[F#]
[C#m] I conclude today that [F#] life is simply [B] taking and not [C#m] giving.
England is mine, [F#] it owes [B] me everything.
[E] But ask [C#m] me why and I'll spit in [F#] your [B] eye.
[E] Oh, [C#m] ask me why [A] and I'll spit [B] in your eye.
[E] [G#m] But we [E] cannot cling [A] to the old things [B] anymore.
No, [G#m] we [E] cannot cling to [A] those [E]
[B] dreams.
[C#m] Does the body rule the [F#m] mind?
Or [B] does the mind [E] rule the body?
I don't know.
[F#m] [B]
[E] Under the iron bridge [B] we [A]
kissed.
[B] And [C#m] although I ended up [F#] with sorrows.
[E] [G#m] It just [E] wasn't [B] like [A] those days [B] anymore.
[F#m] [G#] No, [E] it wasn't like those [B] days when [E] my soul [A] left.
[B]
Oh, oh, [G#m] oh.
[C#m] [D#m] [A] [E]
[B] For my [E] soul [A] left.
[B] Oh, [D#] [G#m] oh, oh.
[E]
[B] [C#m] Does the body rule the [F#m] mind?
Or [B] does the mind [C#m] rule the body?
I don't know.
[F#m] [B]
[E] [C#m] Ask me why and I'll [B] die.
[C#m] Oh, ask me why and [F#m] I'll [G#m] die.
This must go to the [E] tomorrow.
[B] [G#m] Well, if I were you [B] I wouldn't bother.
For [E] there are bright full sides to [A] love and [B] I should know.
[E] Because I've [G#m] seen them but [C#m] not for once.
[F#] [B]
[E] [C#m] Under the iron [F#m] bridge [B] we [E] kissed.
And although I ended up [F#m] with [B] sorrows.
[G#m] It just wasn't [A] like the old days [B] anymore.
[E] No, it wasn't like [A] [E] those [B] days when my [E] soul [A] [B] left.
Oh, oh, oh.
[G#m] [D#m] [A] For [B] my [E] soul [A] [B] left.
Oh, [F#m] [G#m] oh, oh.
