(Intro) Em Bm4 Em Bm4 Em Bm4 When I began I was full of altruistic dreams, Em Bm4 believed in princes and princesses, kings and queens - C Bm now I find they're all human inside, Am all bitterness and pride, Em so why shouldn't I be like that too? Eb F It seems that I've forgotten all I tried so hard to learn; Am (a g f# e d) it seems there's not an ounce of love or (a g f# e d) C#m4 trust anywhere in the world. (a g f# e d) C#m4 (a g f# e d) C#m4 (a g f# f# g) Em Bm4 Friends - they're all harbouring knives Em Bm4 to embed in your back out of revenge, or spite, C Bm or indifference, or lack of other things to do - Am Em in the end just who's going to be a friend for you Eb F when they kick you in the guts just as your hand holds out the [pearl? Am It seems that there is nothing left but (a g f# e d) C#m4 hatred and lust in the world. (a g f# e d) C#m4 (a g f# e d) C#m4 (a g f# f# g) Em Bm4 I don't give a damn anymore - I've only wound up betrayed. Em It's all been absolutely worthless - Bm4 C all the efforts I've made to be gentle and kind Bm are repaid with contempt, Am degraded by sympathy and worthless kindness Em and love that isn't meant. Eb F I'm through with joy and company, I've done with pretty words, Am betrayed - there's no hiding-place (a g f# e d) C#m4 anywhere in the world. Eb F I've nothing left to fight for except making my passion heard Am I don't believe in anything (a g f# e d) C#m4 anywhere in the world (a g f# e d) C#m4 anywhere in the world (a g f# e d) C#m4 anywhere in the world (a g f# e d) C#m4 anywhere in the world (a g f# f# g) Em Bm4 Em Bm4 Em Bm4
