Afternoon In The Sunshine

Tom: A
A D
Naivety isn't bliss
A E
And that's why I'm waving a placard
A D
Banning a bomb, righting a wrong
A E A
Or trying and being ignored
A D
'cause if you want the pie in the sky
A E
Well baby you'd better believe it
A D A E A
'cause the moon on a stick to the filthy and rich is another political puppet
A D
And the left leaning liberals got lonely
A E
Defending the rights of us all
A D
Everyone else just looks selfish
A E A
Thinking of only a few
A D
But we have all got our opinions
A E
And we will all share them in time
A D
Sometimes our opinions are different though
A E A
And that's where the problems lie

[Chorus]
D A
But we all want to live, we all want to laugh
E A
We all want to love and we all want to dance
D A
So let's put our problems aside
E A
Spend an afternoon in the sunshine

[Verse 2]
A D
I'm wearing my rose tinted glasses
A E
Over my bleeding heart
A D A E A
Enjoying every moment of this wonderful life that I've got
A D
Fooling myself that by singing my songs
A E
I'm kind of doing my bit
A D A E A
But I'm as embarrassed as everyone else at the the size of my footprint

[Chorus 2]
D A
But I want to eat meat and I want to fly
E A
I don't want to feel guilty just for being alive
D A E A
And I'll work hard to keep my afternoon in the sunshine

[Bridge]
D A E
It's like an angry open letter and an online think piece
D A C# D
An out of tune folk song at an underattended protest
D A C# D
We're all looking left and right as the world goes down the drain
A E A
Let's think about the things that we agree on for a change

[Chorus]
D A
'cause we're all skin and bones, we're all flesh and blood
E A
We all get lonely and we all need love
D A
Deep down we are all the same
E A
Just a human in a race
D A
And we all want to live, we all want to laugh
