[Verse 1]
D Em G Gm
All the latest toughs, you've got to shrug them off or shut them off
D Em G Gm

A G D Em G A
because if you're dying to be led they'll lead you up the hill in chains to their popular refrains
Bm Em G

A D
the knife out of their hands
[Verse 2]
D Em G Gm
Well, I woke up on a foggy morning. Hiding from the sun, he was hiding from the sun
D Em G Gm
But it came out and it shot its rays down. Burning everyone, it was burning everyone
A G D Em G
But they were dying, anyway, to turn to ash, to feel their feelings flash and finally fade away
Gm
In a fabulous and fiery display
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Em G
Look, though, I don't know what notes you want to hear played
D A Em G
I can't think what lines you'd like me to sing or say, and I'm not sure what subjects you want mentioned
D A Em G

D A
let's pause and add our own intentions, right now
Em G D A x2
Em Gm
You were hiding from the sun
[Verse 4]
D Em G
All the latest toughs, well, we have seen that stuff
Gm D Em G
And we have seen enough blood in dying coughs, which means that we have lost
Gm A G D Em G
We have lost, and if you're crying to be tossed they'll toss you down the oubliette with all the old things
A Bm E G A
that You let yourself forget because you'd like to love a star who'd throw you down below the ground
D
he thinks you are
