[Verse]
           E                
It doesn't matter what I say
F#m C#7 D    A              D          E A
So  ■   long as I sing with inflection ■ ■
               E         F#m    C#7
That makes you feel I'll convey ■  
D            A             D          E7
■ Some inner truth or vast reflection ■ 
A               E          F#m C#7
■ But I've said nothing so far ■  
D           A                 D          E7    E
■ And I can keep it up for as long as it takes ■
A              E              F#m C#7
■ And it don't matter who you are ■  
D        A                 D                 E7    
■ If I'm doing my job it's your resolve that breaks


[Chorus]
            A    E          F#m  C#7 D
Because the hook brings you back ■   ■
        A              D   E7
I ain't tellin' you no lie ■ 
A        E7     E   F#m  C#7 D
The hook brings you back ■   ■
   A            D    E7
On that you can rely ■ 


[Verse]
A          E         F#m   C#7
■ There is something amiss ■  
D      A     D         E A
■ I am being insincere ■ ■
          E          F#m        C#7 
In fact I don't mean ■   any of this
      D    A                    D    E7 A
Still ■ my confession draws you near ■  ■
               E       F#m  
To confuse the issue I refer
C#7 D          A           D    E   A
To  ■ familiar heroes from long ago ■
              E                F#m C#7
No matter how much Peter loved her ■  
D               A             D    E7
■ What made the Pan refuse to grow ■ 


[Chorus]
         A    E          F#m  C#7 D
Was that hook brings you back ■   ■
        A           D  E7 
I ain't tellin' you no lie
A        E          F#m  C#7 D
The hook brings you back ■   ■
   A            D   
On that you can rely

[Verse]
A                                   B7                 A             
Suck it in suck it in suck it in if you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
                                     C#7                   D  
Make a desperate move or else you'll win and then begin to see
                             A7                 
What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
     D                        E                             A   
It's so PC it's killing me so desperately I sing to thee of love
         E                                  F#m         
Sure but also of rage and hate and pain and fear of self
C#7                                    D    
And I can't keep these feelings on the shelf
           A                     
I've tried well no in fact I lied
      D                    E7                                
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside
   A                  E                                                
To hide or slide I'll do as I'll decide and let it ride until I've died
         C#7                         
And only then shall I abide this tide
   D                      A                      
Of catchy little tunes of hip three minute diddys
        D                     
I wanna bust all your balloons
        E                           A     
I wanna burn all your cities to the ground
             E                             F#m          
I've found I will not mess around unless I play then hey
  C#7                            D  
I will go on all day hear what I say
                               A                  
I have a prayer to pray that's really all this was
             D                            
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck
  E7                        
I don't rely on luck because


[Chorus]
    A    E          F#m  C#7 A D
The hook brings you back ■   ■ ■
        A              D  
I ain't tellin' you no lie
E E7 A   E F#m 
■ ■  The ■ hook
C#7 D      A   A7      
On  ■ that you can rely
