[Verse 1]
DHigh upon a hillside
A preacher tells a story to a crowd
DHe tells the same old story
A thousand times he's read that story loud
CHe wants to give the answers but his words are only
BmAnswers to nothing
[Verse 2]
DLying in my bedroom
A man comes on my TV with a grin
DHe tells me to believe him
He said that I should put my faith in him
CHe says he has the answers
But his words are only
BmAnswers to nothing
[Chorus]
EmOh, oh, oh, believed for the last time
EmOh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time
[Verse 3]
DHear the chosen leaders
Say we can't stay sitting on the fence
DBelieve the stuff they feed us
They're buying guns and bombs for our defence
CThey think this is the answer
But their thoughts are only
DAnswers to nothing
[Verse 4]
DWhere is all the friendship
How can all the comradeship be done
DWhat of all the teachings
What of things we learned when we were young
CIt doesn't bear the asking, 'cos the answers given were
BmAnswers to nothing
[Chorus]
EmOh, oh, oh, lied for the last time
EmOh, oh, oh, died for the last time
DOh, oh, oh, Bmcried for the last time, Dthis time
EmOh, oh, oh, believed for the last time
EmOh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time
DOh, oh, oh, Bmbelieved for the last time, Dthis time
[Verse 5]
DHigh upon a hillside
A preacher tells a story to a crowd
DHe tells the same old story
A thousand times he's read that story loud
CHe wants to give the answers but his words are only
DAnswers to nothing
[Verse 6]
DLying in my bedroom
A man comes on my TV with a grin
DHe tells me to believe him
He said that I should put my faith in him
CHe says he has the answers but his words are only

[Chorus/Outro]
EmOh, oh, oh, lied for the last time
EmOh, oh, oh, cried for the last time
EmOh, oh, oh, died for the last time
EmOh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time
EmOh, oh, oh, Bmbelieved for the last time, Dthis time

[Verse 1]

High upon a hillside

A preacher tells a story to a crowd

He tells the same old story

A thousand times he's read that story loud

He wants to give the answers but his words are only

Answers to nothing

[Verse 2]

Lying in my bedroom

A man comes on my TV with a grin

He tells me to believe him

He said that I should put my faith in him

He says he has the answers

But his words are only

Answers to nothing

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, believed for the last time

Oh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time

[Verse 3]

Hear the chosen leaders

Say we can't stay sitting on the fence

Believe the stuff they feed us

They're buying guns and bombs for our defence

They think this is the answer

But their thoughts are only

Answers to nothing

[Verse 4]

Where is all the friendship

How can all the comradeship be done

What of all the teachings

What of things we learned when we were young

It doesn't bear the asking, 'cos the answers given were

Answers to nothing

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, oh, lied for the last time

Oh, oh, oh, died for the last time

D Bm D

Oh, oh, oh, cried for the last time, this time

Oh, oh, oh, believed for the last time

Oh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time

D Bm D

Oh, oh, oh, believed for the last time, this time

[Verse 5]

High upon a hillside

A preacher tells a story to a crowd

He tells the same old story

A thousand times he's read that story loud

He wants to give the answers but his words are only

Answers to nothing

Lying in my bedroom

A man comes on my TV with a grin

He tells me to believe him

He said that I should put my faith in him

He says he has the answers but his words are only

Answers to nothing

[Chorus/Outro]

Oh, oh, oh, lied for the last time

Oh, oh, oh, cried for the last time

Oh, oh, oh, died for the last time

Oh, oh, oh, deceived for the last time

Oh, oh, oh, believed for the last time, this time
