[Gm] [C] [F]
Sometimes you dream, [C]
sometimes it seems
There's nothing there at [F] all
[C] [Dm] You just seem older [Am] than yesterday
And [Bb] you're waiting for tomorrow to [C]
call
You [F] draw to the curtains [C] and one thing's for certain
Your kettle's heating in your bedroom
[F]
The [Dm]
coffins are paid for, God [Am]
bless the TV
Let [Bb] the gun shoot a hole [F] in [C] the moon
Oh, and [F] the writers is [G]
writing tonight
[Bb]
Returning to our silver [F]
screens
Comic [C]
book characters [F]
never grow [Bb] old
Never been a hero whose [G]
stories are [C] told
Oh, but [Dm]
Reggie McGowan, [Am] who sings out the planes
[Bb] For roundups and rustlers [G] and whole-mounder [C] writings
[F]
[C] [Bb]
[C] [Dm] Turn on the TV, [Am] shut out the lights

[F] o'clock mornings, [C] five o'clock evenings
[F] [C] I'd laugh in the face if [F] I could
[Am] [Dm] Oh, I'd rather have a hound eat [Am] my sandwich and cheese
[Bb] But complaining wouldn't do [C] any good
[F] Lay back in my armchair, [C] close eyes and think clear
I can hear [G] who beats [F] the head
[Dm] Roar and trigger, [Am] hell, but just hear the hilltop
[Bb] While the wife and the kids [C] are in bed
Oh, [F] and the writers is [G] writing tonight
[Bb] Returning to our [F] silver screens
[C] Comic book [F] characters never grow [Bb] old
Never been a hero [G] whose stories [C] are told
Oh, [Dm] but Reggie McGowan, [Am] who sings out the planes
[Bb] For roundups and rustlers [G] and whole [C]-mounder writings
[Dm] Turn on the TV, [Am]
