Verse 1
     A 
In a daggers-drawn debate 
                                   E 
You get caught in the crossfire of words 
         A 
Aimed at getting you to sing for your life 
                       E 
Though you know it's absurd 
 
Verse 2
           F#m 
And you're limited to one glass of wine 
                         C#m 
When your heart's set on thirds 
           F#m 
And you're led to the river of sighs 
                  C#m 
To get fed to the birds 
 
Chorus
               B 
While children stare 
B 
'Cause you're loveless 
        A 
And the world don't care 
 
Verse 3
    A 
Any time is the right time to go 
                        E 
If you've finished your act 
             A 
And when the camera pans the man 
                          E 
With the gun in a suicide pact 
 
Verse 4
                   F#m 
Though you've been learning to survive 
                                 C#m 
With your dignity and memories intact 
            F#m 
'Cause it's easier to die in your sleep 
                        C#m 
When the city's been sacked 
 
Chorus
            B 
You're over there 
B 
And you're loveless 
        A 
And the world don't care 
 
Verse 5
            A 
When you're naked in the sun 
                                          E 
And your neighbours start to gossip and sneer 
         A 
And your sponsors want more 
                                       E 
Forgetting any more could end your career 
 
Verse 6
          F#m 
Then some nurse who's been cursed 
                                   C#m 
With a grin that can stab like a spear 
          F#m 
Tells you nothing's gonna save you from your past 
                     C#m 
You're expected to cheer 
 
Chorus
      B 
For a dare 
B 
But you're loveless 
        A 
And the world don't care

Verse 7
       A 
So you find you're a voice 
                          E 
In the ranks of a funeral choir 
         A 
And your parasite friends 
                                  E 
From the past make a dash for the wire 
 
Verse 8
         F#m 
And your debt's long enough 
                                 C#m 
To be wrapped 'round an Anglican spire 
            F#m 
Mean you're so full of hope for the future 
                 C#m 
Your libido's on fire 
 
Chorus
         B 
It isn't fair 
B 
When you're loveless 
        A 
And the world don't care
