A9 F#m C#m7
Don't think me unkind
A9 F#m C#m7
Words are hard to find
A9 F#m C#m7
The only cheques I've left unsigned
A9 F#m C#m7
From the banks of chaos in my mind
D E
And when their eloquence escapes me
D E
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
(Riff 1)
A9 A A4 A E D
De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you
A9 A A4 A E D
De do do do, de da da da, their innocence will pull me through
A9 A A4 A E D
De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you
A9 A A4 A E D
De do do do, de da da da, they're meaningless and all that's true
(Riff 2)
A9 F#m C#m7
Poets, priests and politicians
A9 F#m C#m7
Have words to thank for their positions
A9 F#m C#m7
Words that scream for your submission
A9 F#m C#m7
And no one's jamming their transmission
D E
And when their eloquence escapes me
D E
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
