Cynical

Enter the Haggis

Intro:

Em7  Em6

Em7  Em6

Emsus2 hEm7 Am7

Emsus2 hEm7 Emsus2 hAm7

C wAm

        Em7

I'm an actor, a web-voyeur

       Am7

I'm a fall-down follow-through

                Em7

Trying hard to find somebody

    G

And be somebody

           Am7             C   wAm

Like we're all supposed to do

    Em7

Any day now the lights will change

          Am7

And we'll all be forced to go

                  Em

Running with our heads down

            G              wAm       C wAm

Hiding our eyes from people we don't know

 Am7             D

Maybe I'm just cynical

         Em       walk to G

I could care less than I do

        Am7                D

It's a feeling I've grown tired of

        Emsus2

Haven't you?

         Am7            D

And if I ever leave it all behind

      Em                D

Maybe you'll be leaving too

          C             G

But it's obvious you're cynical

     C                D

You don't believe in miracles

Emsus2 hEm7 Am7

Emsus2 hEm7 Emsus2 hAm7

C wAm

      Em7

It's amazing colour dreams of things

      Am7

I can see in monochrome

             Em7

I can buy a prime-time body

      G

With part-time money

         Am7           C   wAm

From the comfort of my home

         Em7

We're so lazy, we're soap-box heroes

          Am7

And we've got so much to say

                Em

But if I never cast my ballot

   G                wAm   C wAm

I wash my hands and walk away

wEm

Maybe it's a dream it's a nightmare

              Am7

Figure we've fallen asleep, we've fallen asleep

          wEm

And if I close my eyes, I'm alone in the room

       Am7

Can it go any deeper, go any deeper?

 Am7            D

Maybe I'm just cynical

         Em       walk to G

I could care less than I do

        Am7                D

It's a feeling I've grown tired of

        Emsus2

Haven't you?

         Am7                 D

And when I finally leave it all behind

       Em                D

Maybe you'll be leaving too

          C             G

But it's obvious you're cynical

     C                Em

You don't believe in miracles

       Am7                D

If you can't believe your eyes

           Emsus2 hEm7 Am7

What can I do?
