1. _ Passive Resistance
pre>
Capo at 2 c f c am c f am g
C f am c f am g
Nothing can be further removed, not everybody wants to be soothed ooooh
D c am d g c
They're out there now in their padded cells and armchairs
Am d g
Waiting for the nervous twitch that signals fear
C f am c f am g
Hooked up to a cardiogram set up so it cuts out when you cry or laugh
D c am d g c
Worked by those who if you screw up treat you to a broken nose
Am d g
If you tap your toes
C g f
Passive resistance! if it's not for them then it's not for you
C g f
Passive resistance! where the only view is the right view
C g f g c f
Passive resistance! and it breaks my heart to know there's no heart involved
Put the demographics away, the directors and consultants have the final say
Hired in, take home all the ones who missed for souvenirs, for their kids to play
Passive resistance! it's all programmed by programmers
Passive resistance! you're just a nail underneath their hammers
Passive resistance! and it breaks my heart to know there's no heart in them
Instrumental verse
Nothing can be further removed, not everybody wants to be soothed
Oooh they must be real, people that you never meet and never feel
And they don't feel you
Passive resistance! you get surveyed out of existence
Passive resistance! just one in a million silent listeners
Passive resistance! it's all programmed by programmers
Passive resistance! you're just a nail underneath their hammers
Passive resistance! and it breaks your heart
To know there's no heart involved, involved, involved

4. _ Just Like A Man
pre>
Intro a d a a d a e
A d a d e
Just like a man, flexing his muscle and not really usin' it

Climbing the wall, weeping like a weeping willow

Dragging her under for everything he'll never be
Ripping her asunder, said he didn't really love her anyway
Well, forgive him, forgive him

Just like a man, thrashing out blindly way out of his depth
Just like a fool, there's no device he won't employ
He even cries like a little boy

Well, forgive him, forgive him forgive him

Just like a man, just like a man
Just like a man, just like a man /pre>

5. _ Sounds Like Chains
pre>(the backing vocals at the ends of the lines are sung twice)
Intro c#m a (twice)
C#m a
I got to break this armour, cutting off all the feeling (don't wear it)
It's like a melodrama, everybody's scene stealing (just bear it)
It's always the same old number, they never let you out of school (it's nothing)
Well i gotta gun that's loaded, i want to hurt some fool (don't shoot it)
Chorus
C#m b a b
Well the woods are full of wardens,
C#m b a b
They are digging up remains
C#m b a b
It feels like the big stick that smacks of oppression
B (g#m7) c#m
And it sounds like chains
Repeat intro
I wanna bite the hand, bite off the hand that fed me (don't eat it)
I want to turn the knife, turn the knife that bled me (you need it)
You've got it all wrong, you never heard what i said (don't worry)
Well i got a gun that's loaded, it's not pointing at my head
(don't rush it, don't hurry)
Chorus 2
No-one can keep these ropes around me, or take the blood out of my veins
I'll just pull the trigger back as the volume gets stronger
And it sounds like chains
E b c#m c#m
Instrumental then "sounds like chains" 4 times then "oooh chains" and
More instrumental bits.
Choruus 3
Nothing hurts me any longer, there isn't room for any pain
I'll just pull the trigger back as the volume gets stronger
And it sounds like chains
Oooh chains, sounds like chains, ooh chains, sounds like chains

7. _ Beyond A Joke
pre>d g
It's gone beyond a joke, it's gone beyond a laughing matter
D g
We had a flag out in the wind, now it's reduced to just a tatter
C c c
I get the feeling it's all getting out of control
C d g c
I want to be back where we can feel with our real senses ooooh
C d g c
I want to be back where we had every day defences
Chorus
C d c
What did we have? ooooh what did we do?
C d c
What kind of love could not pull us through?
G d a
It was another kind of world and nobody spoke, it was...
Getting beyond a joke, getting beyond a laughing matter, matter, matter
I walked out onto the street, the buildings, the people
Were reduced to tatters, tatters, tatters
It's almost like i am being crushed from inside
I want to touch your hand but it feels a skeleton's grasp ooooh
I want to be in command but i'm just a speck in a swell in a rasp
What did we have? ooooh what did we do?
What kind of love could not pull us through?
It was another kind of time and nobody spoke, it was
Verse
Getting beyond a joke, it was getting beyond a joke,
It was getting beyond a joke
Instrumental completes verse and chorus
Verse
It's getting beyond a joke, it's getting way beyond a laughing matter (x3)
Hands slip, feet trip, lips twist in a grimace every sound's a clatter (x3)
Paper and sky are torn in a terrible way
Everything's been reborn into a world that isn't quite dying
All of the clothes we've worn are too soaking wet to be dry in
Chorus 2
What did we have? ooooh what did we do?
What kind of love could not pull us through?
It was another kind of time and nobody spoke, it was...
Verse
Getting beyond a joke, it was getting beyond a joke, (repeat and fade)

8. _ You Can't Take Love For Granted
pre>
Intro am g (twice)
Verse
Dm am g am
Took her to a party and danced with the host
Took her to a restaurant and treat her like a ghost
Took her to a movie and looked at another screen
Paid for entertainment she'd already seen
Bridge
Bm g d a
I get so hungry, i'm eating my heart out
Bm g d a
Oooh i felt it go empty i'm wondering what i can be thinking about
Chorus 1
Dm am g am
But you can't take love for granted, underneath another skin
Dm am g am
Can't take love for granted, up behind another grin
Demonstrated passion in a grip hard to shake
Took up every fashion till everything went fake
Pulled a coat over her shoulder, cracked a joke over and over
Watch the rain turn the night colder, stared into the headlight beam
Bridge
I get so wired i'm making all the wrong connections
And i get so tired i'm picking up bad affections
Repeat chorus 1
Chorus 2
Can't take love for granted, can't take love for granted,
Can't take love for granted, can't take love for granted,
Instrumental section on bridge chords, then intro repeat
Watch the swans out on the lake, circle circle circle (circle circle)
Talk and talk and talk around it (circle circle)
Repeat chorus 1 then chorus 2 then chorus 1 twice (fade) /pre>
