N.C. = No chord played
in the Pre-chorus, the bass line plays D E F. If you can include the E as a passing bass note it sounds
better, but it isn't a chord in itself.
[Intro]
C G Am F (x3)
Am G F
[Verse 1]
N.C. C
It's like a bad dream
G F
When I'm walking back from the polling station
Am G F
Knowing that it's all downhill from here
[Verse 2]
N.C. C
It's like a bad dream
G
When I see the mess
F
That the bastards made of the NHS
Am G F
It brings me close to tears.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm E F
And we try
Dm E F Fsus2
To look on the bright side.
[Chorus]
C G
But to our teachers and our parents
Am F
Can't you hear us say
C G
We know that Tony broke your hearts
Am F
So why'd you let him stay?
C G
And now we're picking through the ruins
Am F
Of a better day
Am G F
Just looking for whatever's left.
Am G F
Just looking for whatever's left.
C G Am F (x3)
Am G F
[Verse 3]
N.C C
It's like a bad dream
G
When I see that guy
F
With the poison words and the purple tie
Am G F
On the news every night.
[Verse 4]
N.C C
It's like a bad dream
G
No one my age
F
Can find the words
For a living wage
Am G F
But still the prices rise.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm E F
And we try
Dm E F Fsus2
To look on the bright side.
[Chorus]
C G
Oh to my teachers and my parents
Am F
Can't you hear me say
C G
I know that Tony broke your hearts
Am F
So why'd you let him stay?
C G
And now we're picking through the ruins
Am F
Of a better day
Am G F
Just looking for whatever's left.
[Verse 5]
C G Am F
Oh, I'm sick of being told that I don't understand
C G Am F
By people who are selling me Ed Miliband
C G Am F
Oh, but I don't believe the answer here is Russell Brand
Am G F
To the question of whatever's left.

C G Am F
And so I'm going down the only hopeful road I've seen
C G Am F
I'm trying to find something working in a broken machine
C G Am F
And if the only red politics I see are green
Am G F
Well then, I'm looking for whatever's left.
Am G F
Oh yeah, we're looking for whatever's left.
