CAPO - 2nd Fret
AmSo this is the age of the train
AmAll aboard through the labour exchange
 FMy Gmind is Drunning aEway with me
AmI'm a shop worn sales campaign
AmTrapped behind yellow cellophane
 FMy Gmind is Drunning Eaway with
AmEverything I G#mever learned
Comes Gknocking at mF#my head
What you Fthought was way
Too Fmuch is not eEnough
They tell you Amday after Eday
To make your Eway through the factory Amgates
What you Fmake on the factory Efloor
You take Estraight to the company Amstore
They tell you Amday after Eday
To make your Eway through the factory Amgates
'Til they can't Fbreak your will Eanymore
You are conEtractually tied to death's Amdoor
Am
  AmI never left the town I was made in
AmIn Wicker's World, I'm Michael Palin
 FMy Gmind is Drunning aEway with mAme
I record every one of my feelings
AmBy trying bread bags onto the railings
 FMy Gmind is Drunning aEway with
AmEvery one you G#mever loved
Comes Gknocking down your F#mdoor
What you Fthought was way
Too Fmuch is not eEnough
They tell you Amday after Eday
To make your Eway through the factory Amgates

Not enFough, not enough
I want Gwider than this island
Not eFnough, not enough
I want Gbrighter than a diamond
And Ameverything you've G#mever known
