[Intro]
Stratch the chord G (listen to song for rhythm)

[Verse 1]
     Am             F              G
I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving
           Am   F             G
England is mine, it owes me a living
           Am           F                G
But ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
   Am              F               G
Oh ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
     Em       Am            F            G
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
   Em         Am            F          G
No we cannot cling to those dreams.

[Pre-Chorus]
         Am            F
Does the body rule the mind?
            G             F
or does the mind rule the body?
     Am    F   G
I dunno...

[Chorus]
          Am    F        G
Under the iron bridge we kissed
               Am        F          G
and although I ended up with sore lips
       Em      Am        F           G
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
   Em        Am         F
No it wasn't like those days
   G      Am    F  G
Am I still ill?

Am F G

         Am            F
Does the body rule the mind
            G             F
or does the mind rule the body?

[Verse 2]
    Am    F G
I dunno...
       Am          F     G
Ask me why and I'll die
   Am          F       G
Oh ask me why and I'll die
           Em         Am     F       G
and if you must go to work tomorrow
        Em           Am              F  G
well if I were you I wouldn't bother
              Am                F   
for there are brighter sides to life
             G                 F
and I should know because I've seen them
             Am     F G
but not very often

[Chorus]
          Am    F        G
Under the iron bridge we kissed
               Am        F          G
and although I ended up with sore lips
       Em      Am        F           G
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
   Em        Am         F
No it wasn't like those days
   G      Am    F  G
Am I still ill?

Am F G
