C#m
Time it tells, living in my hometown.
Wedding bells, they begin easy.
Live it down, Baby don't talk that much.
Baby knows, that Baby don't tease me.
E
In the park, we could go walking.
 A
Down in the dark, we could go sailing.
C#m
On the sea.

C#m
Always here, always on time, close call.
Was it love, or was it just easy?
Money talks, when people need shoes and socks.
Steady boys, I think that she needs me.
E                                 A
I was just sipping on something sweet.
                A
I don't need political process.

C#m
I got this feeling that they're
 G#m
gonna break down the door.
E
I got this feeling that they're
 F#m
gonna come back for more.
C#m                        G#m
See, I was thinking that I lost my mind,
E                          F#m
but it's been getting to me all this time
     G#
and don't stop dragging me down.

Chorus:
 E            B
Silently, reflection
C#m                 A
turns my world to stone.
 E             B
Patiently, correction
C#m             G#
leaves us all alone.
     A                B
And sometimes I'm a-travelling,
      C#m                  B  A   B
but tonight this engine's failing.

    C#m               A
And I still hear the children playing:

Kick the can, kick the can, skip and blackjack
Steal a car and ring a round-rosey
Rock and roll, candy land, boogeyman
Run away and give me your sneakers

Acid rain, when Abel looked up at Cain
We began the weeping and wailing
A hurried high from pestilence, pills and pride
It's a shame, we could've gone sailing
But heaven knows
Heaven knows everything
Tranquilize

I got this feeling that they're
going to break down the door
I got this feeling they they're
going to come back for more
See I was thinking that I lost my mind
But it's been getting to me all this time
And it don't stop dragging me down

Chorus

   C#m                 A
And I still hear the children playing.
 B                 F#m              E
Dead beat dancers, come to us and stay.

        B                   C#m
'Cos I don't care where you been
       B                    E
and I don't care what you seen.
          C#m               A
We're the ones who still believe
           B             E
and we're looking for a page
         B                C#m
in that lifeless book of hope,
        B                    E
where dreams might help you cope.
          C#m             A
Where the bushes and the bombs,
   B            E
oh-oh, tranquillise.
