[Gb] [Dm] [C]
[F] [G] [Dm] [C]
[F] [C] [Dm] [C]
[F] [C] [Dm] [C]
[F] [C] [Gm] So [F] what [Gm] have we got to [A] [Bb] do to [A] be [Bb]
there [A] for [Bb] our children?
Wish upon a beat, the colourful crowd, spray can [Am] information, [Gm] [Eb] cover [Bb] the lonely station,
[F] a checkpoint [Gm] for the [A] state [Bb] of the nation.
[A] So [Gm]
what have we got to do to [Eb] [Bb] be there for our children?
I'm [Dm] looking [Am] to be [F] king, [C] the [D] [Am] radio [F] drum, [C] [Dm] the wayward [F]
destination, [C] [Dm] the [Am] second hand [F] sensation,
[C] [G] [D] break [Dm] this heart, [Am] break [F] this [C] heart, and wrap it [Gm] up.
[A] [Bb] So what have we got to do to be there for [N] our children?
Our hero's in trouble, [C] [Bb]
in the back of the cell, the plug and the cord,
a shoulder dislocation, a bruised in isolation,
[D] break this [Dm] heart, [Am] break [F] this [C] heart, and give [Am] it some [E] peace.

[B] [A]
[B] [C] [B] [A]
[F]
[Bb] The alabaster storms [Gm] were writhing on walls, [A] across my heart's confusion,
we're all looking [Eb] for a new solution, say [Dm] it's a new [Am]
[F] land,
[C] [Dm] [Am] swallowing [F] sweat, [C] [D] say [Am] don't drink [F] and shake [C] me,
[Dm] don't [Am] come down [F] and save [C] me, I [D] want you to break [Dm]
this heart,
break [Am]
[F] this heart, [C] and wrap it [Am] up.

[Dm] [Am] [F]
[C] So [Dm] [Am] [F]
[C] [Dm] [Am] what [F] have [C] you got [D] to put me through?
[Am] [F]
[C] You've got [D] to believe [Am] [F] me, [C] or I'll [D] kiss you deep [Am] in,
[F]
[C] or I'll [D] kiss you so [Am] long, [F]
[C] you've got [D] to be [Am] strong,
[F]
[C] you've got [Dm] to believe me, [F]
[C] or I'll [D] kiss you deep [Am] in,
[F]
[C] or I'll [Dm] kiss you [C] [F] so
[C] [D] [Am] long, [F]
[C] you've got [D] to be strong.
[F] [C] [D] [Am]
