Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A]
[Esus4][Asus2][Esus4][Em]
Three dozen [D]cycles,

[Verse 1]
[Bm]
give or take [A]a sum,[F#m]
[D]The [F#m]sum of that expe[G]rien[Em]ce
- how to keep [A]running.
[Em]O I [D]know jus[Bm]tice,
it's a [G]birthright if you're [A]born right,
[D]and I know how [G]hand[Bm]some is
that [G]trick of the [A]light,
So don't be mis[D]taken in
[G]thinking [Em]I'll do right
[A]given [D]the chance to do [G]wrong[A]
[D]aga[G]in [D]and again.[Em]
Summer [D]romeos

[Verse 2]
[Bm]casing [A]the park,
[F#m]by the unifor[G]m urinals of
[Em]love's rural [A]province.
[Em]O don'[D]t you know time,[Bm]
with its [G]petty vial [A]of sands,
in[D]scrutable [Bm]face and [G]merciless [A]hands?
And don't you know [D]love?
It's a [G]whirlwind [Em]of feathers,
[A]tickles you [D]to your nethers and
leaves a [G]terrain [Em]of despair…

[Verse 3]
And I know when [D]grief goes un[Bm]checked,
[F#m]
There's a kind of re[G]lief in the [Em]wreckage
[A]for the [Em]wrecked…
Weren't you [D]alone

[Verse 4]
[Bm]last
time [F#m]I saw you?
How do you keep [G]running from
[Em]the world and the [A]war?
O [D]I know young f[Bm]athers who
[G]once were like sol[A]diers,
[D]AWOL in flung [Bm]places
[G]or without [A]standing orders,
Alarming ap[D]proaches
[G]to time [Em]and it's killi[A]ng,
[D]no [G]victimless crime [A]again and [G]again.[A][Em][D]
[Bm][F#m]

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][A][D][Bm][G][A]
[D][Bm][G][A]

[Verse 5]
[Em]Monday night[D],
[Bm]Goodies and The Doc[F#m]tor,
Now that bath time's [G]over,
[Em]time for pyjamas[A].
[D]O I know self p[Bm]ity,
it be[G]gins with nostal[A]gia,
and you'll [D]die of melan[Bm]choly
if the [G]dolor don't [A]get ya,
And I know a [D]poem on a
[G]wall next to a [Em]picture
of a [A]dick and a [D]fanny,
by a [G]smear of re[A]gret.

[Verse 6]
And it [Em]sings of its [D]own long de[Bm]mise,
[F#m]something about im per[G]ium,
and a [Em]new sun will r[A]ise,
and "O [D]please don't [Bm]go with those ho[G]rrible g[A]uys,
they only [D]want one [G]thing."
[Em]O plea[D]se don't go wi[Bm]th those horrib[G]le guys,[A]
they only [D]want [G]one thing,
[A]Again [G]an [A]d a[G]gain.[A][Em]
