Hook

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

 [Verse 3]
 (vocals kind of rapped)
 D                                                          A
 Suck it in suck it in suck it in  If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
 Bm
 Make a desperate move or else you'll win 
 F#
 And then begin to
 
 G                                D 
 See What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
 G
 It's so PC it's killing me
 A
 So desperately I'll sing to thee of
 
 D               A                              Bm              F#                      
 love. Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the
 G                        D                             
 shelf.  I've tried well no in fact I've lied
 G                               A
 Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside to
 
 D              A                       Bm                                   F#      
 hide or slide  I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died, And only then shall I abide 
      G              
 this tide of catchy little tunes
     D
 Or hip three minute ditties
         G
 I wanna bust all your balloons
         A
 I wanna burn all of your cities
 
 D              
 To the ground I've found
 A                
 I will not mess around
          Bm         
 Unless I play then hey
   F#            
 I will go on all day  hear what I  
 G             
 say I have a prayer to pray
 D                         
 That's really all this was
              G                                A
 And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because…
 
 [Chorus] 
     D    A          Bm     F#
 The hook brings you back
 G       D              G     A
 I ain't tellin' you no lie
     D    A          Bm    F#
 The hook brings you back
 G  D            G      A
