The Circus Tab par Erasure

Am
Call it new technology
                    F
And they use it to burn
                     G
And they show no concern
Am
Work for their prosperity
                      F
While the big wheels turn
                    Dm G
Now it's too late to learn


C                   F
Don't upset the teacher
                    C       F
Though we know he lied to you
Dm                    F
Don't upset the preacher
                      G Dm     E
He's gonna close his eyes for you

             F
And it's a shame
                  G
That you're so afraid
        Am
Just a worker waiting
                 Em   F
In the pouring rain
                  G
Putting back the pieces
              Am      F
Of a broken dream
                  G
Putting back the pieces
              Am
Of a broken dream


Am
Father worked in industry
                       F
Now the work has moved on
                   G
And the factory's gone
Am
See them sell your history
                       F
Where once you were strong
                   G
And you used to belong


C                   F
There was once a future
               C       F
For a working man
 Dm                    F
There was once a lifetime
                G Dm       E
For a skillful hand yesterday


             F
And it's a shame
                  G
That you're so afraid
        Am
Just a worker waiting
                 Em   F
In the pouring rain
                  G
Putting back the pieces
              Am      F
Of a broken dream
                  G
Putting back the pieces
              Am
Of a broken dream


C                   F
There was once a future
               C       F
For a working man
 Dm                    F
There was once a lifetime
                G Dm       E
For a skillful hand yesterday



             F
And it's a shame
                  G
That you're so afraid
        Am
Just a worker waiting
                 Em   F
In the pouring rain
                  G
Putting back the pieces
              Am      F
Of a broken dream
                  G
Putting back the pieces
              Am
Of a broken dream


Putting back the pieces

Of a broken dream

Of a broken, of a broken dream
