Am G Em D/F#

Three dozen cycles, give or take a sum

Bm C Am D

The sum of that experience how to keep running

G Em C D

O I know justice, it's a birthright if you're born right

G Em C D

And I know how handsome is that trick of the light

D G C Am

So don't be mistaken in thinking I'll do right

Given the chance to do wrong again and again again and a...

Am G Em D/F#

..gain summer romeos casing the park,

Bm C Am D

By the uniform urinals of love's rural province.

G Em C D

O don't you know time, with its petty vial of sands

G Em C D

Inscrutable face and merciless hands

D G C Am

And don't you know love it's a whirlwind of feathers,

D G C Am

Tickles you to your nethers and leaves a terrain of despair

Am G Em D/F#

And I know when grief goes unchecked,

Bm C Am D

There's a kind of relief in the wreckage for the wrecked

Am G Em D/F#

Weren't you alone last time I saw you?

Bm C Am D

How do you keep running from the world and the war

G Em C D

O I know young fathers who once were like soldiers

Monday night, goodies and the doctor

Bm C Am D

Now that bath time's over, time for pyjamas

G Em C D

O I know self pity, it begins with nostalgia

G Em C D

And you'll die of melancholy if the dolor don't get ya

D G C Am

And I know a poem on a wall next to a picture

D G C Am

Of a dick and a fanny by a smear of regret

Am G Em D/F#

And it sings of its own long demise

Bm C Am D

Something 'bout imperium and a new sun will rise,

G Em C D

O please don't go with those horrible guys

D G C Am

They only want one thing

G Em C D

O please don't go with those horrible guys

D G C C

D7add4

They only want one thing again and again
