Living On A Thin Line

Biography:

The Kinks (1963–1996; 2018-present) is an English pop-rock group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s. Formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray Davies and Dave Davies in 1964 and categorised in the United States as a "British Invasion" band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. In 1990, their first year of eligibility, the original four members were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

LIVING ON A THIN LINE- The Kinks

D C G
All the stories we've been told of kings and days of old
D F C
But there's no England now (there's no England now)
D
All the wars that were won and lost
C G D F C
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore
D
All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told)
C G D F C
All the lives of the people running round and castles that burned
D C G D
Now I see change but inside we're the same as we ever were

D C G D
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
D C G D
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
D C G
Living on a thin line, living this way, each day's a dream
D
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
D C G D
Living on a thin line, oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?

C G D
Now another century nearly gone (gone, gone)
C G D
What are we gonna leave for the young?
C G D
What we couldn't do, or what we wouldn't do, disappoint but does it matter?
C G
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
D
Does it ever really matter? Yes, it really really matters!

Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?

F G Em
Then another (leave us cents), break their hearts and break some heads
G F Am
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Am G C
Blame the future on the past, always lost in bloody guts
D
And when they're gone it tears you

Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
D F C D
Living on a thin line oooohh

NOTE: I'm not sure of all the words, especially the "leave us cents" part.
