(Riff 2)
A9         F#m   C#m7
Don't think me unkind
A9        F#m     C#m7
Words are hard to find
A9       F#m                 C#m7
The only cheques I've left unsigned
A9                F#m         C#m7
From the banks of chaos in my mind

D                          E
And when their eloquence escapes me
D                             E
Their logic ties me up and rapes me

(Riff 1)
   A9       A   A4       A   E                        D
De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you
   A9       A   A4       A   E                                D
De do do do, de da da da, their innocence will pull me through
   A9       A   A4       A   E                        D
De do do do, de da da da, is all I want to say to you
   A9       A   A4       A   E                                   D
De do do do, de da da da, they're meaningless and all that's true

(Riff 2)
A9       F#m           C#m7
Poets, priests and politicians
A9            F#m                   C#m7
Have words to thank for their positions
A9          F#m                  C#m7
Words that scream for your submission
A9             F#m                     C#m7
And no one's jamming their transmission

D                          E
And when their eloquence escapes me
D                             E
Their logic ties me up and rapes me
