-INTRO-
D Riff
D Riff
-VERSE-
D Riff
Parents don't be too kind to your kids
D Riff
Or else how will they grow up to be
D Riff
Louche Parisian sinners and Nashville country singers
D Riff
Singing about the terrible things their parents did
D Riff
Lovers dont be sparing with the truth
D Riff
Break their hearts if that's what you must do
D Riff
Fill them with remorse tinged with hope of course
D Riff E riff
Let their baser instincts pull them through
-CHORUS-
E7 Gsus2 E riff
And though it seems a little strange to me
E7 Gsus2
People never really change it seems
-VERSE-
D Dsus2/G
All across America
A7 riff D Dsus2/G A7 riff
Waitresses and boys who play guitar
D Dsus2/G
They fall in love and fall out
A7 riff
The boys have something to sing about
D Dsus2/G A7 riff
And the girls go drown their sorrows in the bars
D Dsus2/G A7 riff
While in front rooms all across the old country
D Dsus2/G A7 riff
Sat spellbound in front of their TVs
D Dsus2/G
Younger brothers and sisters
A7 riff
Wonder at what they're missing
D Dsus2/G A7 riff E riff
Wonder how the air tastes when you're really free
-CHORUS-
E7 Gsus2 E riff
And though it seems a little strange to me
E7 Gsus2 E riff
Well you can never really change it seems
E7 Gsus2 E riff
We're all broken boys and girls at heart
E7 Gsus2
Come together, fall apart
-POWER VERSE-
D5~ NEW RIFF
And in Battersea power station the Fisher King
D5~ NEW RIFF
Ponders on his ruin among many other things
D5~
He folds his broken hands
D5~ NEW RIFF
Surveys his baron lands
D5~ D5~ D5
And prays for hope to whisper in the wind
-BRIDGE-
Gsus2
Cause we were born without reason
A7
We'll die without meaning
Dm Dm/C
And the world will not shrug all that
Gsus2
Much at our passing
G6
You can try and try and try
A7 D Dsus2/G A7 riff 2
But no one ever makes it out alive
D Dsus2/G A7 riff 2
But no one ever makes it out alive
-OUTRO-
D Dsus2/G
All you broken boys and girls

Fix yourselves to fix the Fisher King

All you broken boys and girls

Won't you fix yourselves to fix the Fisher King?

Won't you fix yourselves to fix the Fisher King?
Dsus2/G Dsus2/F# Em
