N.C. = No chord played
in the Pre-chorus, the bass line plays D E F. If you can include the E as a passing bass note it sounds
better, but it isn't a chord in itself.

When I'm walking back from the polling station

Am G F

Knowing that it's all downhill from here

N.C.

It's like a bad dream

When I see the mess

That the bastards made of the NHS

Am G F

It brings me close to tears.

[Pre-Chorus]

Dm E F

And we try

Dm E F Fsus2

To look on the bright side.

[Chorus]

C G

But to our teachers and our parents

Am F

Can't you hear us say

C G

We know that Tony broke your hearts

Am F

So why'd you let him stay?

C G

And now we're picking through the ruins

Am F

Of a better day

Am G F

Just looking for whatever's left.

Am G F

Just looking for whatever's left.

C G Am F

[Verse 3]

N.C

It's like a bad dream

When I see that guy

With the poison words and the purple tie

Am G F

On the news every night.

[Verse 4]

It's like a bad dream

No one my age

Can find the words

For a living wage

Am G F

But still the prices rise.

And we try

Dm E F Fsus2

To look on the bright side.

Oh, I'm sick of being told that I don't understand

C G Am F

By people who are selling me Ed Miliband

C G Am F

Oh, but I don't believe the answer here is Russell Brand

Am G F

To the question of whatever's left.

[Harmonica solo]

C G Am F

(x3)

Am G F

[Chorus]

C G

To our teachers and our parents

Am F

Am F

So why'd you let him stay?

C G

And now we're picking through the ruins

Am F

Of a better day

Am G F

Just looking for whatever's left.

C G Am F

And so I'm going down the only hopeful road I've seen

C G Am F

I'm trying to find something working in a broken machine

C G Am F

And if the only red politics I see are green

Am G F

Well then, I'm looking for whatever's left.

Am G F

Oh yeah, we're looking for whatever's left.

Am G F

Oh yeah, I'm looking for whatever's left.
