Hook

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

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

 The hook brings you back
 Bb       F              Bb     C
 I ain't tellin' you no lie
     F    C          Dm    A
