Hook

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

 [Verse] 
 E          B             C#m   G#
 It doesn't matter what I say
 A          E             A   B
 So long as I sing with inflection
 E              B                 C#m   G#

 E             B          C#m    G#
 But I've said nothing so far
 A              E        A          B
 And I can keep it up as long as it takes
 E            B              C#m    G#
 And it don't matter who you are
 A       E                A                      B
 If I'm doing my job then it's your resolve that breaks
 
 [Verse 3]
 (vocals kind of rapped)
 E                                                          B
 Suck it in suck it in suck it in  If you're Rin Tin Tin or Anne Boleyn
 C#m
 Make a desperate move or else you'll win 
 G#
 And then begin to
 
 A                                E 
 See What you're doing to me this MTV is not for free
 A
 It's so PC it's killing me
 B
 So desperately I'll sing to thee of
 
 E               B                              C#m              G#                      
 love. Sure but also rage and hate and pain and fear of self And I can't keep these feelings on the
 A                        E                             
 shelf.  I've tried well no in fact I've lied
 A                               B
 Could be financial suicide but I've got too much pride inside to
 
 E              B                       C#m                                   G#      
 hide or slide  I'll do as I decide and let it ride until I've died, And only then shall I abide 
      A              
 this tide of catchy little tunes
     E
 Or hip three minute ditties
         A
 I wanna bust all your balloons
         B
 I wanna burn all of your cities
 
 E              
 To the ground I've found
 B                
 I will not mess around
          C#m         
 Unless I play then hey
   G#            
 I will go on all day  hear what I  
 A             
 say I have a prayer to pray
 E                         
 That's really all this was
              A                                B
 And when I'm feeling stuck and need a buck I don't rely on luck because…
 
 [Chorus] 
     E    B          C#m     G#
 The hook brings you back
 A       E              A     B
 I ain't tellin' you no lie
     E    B          C#m    G#
 The hook brings you back
 A  E            A      B
 On that you can rely
