[Dbm]
Verse 1:
[Dbm] Time it tells, [Dbm]living in my home[Dbm]hometown.
Wedding bells, [Dbm]they begin easy.
[Dbm] Live it down, [Dbm]Baby don't talk that [Dbm]much.
Baby knows, that [Dbm]Baby don't tease me.
[E] In the park, [E]we could go walking.

[Dbm] On the sea. [Dbm]

[Dbm] Always here, [Dbm]always on time, close [Dbm]call.

Steady boys, I [Dbm]think that she needs me.
[E]I was just [E]sipping on something [A]sweet.

[Dbm] See, I was thinking that I [Abm]lost my mind,
[E] but it's been getting to me [Gbm]all this time
and [Ab]don't stop [Ab]dragging me down.
Chorus 1:
[E]Silently, ref[B]reflection
[Dbm]turns my world to [A]stone.
[E]Patiently, cor[B]correction
[Dbm]leaves us all a[Ab]alone.
And [A]sometimes I'm a-[B]a-travelling,
but ton[Dbm]tonight this engine's [B]fail[A]failing.
Interlude:
[B]
And [Dbm]I still hear the [A]children playing:

“Steal a car, and [Dbm]Ring-Around-Rosie.”
[Dbm] “Rock 'n' Roll, [Dbm]Candyland, Bogeyman.”
[Dbm] “Run away, and [Dbm]give me your sneakers.”
[Dbm] Acid rain, when [Dbm]G#el looked up at [Dbm]Cain.
We began, [Dbm]weeping and wailing.
[Dbm] Hurry high from [Dbm]pestilence, pills and [Dbm]pride.
It's a shame, we [Dbm]could've gone sailing.
[E] But heaven knows, [E]heaven knows every[A]everything.
Tranquillise. [A]
Pre-Chorus 2:
[Dbm] I got this feeling that
they're [Abm]gonna break down the door.
[E] I got this feeling that they're [Gbm]gonna come back for more.
[Dbm] See, I was thinking that I [Abm]lost my mind,
[E] but it's been getting to me [Gbm]all this time
and [Ab]don't stop [Ab]dragging me down.
Chorus 2:
[E]Silently, ref[B]reflection
[Dbm]turns my world to [A]stone.
[E]Patiently, cor[B]correction
[Dbm]leaves us all a[Ab]alone.
And [A]sometimes I'm a-[B]a-travelling,
but ton[Dbm]tonight this engine's [B]fail[A]failing.
Interlude:
[B]
And [Dbm]I still hear the [A]children playing.
[B]Dead beat dancers, [Gbm]come to us and [E]stay.
Outro:
'Cos I [B]don't care where you [Dbm]been
and I [B]don't care what you [E]seen.
We're the [Dbm]ones who still bel[A]believe
and we're [B]looking for a [E]page
in that [B]lifeless book of [Dbm]hope,
where [B]dreams might help you [E]cope.
Where the [Dbm]bushes and the [A]bombs,
oh-[B]oh-oh, tranquill[E]tranquillise.
