Dm* C'*
So amused, the six street peddlers come to sing your blues
Dm* C'*
And money spent, to damn the rivers of your discontent
F* C*
You got your invitation to the bachelor's ball
Gm* C* F*
And you stay out till the sun comes creeping up your bedroom wall
Dm/A / / / | Dm/A / / / | Dm/A / / / | Dm/A / / / |

Dm/A F
Ivory tower, you sit and while away the idle hours
Dm/A C
Skin and bones, the city streets below just weep and moan
F C
But from your window above, you only hear the rain
Bb C F
You touch the world through a glove, it's so much easier than feeling pain
Bb F C Bb
And they're inventing hunger in the grey of dawn
Bb F C Bb
As I sit among your parliament of pawns
Bb F C Dm
Just growing younger with every yawn
C F C Bb
And in the ashes of the cities that you've burned
C F
We'll sit and wait for your return
Dm/A F
So composed, wake on the floor in your designer clothes
Dm/A C
And so refined, you think the country's just a state of mind
F C
Switch like a switchblade my love, cut the young men down
Bb C F
You've been to heaven above, but your feet have never touched the ground
Bb F C Bb
And we brought you roses in eternal bloom
Bb F C Bb
While you stand before us in your royal gloom
Bb F C Dm
Holding a torch to your silver spoon
C F C Bb
And in the ashes of the cities that you've burned
C F
We'll sit and wait for your return
Outro: |: F / / /|F / / /|Bb/ / /|C / / / :| (x6 times)
~end on F
