Em           A
This England made me,
D                          Bm
Between a war and a rocket span,
Em                     A
You've found a crib it saves me,
D                       Bm
And teach me wrong and right,
Em                A
And the world was talking,
D                        Bm
Never got it's chance to say,
Em                    A
When there's too much talking,
D                       Bm
Nobody hears a word you say

Em        A
You won't see,
D                   Bm
So baby now I won't hear,

Em                A
It's blind communications,
D                         Bm
Only lasts throughout the year,
Em                     A
And half of what we're saying,
D                  Bm
Is half-way to the truth,
Em                A
It's blind communications,
D                       Bm
For a million heart and fools

Em       A
I am a witness,
D                      Bm
To a land of a million fools,
Em          A
All placing bets on life,
D                     Bm
And hate the ones you lose,
Em              A
And all who're lonely,
D                       Bm
Never get the chance to say,
Em                    A
The fact that one and only,
D                          B
Will be the chance to even play

Chorus

Em        A
You won't see,
D                   Bm
So baby now I won't hear,
Em                A
It's blind communications,
D                         Bm
Only lasts throughout the year,
Em                      A
And half of what we're saying,
D                  Bm
Is half-way to the truth,
Em                A
It's blind communications,
D                       Bm
For a million heart and fools


Em    A
Hello monday,
D                    Bm
The weekend's just a blur,
Em                A
I've been burning bridges,
D                           Bm
and now I'm begging at your door,
Em         A
So keep on working,
D                           Bm
Cos it's a chance for me to play,
Em                   A
Cos there's too much talking,
D                            Bm
When you believe the words I say
