[Verse 1]
How are things [Am]in
your little [A]world?
[Am]I hope[F] they're going well,
an[Dm]d yo[G]u ar[C]e too
Do you still see [Am]the same [A]old crowd?
[F]The ones who used to meet
[Dm]ever[G]y Friday
[C]I'm really sorry that I can't [Am]be there[A]
[G]But wor[F]k comes first,
[Dm]I'm sure you'll [G]understand[C]
Things are really taking [Am]off for m[G]e
[F]Business is thriving,
and [G]I'm showing a [Am]profit
And in [G]any case

[Verse 2]
[C]it[Am]
wouldn't be [G]the [C]same
'Cause we've all grown up,
and we've got our lives
And the values that we had
once upon a [G]time
[C]Seem [Am]stu pid now,
'cause the rent [G]must be paid
[Am]And some bonds severed,
and [G]others made

[Verse 3]
Now I don't want you [Am]to get
me [G]wrong
[F]Ideals are fine [Dm]when [G]you are [C]young
And I must admit we [Am]had a [A]laugh
[G]But that's [F]all it was and [G]ever will be

[Verse 4]
[Am]'Cause the [G]burning [C]sky
[Am]keeps burn[G]ing brig[C]ht
And as [Am]long as it [C]does (and it
[Am]always [C]will)
There's no time [Am]for [C]dreams
when commerce calls
And [Am]the taxman's shouting,
'cause he [G]wants his dough
And [Am]the wheels of finance won't be[G]gin to

[Interlude 2]
slow
[Am][G][C][Am][G][C]
[Am][G][C][Am][C]

[Verse 5]
[C]And [Am]it's[C] only us[Am] realists who
[G]are gonna come through
'Cause there's [A]only one power
higher than [G]that of truth
And that's [Am]the burning s[G]ky
[C]

[Interlude 3]
[Am][G][C]
[G][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 6]
Oh and by the way [Am]I must tell [F]you
Before I sign off,
that [G]I've got a meeting [C]next week
With the head of [Am]a big cor[A]porate
[G]I can't [F]disclose who,
[Dm]but [G]I'm sure you'll know i[Am]t
And the burning [G]sky

[Verse 7]
[C]
[Am]keeps burn[G]ing brig[C]ht
And it won't [Am]turn [C]off till
it's had enough
It's [Am]the greedy [C]bastard
who won't give up
And you're just [Am]a dr[C]eam
er if you don't realize
And [Am]the soon[C]er you do will
be the better for you
Then we'll [Am]all be happy,
and we'll [G]all be wise
And [Am]all bow down to the [G]burning

[Interlude 4]
sky
[Am][G][C][Am][G][C]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Then[G][C]
we'll [Am]all be happy,
and we'll [G]all be wise
And to[Am]gether we will live
beneath the [G]burning [C]sky
