VERSE:
Bm A G EmDoctor Doctor what is wrong with me
- Bm A G Em
This supermarket life is getting long
Bm A G Em What is the heart life of a colour TV
Bm A G Em CWhat is the shelf life of a teenage queen
D Dsus2 D GOoh Western woman
- D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western girl
- Bm
New hounds sniff the air
A G Em When Jessica Hahn goes down
Bm A G EmHe latches onto that symbol of detachment
- Bm A G Em
attracted by the peeling away of feeling
Bm A G Em C The celebrity of the abused shell the belle
D Dsus2 D GOoh Western woman
D Dsus2 D GOoh Western girl
D Dsus2 D GOoh Western woman
- D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western girl
- D
And the children of Melrose
D Dsus2 Strut their stuff
GIs absolute zero cold enough
- D Dsus2 D
And out in the valley warm and clean
G The little ones sit by their TV screens
D Dsus2 DNo thoughts to think
- G
No tears to cry
G A Bm All sucked dry
A GDown to the very last breath
- Em A
Bartender what is wrong with me?
Em A Why am I so out of breath?
Em AThe captain said excuse me ma'am
- Em A
This species has amused itself to death
(intro notes comes in full force)
D Dsus2 D GAmused itself to death
D Dsus2 D GAmused itself to death
- D Dsus2 D G
We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
DWe bought and sold
- Dsus2 D G
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
Dwe ohhed and aahed
- Dsus2 D
we drove our racing cars
G We ate our last few jars of cavier
DAnd somewhere out there in the stars
- Dsus2 D
A keen-eyed look-out
G Spied a flickering light
DOur last hurrah
- G
Our last hurrah
- Em A
And when they found our shadows
Em A Grouped around the TV sets
Em AThey ran down every lead
- Em A
They repeated every test
Bm G They checked out all the data on their lists
BmAnd then the alien anthropologists
- G Em
Admitted they were still perplexed
D But on eliminating every other reason
Dsus2 D GFor our sad demise
- D Dsus2 D G
They logged the explanation left
G Bm This species has amused itself to death
Bm A G Em- Bm A G Em
repeat and fade
