[Verse 1]
D G
It was midnight, midnight at noon
D G
Everyone talked in rhyme
D G
Everyone saw the big clock ticking
D F G
Nobody knew, nobody knew the time
D G
Elegant debutantes smiled
D G
Everyone fought for dimes
D F
Newspapers screamed for blood
Em Bm
It was the best of times
[Chorus]
Am F
Every place around the world it seemed the same
Am F
Can't hear the rhythm for the drums
Am F
Everybody wants to look the other way
Am F
When something wicked this way comes
Gm C
Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree
Am
Sometimes I stare
D
Sometimes it's me
[Verse 2]
D G
Everyone told the truth
D G
All that we heard were lies
D G
A pope claimed that he'd been wrong in the past
Em B
This was a big surprise
D G
Everyone fell in love
D G
A cardinal's wife was jailed
D F G
The government saved a dying planet
Em Bm
When popular icons failed
[Chorus]
Am F
Every place around the world it seemed the same
Am F
Can't hear the rhythm for the drums
Am F
Everybody wants to look the other way
Am F
When something wicked this way comes
[Outro]
Gm C
Sometimes they tie a thief to the tree
Am Dm
Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's me
Am Dm
Sometimes I stare, sometimes it's me
