     C#m             A              B
I decree today that life is simply taking
          A
and not giving
           C#m   A             B   A
England is mine, it owes me a living
           C#m           A             B A
But ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
   C#m             A                 B
Oh ask me why and I'll spit in your eye
     G#m       C#m         A          B
But we cannot cling to the old dreams anymore
   G#m         C#m            A   B
No we cannot cling to those dreams.

         C#m            A
Does the body rule the mind?
             B             A
or does the mind rule the body?
     C#m A B
I dunno.

Chorus:
          C#m    A        B
Under the iron bridge we kissed
               C#m       A         B
and although I ended up with sore lips
        G#m     C#m     A            B
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
   G#m       C#m         A
No it wasn't like those days
   B      C#m  A B
Am I still ill?

         C#m            A
Does the body rule the mind
             B             A
or does the mind rule the body?

I dunno...
Ask me why and I'll die
Oh ask me why and I'll die
And if you must go to work tomorrow
Well, if I were you I wouldn't bother
For there are brighter sides to life
And I should know because I've seen them
But not very often

Chorus:
Under the iron bridge we kissed
And although I ended up with sore lips
It just wasn't like the old days anymore
No, it wasn't like those days
Am I still ill?
Ohh...
Oh, am I still ill?
Ohh...
