B C
It seems strange to write about these things now
Asus2
But the time has probably come when we should
B C Em
Accept whatever is past and gone and never will return.
B
Looking back to the beginning
C Asus2
I see a flood of painful memories
B Asus2 Em
And the bitter hurt and wounded pride that comes with our defeat
B
We set out with our heads held high,
C Asus2
So sure our ground, our righteousness,
B Asus2 Em
The new Jerusalem to be built with love and guts and truth
B
But in the end we surrendered easily.
C Asus2
It's no use pretending otherwise . . .
B Asus2 Em
Well most of us had a little something to lose, enough to break our nerve.

B C Asus2
Well, some of us made an easy peace and moved into the Brave New World;
B Asus2 Em
It's hard for the true believers to look back now and realise
B C
That for many of the crowd it was just the fashion, the cause of the moment,
Asus 2 B
Well we if anyone should know that you can look pretty dumb
Asus2 Em
Standing in last year's clothes.
B C Asus2
And some of us, shell-shocked still, ran for shelter and do the rituals
B Asus2 Em
The same old way pretending that someone out there cares
B
And some of us live in the modern world.
C Asus2
We give unto Caesar what is due
B Asus2 Em
And harbour the bitterness of defeat and daydreams of revenge.

[Outro]
B
Now nothing you see out there is real,
C Asus2
It matters not what you believe in.
B Asus2 Em
It matters less what you say but only what you are.
B C Asus2
It matters what you are. It matters what you are.
B Asus2 Em B
