind communications,
D                         Bm
Only lasts throughout the year,
Em                     A 
And half of what we're saying,
D                  Bm
Is half-way to the truth,
Em                A 
It's blind communications,
D                       Bm
For a million heart and fools


Em       A 
I am a witness,
D                      Bm
To a land of a million fools,
Em          A 
All placing bets on life,
D                     Bm
And hate the ones you lose,
Em             A 
And all who're lonely,
D                   Bm
Never get the chance to say,
Em                   A 
The fact that one and only, 
D                      B
Will be the chance to even play

Chorus

Em         A
You won't see,
D                 Bm
So baby now I won't hear,
Em               A
It's blind communications,
D                     Bm
Only lasts throughout the year,
Em                   A 
And half of what we're saying,
D                Bm
Is half-way to the truth,
Em               A 
It's blind communications,
D                   Bm
For a million heart and fools


Em    A 
Hello monday,
D                  Bm
The weekend's just a blur,
Em               A 
I've been burning bridges,
D                       Bm
and now I'm begging at your door,
Em          A 
So keep on working,
D                       Bm
Cos it's a chance for me to play,
Em                  A 
Cos there's too much talking,
D                        Bm
When you believe the words I say
