-VERSE-
Riff 1
Parents don't be too kind to your kids
Riff 1
Or else how will they grow up to be
Riff 3
Last Parisian sinners and astral country singers
Riff 1
Singing about the terrible things their parents did
Riff 2
Lovers dont be sparing with the truth
Riff 1
Break their hearts if that's what you must do
Riff 1
Fill them with remorse tinged with hope of course
Riff 1 E riff
Let their basal instincts pull them through
-CHORUS-
E7 Gsus2 E riff
And though it seems a little strange to me
People never really change it seems
-VERSE-

All across America

A7 riff D Dsus2/G A7 riff
Waitresses and boys who play guitar

And the girls go drown their sorrows in the bars

Wonder how the air tastes when you're really free
-CHORUS-
E7 Gsus2 E riff
And though it seems a little strange to me

Well you can never really change it seems
E7 Gsus2 E riff
All you broken boys and girls take heart
Come together, fall apart
-POWER VERSE-
D5~ A7 riff
And in Battersea power station the Fisher King
D5~ A7 riff
Ponders on his pride among many other things
D5~
Folds his broken hands
D5~
Surveys his baron lands
D5~ D5~ D5
And prays for hope to whisper in the wind
-BRIDGE-
Cause we go on without meaning
We'll die without reason
And the world still goes on
Pass without passing
You can try and try and try
