[Verse 1]

C                                 F
  There's always something left inside here
C                             F
  I've really nothing much to lose
D             G
  It seems so sentimental
D              G
  Why should I care?

  Somewhere there's a sound of distant living
C                     F
  Welcome in high society
D              G
  It seems so artificial
D              G
  Why should I care?

C                           F
  Another vehicle heads for sunset
C                     F
  No other providence will do
D              G
  They're only buildings and houses
D              G
  Why should I care?
