E                      A       Asus4  A  E         A       Asus4  A

E                      A       Asus4  A  E         A       Asus4  A
don't come 'round here looking for my prayers
    A                  D
you spent the eighties in a trance
         E               A
yeah you led us all on a merry dance
         A               D A     E     A       Asus4  A  E         A       Asus4  A

[Verse 2]

E               A   Asus4 A   E           A       Asus4  A
you were always advocating power games
E               A     Asus4 A  E          A       Asus4  A
you were always gonna be a star
    A                D
you made your money, had your fun
       E           A
made a video 'bout how it's done
      A            D A E
ain't put it in my V C R
   A
so far


[Pre-Chorus]

F#m         E    A    D
dreams fall into disrepair
          E             B
there's a change in the air
     D
your lies
     A        B     E     A       Asus4  A  E         A       Asus4  A
will lead you to despair

don't bother me - I don't give a damn
Em           Dm
don't bother me

[Verse 3]
E               A   Asus4 A   E           A       Asus4  A
well no amount of liquor, babe, can drown the blues today
E               A   Asus4 A   E           A       Asus4  A
no amount of pills can ease the pain
         A                     D
when the body electric and the vision thing
          E                 A
is all it takes to make the people sing
      A                 D      A  E
let's hope we don't get fooled a..gain
   A
my friend

          E             B
there's a change in the air
          D        A        B
there's a girl who says she cares
        D
and her love
     A         B            E     A       Asus4  A  E         A       Asus4  A
