[Verse]
A#
I turn the television on
D#
To hear those songbirds carry on
A#
I tune into that drab recital
D#
They'd claimed I'd find a brand new idol
F D#
It felt like something good was dying
A#
Oh, something good was dying
D# - A#
D# - A#
[Verse]
A#
She sang a ledgendary song
D#
With something desperately wrong
Gm
There were fourteen-thousand notes inside
D#
A space where four plain notes should reside
F D# A#
It felt like mastur~bation on the TV station
A# - D#
A# - D#
F A# D#
Oh, it felt like something good was dying
A#
Oh, something good was dying

[Verse]
A#
Asked about the music she was raised upon
D#
Was it Paul, George, Ringo Starr, and John?
Gm
With her mini-skirt and her bashful eyes
D#
Claimed she'd never heard of those four guys
F A# D#
She'd been singin', "Hey Jude don't make it bad."
A#
And now my whole world was sad.

Oh, something good was...
Gm - D# - F - D#

[Verse]
A#
So I jumped into my car to drive
D#
I flicked the radio alive
Gm
And I heard another shallow song
D#
I turned the dial, that same song was on
F A# D#
Every station; It felt like indoctrination
A#
Like no one's even trying
A# - D# Cm
A# - D# Cm
F D# Gm
Oh, it felt like something good was dy~ing
