NOTES:
-The whole song is played with bar chords, although A sounds fine open obviously. I
to match the timing to the lyrics.
-For the E chords play the bar chord, not the open.
-The bits in the chorus that go A A A E or A A E, try to slide up from the A to the E
you're playing an open A).
-The riff goes along with the words Peter sings, just follow them as you listen to get timing.

SONG:
E E A E E A C#
A A A E
C# C# B B B A
When all is gone, and things go wrong,
[Riff]
We don't need them anymore.
C#C#B B B A
The artifacts and all they lack,
[Riff]
We don't need them anymore.
E E A E E A C#
A A A E
C# C# B B B A
I don't have the means, and so it seems
[Riff]
For now I can't participate.
C# C# B
But I've waited long,
B B A
Now the dollar's strong again,
[Riff]
I still can't participate.
E E F#m C# A E
When we don't consume it seems we are immune
C# B
To all of the thoughts they sell,
B B F#m
You know as well as I, that's a lie...
E E E A E
E A
'Cause I want to spend, I want to spend,
C# C# C# A E
E A
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
E E E A E E
A
I want to spend, I want to spend,
C# C# C# A A
A E
In a never-ending story, but it always ends.
C# C# B B B A
And when I die, the angels will try
[Riff]
To count all my belongings.
C# C# B B B A
To measure my worth, pure gold, solid dirt,
[Riff]
To see if I'm worth keeping.
