Verse: Never reason with a fool
But is that unkind?
Looks like I’ve lost my mind once again
I know it all sounds so contrived, but it’s got to me
You know I’ve got to be more than this.

Somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
the more u think, the less u act their ways
so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress
Link: w/ distortion (skipped out of one version)
(Unbelievable bit)

Verse:
And I feel the way u hold, hold me back from this
chances that I`ve missed, now their gone
apathy is all I sense, the feelings too intense
sitting on a fence and cant decide
Bridge:
Don’t frown, don`t scorn, cos I walk a different street to u
u look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown
But it will never get to me
Chorus:
Somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
the more u think, the less u act their ways
so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress

Lyrics:
All these words I accounted for
I’ll never feel another day
All this choice but I need more
Make me take away
Tell me now can you hear the sound?
Of all these people falling down
Going back into the ground
Make me smile again
Same chords as the bridge but different rhythm, quite easy to work out. X2
DA DA DA bit

The ending, this is where the different versions differ:
The ending to the one on the album, is basically just repeating the chorus, then that’s it…
So whatever version you have, all the riffs are tabbed out here. Have fun
