[Em][Bm][E][C#m][C#dim][Em][G][F#][Bm][D][E]

[Verse 1]
[E]We've seen it before,
[C#m]the high- flying act[Em]
Is it manic delusion or [F#]a
statement of [C]fact[D]
That hot fevered brow,
them bright shining [G]eye[C#dim]s
The hand on the heart,
[F#]those self- serv[F#sus4]ing lies[F#][G]

[Verse 2]
It's an ancient [Em]tradition[A]
but everyone [D]knows
Them [Em]gaudy old rag[C#dim]s are the emperor's[G]
[F#]new clothes

[Bm][Em][C][B][Cdim][D][E]

[Verse 3]
We've heard [E]it before,
[C#m]your ego parade[A][Em]
[G]You're al[Em]ways so sure,
[F#sus4]a hollow charade[F#][C][Cdim][D]
You promise the moon,
an' squander the [G]earth[C#dim]
The only person you [C#m]fool is
[F#]yourself[F#sus4]
[F#]

[Verse 4]

[Verse 5]
We've seen [E]them before,
[C#m]those crocodile tears[Em]
The [G]well should'a run [Em]dry,
it's [F#]been so many [Cdim]years[D]
You throw us a bone,
then ask for it [G]back[C#dim]
The only thing you own,
you [F#sus4]stole from[F#] our backs

[Verse 6]
