[Intro]
C#m
[Verse 1]
E D A
I'm walking down the road where the car yards end
E D A
There's bright flags waving in the air
E D A
But it don't seem like much of a party here
A B
I don't think so

Whilst this man's selling Amway to all his friends

She's been chasing cosmic thrills
E D A
Is someone pulling faces from up above?
A B
I don't think so
[Pre-chorus]

Maybe it's all in the way that we strive to be rich

It seems like every last one for themselves
B
Every last one for themselves
[Chorus]
B E A E A
And we're just throwing it away
A E
Oh well, we had something here
E F#m A
But you never know quite what you've got
A B
Until the other mob comes and takes the whole machinery
[Verse 2]
B E D A
If you drive around this city for days on end
E D A
The streets all start to look the same
E D A
And reason is asleep in this big fat town

Well I think so

Maybe, we're falling asleep
B C#m A E B
Maybe, we've lost it, and we won't get it back
