When I get in to the bottom of it I sink
A# Cm G#
Seems like nothing I said ever meant anything
D# A# Cm G#
But a headline over my head, thought I made a stand
A# Cm G#
Only made a scene there's no feast for the underfed
D# A# Cm G#
All the unknown, dying or dead keep showing up in my dreams
D# A# Cm G#
They stand at the end of my bed; have I ever really helped
D# A#
anybody but myself
Cm G#
To believe in the power of songs,
D# A#
To believe in the power of girls
Cm G#
Though the point we're making is gone
D# A#
Play it stripped down to my bone
Cm G#
I'll shut up and carry on
D# A#
scream becomes a yawn
x6
Cm G#
Our parents daughters and sons
A#
Believed in the power of songs
Cm G#
What if those days are gone?
A#
My memory is strong
Cm G#
Anyone not dying is dead
A#
And baby it won't be long
Cm G#
So shut up and carry on
D# A#
scream becomes a yawn
Cm G#
I'll shut up and carry on
D# A#
scream becomes a yawn

Baby wherever you are, baby whatever you do

Faster than you think, time staggers on
