Verse
Am C G Am
Floodlights shine from motion detectors
F C F C
They know that we’re out here, they know that we’re out here
Am C G Am
The truth is a minefield and they’re the defectors
F C
They know that we’re out here
Am C G Am
Beyond the frame and outside the margins
F C F C
Don’t know where we’re going but I know that we’re gone
Am C G Am
We scour the city, the streets and the gardens
F C
And everything’s wrong
Chorus
F C F C
The captains of industry are driving us home
Dm Am F G
Selling us lies, tapping our phone
F C F Em
Shaking us down and we don’t even know it
G F
If you want real love, show it
Riff Am C Em Dm G

If you got nothing they look at you funny
F C
Oh, this ain’t a joke
Chorus
F C F C
The captains of industry are driving us home
Dm Am F G
Selling us lies, tapping our phone
F C F Em
Shaking us down and we don’t even know it

If you want real love, show it
G F
If you want real love, show it
Riff Am C Em Dm G
