Bb Ab Eb
[Verse 1]
Bb Gm Eb
Who am I to say if I’m blind to see?
Bb Ab Eb
Hidden in the water was the memory
Bb Gm Eb
England’s pleasant dreaming is a lesson in deceiving
Bb
With no empathy
Ab Eb
Just a fallen tree
[Chorus]
F F/D
So are we turning corners
Eb Eb/D
Or counting down the hours
F F/D
And if we’re throwing sticks and stones
Ab
Is it from ivory towers?
F F/D
Is it just a fable
Eb Eb/D
We’re singing to the masses?
Cm
Or are we burning bridges
Ab
In temple tudor castles
[Verse 2]
Bb Gm Eb
How am I to feel when the winter comes?
Bb Ab Eb
Skating on the thin ice of the deeds we’ve done
Bb Gm Eb
England’s pleasant dreaming, a Jerusalem worth keeping
Bb
In parenthesis
Ab Eb
If you’re ill at ease
[Chorus]
F F/D
So are we turning corners
Eb Eb/D
Or counting down the hours
F F/D
And if we’re throwing sticks and stones
Ab
Is it from ivory towers?
F F/D
Is it just a fable
Eb Eb/D
We’re singing to the masses?
Cm
Or are we burning bridges
Ab
In temple tudor castles
[Bridge]
Bb F
And hey, you said yourself
Cm D
There is dignity in breaking down the rules
F Bb
And what have we become?
Cm
Nothing but sailors on the ship of fools
[Interlude]
Bb Gm Eb
Bb Ab Eb
Bb Gm Eb
Bb Ab Eb
[Chorus]
F F/D
So are we turning corners
Eb Eb/D
Or counting down the hours
F F/D
And if we’re throwing sticks and stones
Ab
Is it from ivory towers?
F F/D
Is it just a fable
Eb Eb/D
We’re singing to the masses?
Cm
Or are we burning bridges
Ab
In temple tudor castles
[Outro]
