[C][D]

[Verse 1]
Some[Em]body
told me that I [D]always have [C]to [D]bow
If [Em]that was true I would have
[D]fallen apart [C]by [D]now
[Em]The more you think, the
[D]less you act [C]their ways
[D]So can you hea[Em]r this, the fake sou[Bm]nd of [C]progre[Em]ss[F#m][F#]
[C][D]

[C][D][Em][F#m][C][D][Em]

[Verse 2]
Never reason with [D]a fool,
[C]but[D] is [Em]that unkind,
Looks like [C]I lost my mind [D]once again
[Em]I know it all sounds so cont[D]rive[C]d,
[D]but[C] its got to [Em]me
You know I've got [C]to be more than this

[Verse 3]
[Em]Don't frown, don't scorn,
[C]cus I walk a dif[D]ferent street to you
[Em]You look so worn,
[C]I bet that lif[D]e is has got you blo[Em]wn[D]
But [C]it will [D]never [Em]get [D]to mee[C][D]
Some[Em]body told me that
I [F#m]always have [C]to bow
[D]If

[Verse 4]
[Em]that was true I would have
[F#m]fallen apart [C]by [D]now
The [Em]more you think,
the [F#m]less you act t[C]heir ways
[D]So can you[Em] hear this,
[F#]the fake sound o[C]f pro [D]gr[Em]ess
And I feel the way [D]you hold[C] ,
hold [Em]me back from this

[Verse 5]
Chances [C]that I've missed,
[D]now their [Em]gone
Apathy is all I [D]sense,
[C]the fee[D]lings too[Em] intense
Sitting [C]on a fence and can't decide
[Em]Don't frown, don't scorn,
[C]cus I walk a dif[D]ferent street to you

[Verse 6]
[Em]You look so worn,
[C]I bet that lif[D]e is has got you blo[Em]wn[D]
No body [C]will [D]eve[Em]r get[D] to me[C][D]
Some[Em]body told me that
I [F#m]always have [C]to bow
[D]If [Em]that was true I would have
[F#m]fallen apart [C]by [D]now

[Verse 7]
The [Em]more you think,
the [F#m]less you act t[C]heir ways
[D]So can you[Em] hear this,
[F#]the fake sound o[C]f progress
[D][Em][C][Em][C]

[Verse 8]
[Em]All these words that I accounted for,
[D]never fear [Em]an ot[D]her day
[Em]Always charged but I need more,
make me take away
Tell me now, can you hear the sound
Of [D]all these people falling down

[Verse 9]
[Em]Growing back into the ground let
me smile [D]again...[C][Am][G]
[Em]Smile

[Verse 10]
[D]Tell me now can you[C] hear the sound,
of the record spinning
Round [Am]and round,
[G]for on and on it sounds like the same [Em]old
Song that [F#m]I keep singing,
[C]it [D]sou[Em]nds [F#m]like

[Verse 11]
Dah [C]dah dah dah (yeahyeah sounds
like) [D]dah dah dah dah
[Em](all these words that I ac c[F#m]ounted[D] for[C],
I'll nev[D]er fear [Em]an o[F#m]ther d[Em]ay)[D]

[Verse 12]
[Em]Somebody told me that [F#m]I
always have [C]to [D]bow
If [Em]that was true I would have
[F#m]fallen apart [C]by [D]now
The [Em]more you think,
the [F#m]less you act t[C]heir ways
[D]So can [Em]you hear this,
