Verse
F#m E A D
We have nothing to lose but our chains, I feel,
F#m E A D
an endless train of cash boxes and heavy purses wrought in steel.
F#m E A D
Like Jacob Marley dragging his I'm a weary captive, bound.
F#m E A D
Mine tie me to a student loan and every rare LP I've ever found.
E F#m
I'm just another naive prole, with revolution of the mind,
Fm D
but I'd fight a line of riot police if it'd help to clear the sky.
A E Bm
I'm not looking for an answer, to some big scary question.
D A
A missing link to clarify it all.
E
We take each second as it comes
Bm
and every now and then some light shines down on us.
D
Enjoy those moments in the sun.

F#m E A D
We know Marley died a rich but lonely man and yet,
F#m E A D
it's a very simple lesson we keep learning to forget,
F#m E A D
a Dickensian analogy spun out into a song,
F#m E A D
Melancholia and Marxism, this must be where I belong.
E
I'm just another lonesome fool,
F#m
with revolution on the brain,
Fm D
but I'd bomb the royal bank if it'd blow the clouds away.
A E Bm
I'm not looking for an answer, to some big scary question.

Bridge
F#m E A D x2
D
I built a shield to block the sky,
D
swathed in shade I shut my eyes,
D F#m
I wish that I had tried to take my own advice.
Fm A D
Look up and let yourself be blinded
D F#m
I wish that I had tried to take my own advice.
Fm A D
Look up and let yourself be blinded
D F#m
I wish that I had tried to take my own advice.
Fm A D
Look up and let yourself be blinded
D F#m
I wish that I had tried to take my own advice.
