    A E                     A      E      A
        Been living in the city too long now
      E                     B7       E
        Even my lungs have started to groan
    A E               A           E       A
        Everybody is singing their own song
      E                 B7          E
        Sometimes I want  to sing alone


    E A               E
        Never been a prima donna
           A                            E          B7
        I never seem to want to be the one to complain
   B7 E                        A
        Enough's too much and now I'm a goner
        C#m                A              B7          E
        Stop the madness scene before it drives me insane


      A                   E
        Take me where the sun won't shine on me
      A                   E               B7
        Take me where my conscience won't go now
      E                    A
        Take me where the sun won't shine - on me
        C#m                A                 B7               E
        Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know
        C#m                A                 B7               E
        Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

    A E                       A         E        A
        Everyone around this town is so angry now
      E                              B7    E
        Blaring horns and swearing; shaking fists
    A E                      A           E     A
        If everybody in the world was a hit man

      E                               B7         E
        We'd wipe each other off each other's hit lists


    E A                  E
        Who wants to stand and be counted
           A                              E             B7    B7
        Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now
      E                         A
        I don't want to be the one to start the shouting
            C#m             A        B7         E
        I'm part of this society and I know my place


      A                   E
        Take me where the sun won't shine on me
      A                   E               B7
        Take me where my conscience won't go now
      E                    A
        Take me where the sun won't shine - on me
        C#m                A                 B7               E
        Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know
        C#m                A                 B7               E
        Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know


    A E
        Everything around this town is so boring

        Well nothing changes; Nothing doesn't stay the same
    A E
        Ten years when we had high ideals

        We couldn't wait to play the protest game


    E A                       E
        But now we have our thing together
    E A                                E      B7(sus4)
        Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts
      E                      A
        Who cares about the starving millions
         C#m        A               B7           E
        We're just happy that our cheques don't bounce


      A                   E
        Take me where the sun won't shine on me
      A                   E               B7
        Take me where my conscience won't go now
      E                    A
        Take me where the sun won't shine - on me
        C#m                A                 B7               E
        Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know
        C#m                A                 B7               E
        Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to ...
            C#m                A                 B7               E
        No, Don't tell me I'm backing out 'cause I don't want to know

    A E        A   E   A E     B7   E
    A E        A   E   A E     B7   E

Notes
~~~~~
1. I'm not too sure about the lyrics (thanks to Alan Pulliam for supplying
   them, BTW).  I had completely the wrong idea originally in a few places
   and I've listened carefully and made one or two minor changes to  them,
   but I'm still unsure of a few bits:

        Stop the madness scene before it drives me insane
                 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        Or anger every man until there's lines on your face, now
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                 ^especially this bit^

        Our brand new leathers, three bank accounts
                      ^^^^^^^^
                        Here, Alan reckons it's probably `Lotus'
