*INTRO*
F F C C
G G Dm Dm Am Am
F F C C
G G Am Am

[Verse 1]
F F C C
Gold, let it unfold
G G Dm Dm Am Am
And imagine you're dressed in gold
F F C C G G
Roaring crowds in Manchester will manage to be told

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Dm Am Am C C
Oh, and your king, the boy you loved in spring
G G D D
The way she looks at him
E/F E/F Am Am C C G G
The common goal, and waiting for the kids to go




[Chorus]
F F C C G G
But we've been held back for after-school meetings
Dm Dm Am Am F F
They've got it in for me
C C
For all it's worth
G G Am Am
The key to life on Earth

F F C C G G
Jokers, happy go xenophobe locals
Dm Dm Am Am F F
Have got it in for me
C C
For all I'm worth
G G Am Am
The key to life on Earth


[Instrumental]
F F C C
G G Dm Dm Am Am
F F C C
G G Am Am



[Verse 2]
F F C C
Holy smokes
G G Dm Dm Am Am
You kids and your jokes
F F C C G G Am Am
Asking where we got our jeans and where the hell we found our coats
F F C C G G Dm Dm Am Am
'Cause dirty streets these days are graced by Nikes of black and green
F F C C G G
And headstrong boys in chinos barely grasp what that could mean


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Dm Am Am C C
And they lie, the men that wrung us dry
G G D D
The boys who poked your eye
E/F E/F Am Am C C G G
The common fool, the walk to school for you and I


[Chorus]
F F C C G G
But we've been held back for after-school meetings
Dm Dm Am Am F F
They've got it in for me
C C
For all it's worth
G G Am Am
The key to life on Earth

F F C C G G
The thing is, these out-of-touch scrounging rich kids
Dm Dm Am Am F F
Are living here for free
C C
On my home turf
G G Am Am
The key to life on Earth


*INSTRUMENTAL*
F F C C
G G Dm Dm Am Am
F F C C
G G Am Am


[Verse 4]
F F C C G G
Call in to wake you up in the morning
Dm Dm Am Am C C G G
Iron your suit and tie forever until you die
F F C C G G Dm Dm Am Am F F
Join forces, like carousels and their horses forever spinning 'round
C C G G Am Am
And never coming down


[Outro]
F F C C
Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out
G G Dm Dm Am Am
Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth
F F C C
Come work in Sainsbury's babe until you've had enough
G G Dm Dm Am Am
Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
F F C C
Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out
G G Dm Dm Am Am
Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth
F F C C
Come work in Sainsbury's babe until you've had enough
G G Dm Dm Am Am
Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
