"CIA" Ted Leo & The Pharmacists
INTRO
D A x2 (acoustic only)
D A x4 (all play loud)
D A
Sometimes the rain upon the sea
D A
Can make the gray look green to me.
D A
And when I'm into all that gray,
D A
I'll make the morning last all day.
F#m A
see I've been down to New South Wales
Bm E (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
both my brothers've been in jail,
D A
Ah, but my sister - she got free
D A (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
Now she's across the great gray sea.
D A x 4 (loud)
D A
Now I've been hard, too hard to find,
D A
But there's no paranoia in my mind.
D A
There've been no comrades dropping dimes,
D A
It's just I'm working overtime.
F#m A
And I know that in the end,
Bm E (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
I'll come clean to all my friends.
D A
'Cause we all know we all have sinned,
D A (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
And we all know we're going to again.
Bm A
And when I was late in checking in,
D Bm (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
And I couldn't say where I'd been,
F#m A
Well, I bet you knew,
F#m A
'Cause you sometimes do,
F#m A E (2 3 4) Em (2 3 4) D A x4
And here we go 'round again...

D A
See, Molly always knows just what to bring,
D A
When Reb's in town, she always rings.
D A
You wanna know what Tommy has to say?
D A
Is Terry feeling better these days?
F#m A
You can ask - take a look,
Bm E (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
We're all pretty open books.
D A
What I stand for, I mostly stand behind,
D A (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
And what I am, I mostly can't hide.
Bm A
And when we were late in getting in,
D Bm (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
We couldn't say where we'd been.
F#m A
So maybe you knew,
F#m A
Like you sometimes do -
F#m A E Em
I've got no need to pretend.
Bm
Oh C.I.A.,
D F#m (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
Only you know what you've done.
Bm
Oh C.I.A.,
D D A x4 SOLO D A x4
Only you know what you've done.
F#m A
My father works from 6 to 8,
Bm E
And he ain't given up his faith,
D A
And so I haven't given up myself,
D A (2 3 4 1 2 3 4) D A x4 (no electric)
Though I sure could use a little help.
D A
Now it don't take the writing of a song,
D A
To tell you what I was doing in '01.
D A
Buy what I fear that I might never see,
D A (electric back)
Is where you were back in '73.
F#m A
And why Mal, he ain't around,
Bm E (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
Or if Everardo was ever found.
D A
Or why Frankie says that history's race is run,
D A (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
When we all know it's just erased by those who've won.
Bm A
And when I was late in weighing in,
D Bm (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
And I couldn't say where I'd been,
F#m A
And, you thought you knew,
F#m A
Like you sometimes do,
F#m A E (2 3 4) Em (2 3 4)
But you got it wrong again...
Bm D F#m (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
But C.I.A., Only you know what you've done
Bm D F#m (2 3 4 1 2 3 4)
Oh C.I.A., Only you know what you've done.
Bm D F#m
Oh C.I.A., Ha! Only you know what you've done.
Bm D D A REPEAT(D-->A)TO FADE
C.I.A Only you know what you've done. Only you know what you've done (call & respond)
