            E                         A
You had the office before you had the business
          B                         A
You had a ring before you found the girl
           E                      C#m          B
If it were up to you would she be suffering still
        E              A
Now you say your arms ache 
         B              A
from the weight of your mistakes
           E                      C#m
You're the keeper of the doomsday clock 
               B
Did I get that wrong?

Little darling, I try
      A                   E
Oh at least I look on the bright side

I'll break it to you gently
A               E    B
Break it to you gently

           E         A
With their 45s from 82 
        B                              A
and the looks that say I'm cooler than you
        E                  C#m             B
Oh They hide behind boxing fists and arrogance
      E                            A
I got nothing, nothing, nothing to say
          B                  A
About the way you spend your day
              E
You rest your head on your hands.
          C#m            B
would you let it slip away?
