[Verse 1]
A E F#m C#
It doesn't matter what I say
D A D E
So long as I sing with inflection
A E F#m C#
That makes you feel that I'll convey
D A D E
Some inner truth of vast reflection
A E F#m C#
But I've said nothing so far
D A D E
And I can keep it up as long as it takes
A E F#m C#
And it don't matter who you are
D A D E
If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks
[Chorus]
(open chords)
A E F#m C#
Because the hook brings you back
D A D E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
A E F#m C#
The hook brings you back
D A D E
On that you can rely
[Verse 2]
A E F#m C#
There is something amiss
D A D E
I am being insincere
A E F#m C#
In fact I don't mean any of this
D A D E
Still my confession draws you near
A E F#m C#
To confuse the issue I refer
D A D E
To familiar heroes from long ago
A E F#m C#
No matter how much Peter loved her
D A D E
What made the Pan refuse to grow
[Chorus]
(open chords)
A E F#m C#
Was that the hook brings you back
D A D E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
A E F#m C#
The hook brings you back
D A D A
On that you can rely

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