GSo long as DI sing with inGflecAtion
DThat makes you Afeel that I’ll conBm7vey F#7
GSome inner Dtruth of vast reGflecAtion
DBut I’ve said Anothing so Bm7far F#7
GAnd I can keep Dit up as Glong as it Atakes
DAnd it don’t Amatter who you Bmare F#7
GIf I’m dDoing my job, it’s Gyour resolve that Abreaks
Because the Dhook Abrings you Bmback F#7

The Dhook Abrings you Bmback F#7
GOn tDhat you can relGy A
DThere is Asomething amBmiss F#7
GI am Dbeing insincGere A
DIn fact I Adon’t mean Bmany of this F#7
GStill my confDession draws you Gnear A
DTo confuse the iAssue I reBmfer F#7
GTo familiar hDeroes from Glong agoA
DNo matter how Amuch Peter lBmoved her F#7

DSuck it in, suck it in, suck it in
If you’re ARin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
BmMake a desperate move or else you’ll wF#7in
And then begin to Gsee what you’re doing to me
This DMTV is not for free
It’s sGo PC it’s killing me
So dAesperately I’ll sing to thee of
DLove, sure but aAlso rage and hate and pain
And Bmfear of self, and F#7I can’t keep these feelings on the
GShelf, I’ve tried, well, nDo in fact I’ve lied
Could bGe financial suicide but IA‘ve got too much pride inside to
DHide or slide, I’ll dAo as I’ll decide and
Let it rBmide until I’ve died
And only F#7then shall I abide
This tide of cGatchy little tunes
Or hDip three-minute ditties
I wanna Gbust all your balloons
I wanna Aburn all of your cities
To the gDround I’ve found
I wAill not mess around
Unless I Bmplay then hey
I F#7will go on all day
Hear what I Gsay, I have a prayer to pray
That’s rDeally all this was
And when I’m Gfeeling stuck and need a buck
I dAon’t rely on luck because
Was that the Dhook Abrings you Bmback F#7
GI ain’t Dtellin’ you no Glie A
The Dhoooooo ABmF#7
GOn tDhat you can relGy A
