Thick As a Brick

(F5)Really don't (Cm)mind if you (Bb)sit this one (F)out;

(Bb)in my (F5)word's but a (Cm)whisper,

your (Bb)deafness a (F)shout.

(Bb)The I (F5)may make you (Cm)feel but I (Bb)can't make you (F)think;

(Bb)as your (F5)sperm's in the (Cm)gutter,

your (Bb)love's in the (F)sink.

(Bb)So you ride yourselves (C)over the (F)fields,

and you (Bb)make all your (C)animal (F)deals,

and your (Bb)wise men don't (C)know how it (F)feels

(C)to be thick as a brick.

(Bb)And the (F5)sand castle (Cm)virtues are (Bb)all swept (F)away

(Bb)in the (F5)tidal (Cm)destruction, the (Bb)moral (F)melée.

(Bb)The (F5)elastic (Cm)retreat rings the (Bb)close make of (F)play

(Bb)as the (F5)last wave (Cm)uncovers the (Bb)newfangled (F)way.

(Bb)But your new shoes are (C)worn at the (F)heels,

and your (Bb)suntan does (C)rapidly (F)peel,

and your (Bb)wise men don't (C)know how it (F)feels

(C)to be thick as a brick.

(Bb)And the

(F)And the (F5)love that I (Cm)feel

(Eb)is so far (Gm)away.

(Bb)I'm a bad dream that I (Dm)just had

(F)today.

(Bb)And you shake your (C)head

and said it's a (F5)shame.

(Cm)Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth.

(Cm)Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the (Eb)whole (Cm)truth.

(Cm)Spin me down the long ages;

let them sing the song.
