intro C Cadd9 

C           Cadd9 
Good life - privilege time 
C                Cadd9 
Nothing to cause doubt 
C               Cadd9 
A tinder inside finds a spark 
    Am       G 
And burns my senses out 

C           Cadd9 
Past life - once lived  
C                  Cadd9 
Finds its way back in 
C                Cadd9 
Butterflies make lousy pets 
     Am            G 
They nest under my skin 

C            Cadd9 
I’ll go away   
C            Cadd9 
Away 

C         Cadd9 
Fearing - nothing 
C             Cadd9 
Nothing is to fear 
C                  Cadd9 
A loss of faith in everyone 
     Am         G      
Your heart will disappear 

C       Cadd9 
Value - nothing 
C              Cadd9 
We don’t own a thing 
C                Cadd9 
Rich men say the poor will rise  
    Am             G 
And take back everything 


       G                C 
At the end of this long day 
          G                    C 
Will they look back with great shame ? 
      G          C 
Cause everyone’s insane 
Dm      F G   C    Cadd9 
Take me away 
C       Cadd9 
Away 

C                    Cadd9 
It’s the new black - education 
C                    Cadd9 
Taught with handheld fun 
C             Cadd9     
Breeding psycopathic men 
      Am          G 
For a psycopathic run 

C             Cadd9 
And a gale is blowing on the coast 
C                 Cadd9 
The city has been killed 
C             Cadd9 
Teenage riot, armed with phone  
       Am                 G 
It’s a taught and branded thrill
