[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
In a daggers-drawn debate
E
You get caught in the crossfire of words
A
Aimed at getting you to sing for your life
E
Though you know it's absurd
[Verse 2]
F#m
And you're limited to one glass of wine
C#m
When your heart's set on thirds
F#m
And you're led to the river of sighs
C#m
To get fed to the birds
[Chorus]
B
While children stare
B
'Cause you're loveless
A
And the world don't care
[Verse 3]
A
Any time is the right time to go
E
If you've finished your act
A
And when the camera pans the man
E
With the gun in a suicide pact
[Verse 4]
F#m
Though you've been learning to survive
C#m
With your dignity and memories intact
F#m
'Cause it's easier to die in your sleep
C#m
When the city's been sacked
[Chorus]
B
You're over there
B
And you're loveless
A
And the world don't care
[Verse 5]
A
When you're naked in the sun
E
And your neighbours start to gossip and sneer
A
And your sponsors want more
E
Forgetting any more could end your career
[Verse 6]
F#m
Then some nurse who's been cursed
C#m
With a grin that can stab like a spear
F#m
Tells you nothing's gonna save you from your past
C#m
You're expected to cheer
[Chorus]
B
For a dare
B
But you're loveless
A
And the world don't care
[Solo]
A E A E
F#m C#m F#m C#m
B A
[Verse 7]
A
So you find you're a voice
E
In the ranks of a funeral choir
A
And your parasite friends
E
From the past make a dash for the wire
[Verse 8]
F#m
And your debt's long enough
C#m
To be wrapped 'round an Anglican spire
F#m
Mean you're so full of hope for the future
C#m
Your libido's on fire
[Chorus]
B
It isn't fair
B
When you're loveless
A
And the world don't care
