Intro: G
 
Am F G
I degree today that life is simply taking and not giving
Am F G
England is mine and it owes me a living
Am F G
But ask me why and i'll spit in your eye
Am F G
Oh ask me why and i'll spit in your eye
Em Am F G
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
Em Am F G
No we cannot cling to those dreams
 
Am F
Does the body rule mind?
G
Or does the mind rule the body?
Am F G
I dunno
 
Am F G
Under the iron bridge we kissed
Am F G
And although i ended up with sore lips
Em Am F G
It just wasnt like the old days anymore
Em Am F
No it wasnt like those days
G Am F G
Am i still ill?

Am F
Does the body rule the mind
G
Or does the mind rule the body?
 
Am F G
I dunno
Am F G
Ask me why and I'll die
Am F G
Oh ask me why and I'll die
Em Am F G
And if you must go to work tomorrow
Em Am F G
Well if I were you I wouldn't bother
Am F G
For there are brighter sides to life
 
And I should know because I've seen them
Am F G
But not very often
 
Am F G
Under the iron bridge we kissed
Am F G
And although i ended up with sore lips
Em Am F G
It just wasnt like the old days anymore
Em Am F
No it wasnt like those days
G Am F G
Am i still ill?
 
( Am F G )
