[Verse 1]
E                       Esus4    E7
 How many times must we tell the tale
Em7       E7sus4        Em11
 How many times must we fall
A7         A7sus4    A7sus2         E      E7 E7#9
 Living in lost memo-ry you just re-called

 Working on the sound of the band
Em7                      E7sus4 Em11
 Trying to get the music right
A7          A7sus4 A7sus2               E    E7#9 E
 Two go out working, three stay home at night

Pre-tending to un-der-stand

 Situations change
A7                            A7sus4    A7sus2   E      E7#9 E
 You're never who you used to think you are, how strange
