[Verse]
[A] Woke up this morning and the [B] streets were full of cars
[D] All bright and shiny like they'd [A] just arrived from mars
[A] And as I stumbled through last [B] night's drunken debris
[D] The paperboy screamed out the [A] headlines in the street
[Pre-Chorus - 0:14]
[Em] Another war and now the [D] pound is looking weak
[C] And tell me have you read a-[Bm]-bout the latest freak
[Em] We're bingo numbers and our [D] names are obsolete
[C] Why do I feel bitter, when I [B] should be feelin' sweet
[Chorus - 0:30] (power chords)
Hello [E] hello, [C#m] turn your radio [G#m] on [B]
Is there [E] anybody out there, [C#m] help me sing my [G#m] song [B]
La-la-la [F#m] life is a strange thing [G#m]
[A] Just when you think you [B] know how to use it, it's [E] gone.
Hint:
Strum the A only once, don't play the B (it's only played by the bass). Then strum
the E once and play the following fill-in, which leads to the second verse.

[Verse - 0:55]
[A] Woke up this morning and my [B] head was in a dace
[D] A brave new world has dawned up-[A]-on the human race
[A] Where words are meaningless and [B] everything's surreal
[D] Gonna have to reach my friends to [A] find out how I feel
[Pre-Chorus - 1:09]
[Em] And if I taste the honey, [D] is it really sweet
[C] And do I eat it with my [Bm] hands or with my feet
[Em] Does anybody really [D] listen when I speak
[C] Or will I have to say it [B] all again next week
[Chorus - 1:25] (power chords)
Hello [E] hello, [C#m] turn your radio [G#m] on [B]
Is there [E] anybody out there, [C#m] help me sing my [G#m] song [B]
Hello [E] hello, [C#m] turn your radio [G#m] on [B]
Is there [E] anybody out there, [C#m] tell me what went [G#m] wrong [B]
[Solo - 1:53]
La-la-la [F#m] life is a strange thing [G#m]
