VERSE:
Bm A G EmDoctor Doctor what is wrong with me
This supermarket life is getting long
Bm A G EmWhat is the heart life of a colour TV
Bm A G Em CWhat is the shelf life of a teenage queen
D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western woman
Ooh Western girl
New hounds sniff the air
A G EmWhen Jessica Hahn goes down
Bm A G EmHe latches onto that symbol of detachment
attracted by the peeling away of feeling
Bm A G Em CThe celebrity of the abused shell the belle
D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western woman
D Dsus2 D GOoh Western girl
D Dsus2 D G
Ooh Western woman
Ooh Western girl
And the children of Melrose
D Dsus2Strut their stuff
GIs absolute zero cold enough
And out in the valley warm and clean
GThe little ones sit by their TV screens
D Dsus2 DNo thoughts to think
No tears to cry
G A BmAll sucked dry
A GDown to the very last breath
Bartender what is wrong with me?
Em AWhy am I so out of breath?
Em AThe captain said excuse me ma'am
This species has amused itself to death
(intro notes comes in full force)
D Dsus2 D G
Amused itself to death
D Dsus2 D GAmused itself to death
We watched the tragedy unfold
We did as we were told
DWe bought and sold
It was the greatest show on earth
But then it was over
Dwe ohhed and aahed
we drove our racing cars
GWe ate our last few jars of cavier
DAnd somewhere out there in the stars
A keen-eyed look-out
GSpied a flickering light
DOur last hurrah
Our last hurrah
And when they found our shadows
Em AGrouped around the TV sets
Em AThey ran down every lead
They repeated every test
Bm GThey checked out all the data on their lists
BmAnd then the alien anthropologists
Admitted they were still perplexed
DBut on eliminating every other reason
Dsus2 D GFor our sad demise
They logged the explanation left
G BmThis species has amused itself to death
Bm A G Em
repeat and fade
