[Verso 2]


D 
They told us that our hero has played his trump card 
Am 
He doesn't know how to go on 
Em 
We're clinging to his charm and determined smile 
C                           G 
But the good ol' days have gone 

( D  Am  Em  C  G )

D 
The image and the Empire may be falling apart 
Am

C                           G 
But the truth is getting fierce
