Eb    Eb/D       Cm                       G#      Fm

I suppose you're entitled to know why I'm making contacts

G#                 Eb                     Fm  Bbsus Bb

With acquaintances scattered all over the land

Eb         Eb/D Cm                      G#         Fm

I'd promise you  now and again that I'd honor the contract

G#            Eb                 Fm Bbsus Bb

If it hadn't crumbled away in my hand

G#                 Bb   Fm           Bb

Well we broke that vow independently now

F                Cm  G#       G#/G  Fm

But I don't know why you absolutely deny

Eb  Eb/D Cm Bb         G#  Bb

You bowed down         you bowed down

Eb  Eb/D Cm Bb         G#  Bb

You bowed down         you bowed down

Eb       Eb/D         Cm                      G#       Fm

When you first looked away I might say it was really a kindness

G#           Eb                     Fm  Bbsus Bb

It must have hurt to see how dreams sour

Eb       Eb/D     Cm                       G#            Fm

Now they say that justice and love are the next thing to blindnesss

G#                  Eb                    Fm   Bbsus Bb

Well you're getting plenty of both of them now

G#         Bb      Fm                      Bb

And so you parade  where appointments are made

F                     Cm   G#     G#/G Fm

And never meant to be kept unless you  accept

Eb  Eb/D Cm Bb         G#  Bb

You bowed down         you bowed down

Eb  Eb/D Cm Bb         G#  Bb

You bowed down         you bowed down

G#               Bb                     G#

You'll value the burnt amber of falling leaves

Bb

And you'll long to delay

G#                 Bb

You'll  feel their breath as they whisper

G#

It won't hurt you to betray

Eb  Eb/D Cm  Bb       G#       Bb

If you just bow down         just bow down

Eb  Eb/D Cm  Bb       G#       Bb

Just bow down         just bow down

Eb     Eb/D   Cm                       G#      Fm

And now every time that we meet on the edge of hysteria

G#                   Eb                      Fm  Bbsus Bb

You're helping them  sell off some new party line

Eb       Eb/D Cm                       G#       Fm

I remember a time when you would have seemed so superior

G#                   Eb                              Fm Bbsus Bb

Now you say will you please meet this good friend of mine

G#         Bb         Fm                       Bb

So your in demand as long as you'll kiss their hand

F           Cm       G#           G#/G      Fm

But all the applause is for their name  not yours

Eb  Eb/D Cm Bb         G#  Bb

You bowed down         you bowed down

Eb  Eb/D Cm Bb         G#  Bb

You bowed down         you bowed down
