Tom:
A E F#m C#
It doesn't matter what I say
D A D E
So long as I sing with inflection
A E F#m C#
That makes you feel that I'll convey
D A D E
Some inner truth of vast reflection
A E F#m C#
But I've said nothing so far
D A D E
And I can keep it up as long as it takes
A E F#m C#
And it don't matter who you are
D A D E
If I'm doing my job, it's your resolve that breaks
[REFRÃ]
[Refrão]
A E F#m C#
Because the hook brings you back
D A D E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
A E F#m C#
The hook brings you back
D A D E
On that you can rely
[Próxima Parte]
A E F#m C#
There is something amiss
D A D E
I am being insincere
A E F#m C#
In fact I don't mean any of this
D A D E
Still my confession draws you near
A E F#m C#
To confuse the issue I refer
D A D E
To familiar heroes from long ago
A E F#m C#
No matter how much Peter loved her
D A D E
What made the Pan refuse to grow?
[REFRÃO]
[Próxima Parte]
A
Suck it in suck it in suck it in
E F#m
If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
C#
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
D
And then begin
A D
to see what you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
It's so PC it's killing me
E A
So desperately I sing to thee of love
E F#m
Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self
C# D
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
A D
I tried, well no in fact I lied
E
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
A
To hide or slide
E F#m
I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
C#
And only then shall I abide this tide
D
Of catchy little tunes
A
Of hip three minute ditties
D
I wanna bust all your balloons
E A
I wanna burn all of your cities to the ground
E
I've found I will not mess around
F#m
Unless I play then hey
C# D
I will go on all day hear what I say
I have a prayer to pray
A
That's really all this was
D
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
E
I don't rely on luck
[REFRÃO]
