[C][G][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[C]Well,
you say it's such a [G]small, small world
Flying [Am]Club Class back
from the [Em]far- east
Curled [C]up safe and warm
in the [G]big chair
You were [Am]drifting through the
skies [Em]of anywhere

[Verse 2]
Get the [C]courtesy car to the [G]Sheraton
There's [Am]live on- the- spot re[Em]ports
on the [C]CNN between the ad- breaks
[G]So you think you[Am] know what's
going [Em]on - but you don't
Because you [C]weren't in Belfast,
no you [G]weren't there

[Verse 3]
And no you [Am]wer en't in Waco,
no you [Em]wer en't there
And you [C]weren't in Kosovo,
you [G]weren't there
And you [F]weren't in my head
so you [G]don't know how it felt
[Am]Walking arm in arm w[Em]ith
crowds to the [C]square
And the banners wav[G]ing [F]and the sun[G]
[Am]glinting[Em]
[C][G][Am][E][Em]
[C][G]

[Verse 4]
[Am][Em]
All this inform[C]ation swims
[G]round and round
Like a [Am]shoal of fish in a [Em]tank going nowhere
[C]Up and down between
the [G]glass walls
You're [Am]so safe in the knowledge
they're im[Em]penetrable

[Verse 5]
And you [C]look out at the world
and see [G]nothing at all
So go [Am]back to sleep and you'll be
[Em]woken when the [C]time comes
And you'll [G]never know just what [F]hit
you or where it [Em]came from
Because you [Am]weren't in Bradford,
no you [G]weren't there

[Verse 6]
And you [F]weren't on the hill,
no you [G]weren't there
And you [Am]wer en't with
us so you [G]never saw
Just what [F]happened when the television
[G]crews came knocking on the [Am]door
How the people told [Em]them
all to go to [C]Hell,
Smashed the cameras and [G]sent them away

[Verse 7]
[F]There were
sirens going off and
po[G]licemen coming in
And all [Am]that you love was
being [Em]swept away
In the [C]rush of a black [G]tide
all done in your [F]name
And you'll [G]never know just what

[Verse 8]
[Am]
happened there
[G]Or how it [F]feels - j[G]ust how it feels...
