The recorded version features two guitars, one which plays the riff and mainly high inversions of chords.
If playing alone then the first group of chords are a good compromise - if you have two guitarists then one
can play the riff and use the second set of chords and the other can play standard barre chords/power chords
to fill out the sound - The chords in the brass instrumental part are played A barre shaped decending down
from the 7th fret to the 2nd fret B chord then A 5th fret B 7th fret and finishes on E 7th fret A shape.

[Intro]
N.C.
(Spoken over Riff) As I lie here thinking of you, I realise that nothing is new

[Verse]
E               Am               E         Am
Lying in my bed thinking of you, I realize nothing is new
E                   Am                E                  Am
You say you love me but want success, I say you're lying, nothing has changed

[Chorus]
E                             B                      C#m                            A
This is the sign of the times, Piece of more to come, This is the sign of the times, Time to be alone
E                             B                      C#m                            A
This is the sign of the times, Piece of more to come, This is the sign of the times, Time to be alone

[Verse]
E                    Am                   E                    Am
We're strong in bed, You're weak in love, You give me nothing, More than a shove
E                Am               E             Am
I walk alone now thinking of you, I realize now nothing is new

[Chorus]
E                             B                      C#m                            A
This is the sign of the times, Piece of more to come, This is the sign of the times, Time to be alone
E                             B                      C#m                            A
This is the sign of the times, Piece of more to come, This is the sign of the times, Time to be alone (Riff)

N.C.
(SPOKEN OVER RIFF)  Why do we go on with this useless love-affair?
N.C.
When it seems to me that you don't really care, I realize now nothing is new, Time to live my life without you

[Verse]
E               Am                   E                   Am
I sit alone now wondering about you, I'm living my life, what do you do?
E                   Am                E                     Am
You say you want me but need success, I want your love boy, want nothing less

[Chorus]
E                             B                      C#m                            A
This is the sign of the times, Piece of more to come, This is the sign of the times, Time to be alone
E                             B                      C#m                            A
This is the sign of the times, Piece of more to come, This is the sign of the times, Time to be alone (Riff)
E                             B                      C#m                            A
This is the sign of the times, Piece of more to come, This is the sign of the times, Time to be alone
E                             B                      C#m                            A
This is the sign of the times, Piece of more to come, This is the sign of the times, Time to be alone (Fade)
