Hook

[Verse 1]
G D Em B
It doesn't matter what I say
C G C D
So long as I sing with inflection
G D Em B
That makes you feel that I'll convey
C G C D
Some inner truth of vast reflection
G D Em B
But I've said nothing so far
C G C D
And I can keep it up as long as it takes
G D Em B
And it don't matter who you are
C G C D
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks

[Chorus]
(open chords)
G D Em B
Because the hook brings you back
C G C D
I ain't tellin' you no lie
G D Em B
The hook brings you back
C G C D
On that you can rely

[Verse 2]
G D Em B
There is something amiss
C G C D
I am being insincere
G D Em B
In fact I don't mean any of this
C G C D
Still my confession draws you near
G D Em B
To confuse the issue I refer
C G C D
To familiar heroes from long ago
G D Em B
No matter how much Peter loved her
C G C D
What made the Pan refuse to grow

[Chorus]
(open chords)
G D Em B
Was that the hook brings you back
C G C D
I ain't tellin' you no lie
G D Em B
The hook brings you back
C G C G
On that you can rely

[Verse 3]
(vocals kind of rapped)
G D
Suck it in suck it in suck it in If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
Em
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
B
And then begin to

C G
See What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
C
It's so PC it's killing me
D
So desperately I'll sing to thee of

G D Em B
love. Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the
C G
shelf. I've tried well no in fact I've lied
C D
Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside to

G D Em B
hide or slide I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died, And only then shall I abide
C
this tide of catchy little tunes
G
Or hip three minute ditties
C
I wanna bust all your balloons
D
I wanna burn all of your cities

G
To the ground I've found
D
I will not mess around
Em
Unless I play then hey
B
I will go on all day hear what I
C
say I have a prayer to pray
G
That's really all this was
C D
And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because…

[Chorus]
G D Em B
The hook brings you back
C G C D
I ain't tellin' you no lie
G D Em B
The hook brings you back
C G C D
On that you can rely
