This England made me,

Em A
And the world was talking,
D B
Never got it's chance to say,
Em A
When there's too much talking,
Dmaj7 B
Nobody hears a word you say

Em A
You won't see,
D B
So baby now I won't hear,
Em A
It's blind communications,

Em A
And half of what we're saying,
D B
Is half-way to the truth,
Em A
It's blind communications,
D B
For a million heart and fools

Cos it's a chance for me to play,

Cos there's too much talking,
Dmaj7 B
When you believe the words I say
