 Pangs,  of silence, from the room upstairs.
C         G
 Hows the view there?
G                         D
 Do you read what they're saying about you?

G            D       Em        D
 That you're no fun, since the war was won.
C             G
 In fact, you have become,
G           D                      Am        C
 All of the things you've always... run away from.

    Get rest while you can.

G               D         Em      D
 So where'd the years go? All the time we had?
C      G         G          D
 Being poor was, not such a drag in hindsight.
G        D       Em       D          C     G
 And you wonder, why your father was so re-signed.
G              D           Am    C
 Now you don't wonder, any-more.

(Sta...n); now you're the institution.
    D  G
