VERSE:
Bm A G Em
Doctor Doctor what is wrong with me
Bm A G Em
This supermarket life is getting long
Bm A G Em
What is the heart life of a colour TV
Bm A G Em C
What is the shelf life of a teenage queen
D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western woman
D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western girl
Bm
New hounds sniff the air
A G Em
When Jessica Hahn goes down
Bm A G Em
He latches onto that symbol of detachment
Bm A G Em
attracted by the peeling away of feeling
Bm A G Em C
The celebrity of the abused shell the belle
D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western woman
D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western girl
D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western woman
D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western girl
D
And the children of Melrose
D Dsus2
Strut their stuff
G
Is absolute zero cold enough
D Dsus2 D
And out in the valley warm and clean
G
The little ones sit by their TV screens
D Dsus2 D
No thoughts to think
G
No tears to cry
G A Bm
All sucked dry
A G
Down to the very last breath
Em A
Bartender what is wrong with me?
Em A
Why am I so out of breath?
Em A
The captain said excuse me ma'am
Em A
This species has amused itself to death
(intro notes comes in full force)
D Dsus2 D G
Amused itself to death
D Dsus2 D G
Amused itself to death
D Dsus2 D G
We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
D
We bought and sold
Dsus2 D G
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
D
we ohhed and aahed
Dsus2 D
we drove our racing cars
G
We ate our last few jars of cavier
D
And somewhere out there in the stars
Dsus2 D
A keen-eyed look-out
G
Spied a flickering light
D
Our last hurrah
G
Our last hurrah
Em A
And when they found our shadows
Em A
Grouped around the TV sets
Em A
They ran down every lead
Em A
They repeated every test
Bm G
They checked out all the data on their lists
Bm
And then the alien anthropologists
G Em
Admitted they were still perplexed
D
But on eliminating every other reason
Dsus2 D G
For our sad demise
D Dsus2 D G
They logged the explanation left
G Bm
This species has amused itself to death
Bm A G Em
Bm A G Em
repeat and fade
