Biography:
Cardiacs, originally called Cardiac Arrest, was an English band formed in 1977 and led by Tim Smith (1961-2020). Noted for their complex, varied and intense compositional style and for their eccentric, theatrical stage shows, they have been hailed as an influence by many newer groups and artists.
As well as Smith, around 23 musicians were part of the Cardiacs over the years, including Smith's brother, Jim, and multi-instrumentalist, Sarah Cutts, who married Tim Smith in 1983.

C#m A B E F#m G#sus4
i know i cant see eye to eye no more
G# A E A
i agree with the way it should be
G#m A E F#m A
and the life that was chosen for me
B C# B A
i know things are never really changing
B C# Eb C#m
and the people always ask me
[Verse 2]
C#m A B
why can't i speak my mind
E F#m G#sus4

in heaven everything is fine
*Not sure what this line is - anybody?
