                   G
    G
It wouldn't take a long time
              
To explain what lies between us
        C
And it wouldn't take a genius
    G
To work out what the scene is



It might just take a pilot


To give you a natural high
            C
But you're sending off those bottle tops
     G
For your free piece of mind
        Bb                   Am 
And are you just waving or drowning?
        Bb                              D#
It's so hard to tell when you're so far away

    F             Bb
Oh innocence has passed you by
   Dm             C
A long long time ago
   F          Bb
I was the fly upon your wall
    Dm              C
And I saw what you know
      F            Bb                Dm          C
Your pornographic priestess left you for another guy
      F              Bb                  Dm           Am
You frighten little children and you'll always wonder why
Dm            C        G
Always wonder why    (yah!)

     G
The mercury is rising


And it's not all that surprising
        C
In the land of milk and honey
           G
Where you make big money


And it always keeps the rain off


And it always keeps you dry
          C
But back home the people hate you
         G
And you never did know why
       Bb                Am
But I think I'm going to tell you
              Bb                         D#
Just give me fifty thousand lire for my thoughts

    C              Bb
Oh innocence has passed you by
   Dm             C
A long long time ago
   F            Bb
I was the fly upon your wall
    Dm              C
And I saw what you know
     F           Bb
The supermarket checkout girl
      Dm                 C
Once smacked you in the eye
      F             Bb
When you eat noone else does
         Dm           Am
But you always wonder why
 Dm            C
Always wonder why

Bb          
It would take a gunshot


Just to clear your head awhile
           C
And after all this time


How can you stand there


Look at me and smile?

   F Bb Dm C (x3)   F Bb Dm Am  G

        Bb                   Am
Now are you just waving or drowning?
        Bb                           D#
It's so hard to tell with you so far away

    F             Bb
Oh innocence has passed you by
   Dm             C
A long long time ago
   F           Bb
I was the fly upon your wall
    Dm             Am
And I saw what you know
   F          Bb                Dm            C
Degeneration suits you, now I'm going home to cry
     F              Bb
You won't be seeing me again
           Dm            C
But you'll always wonder why
Dm            C    G
Always wonder why
