[Verse 1]
A          E             F#m7   C#7
It doesn't matter what I say
D          A             D   E
So long as I sing with inflection
A              E                 F#m7   C#7
That makes you feel that I'll convey
D          A               D   E
Some inner truth of vast reflection
A             E          F#m7    C#7
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#m7    C#7
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#m7     C#7
Because the hook brings you back
D       A              D     E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
    A    E          F#m7    C#7
The hook brings you back
D   A            D      E
On that you can rely
 
[Verse 2]
A        E         F#m7   C#7
There is something amiss
D    A           D   E
I am being insincere
A         E          F#m7         C#7
In fact I don't mean any of this
D            A                D     E
Still my confession draws you near
A               E        F#m7    C#7
To confuse the issue I refer
D            A          D       E
To familiar heroes from long ago
A             E           F#m7      C#7
No matter how much Peter loved her
D             A             D     E
What made the Pan refuse to grow
 
[Chorus] (open chords)
              A   E          F#m7    C#7
Was that the hook brings you back
D       A               D   E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
    A    E          F#m7    C#7
The hook brings you back
D  A            D      A
On that you can rely

[Verse]
A          E             F#m7   C#7
It doesn't matter what I say
D          A             D   E
So long as I sing with inflection
A              E                 F#m7   C#7

Some inner truth of vast reflection
A             E          F#m7    C#7
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#m7    C#7
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
 
[Verse 3] (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#m7
Make a desperate move or else you'll win
C#7
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#m7             C#7
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#m7                                  C#7
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#m7
Unless I play then hey
  C#7
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#m7     C#7
The hook brings you back
D       A              D     E
I ain't tellin' you no lie
    A    E          F#m7    C#7
The hook brings you back
D  A            D      E
On that you can rely
