[Verse 1]
F                       C
Gold, let it unfold
G                         Dm                         Am
And imagine you’re dressed in gold
F                                 C                                         G
Roaring crowds in Manchester will manage to be told

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                                  Am                                  C
Oh, and your king, the boy you loved in spring
G                                  D
The way she looks at him
E/F                                  Am                  C                  G
The common goal, and waiting for the kids to go

[Chorus]
F                                  C                                  G
But we’ve been held back for after-school meetings
Dm        Am                  F
They’ve got it in for me
C
For all it’s worth
G                                  Am
The key to life on Earth

For all I’m worth

The key to life on Earth

[Verse 2]
F                  C
Holy smokes
G                  Dm                  Am
You kids and your jokes
F                                  C                                  G                                  Am
Asking where we got our jeans and where the hell we found our coats
F                                  C                  G                                  Dm                  Am
‘Cause dirty streets these days are graced by Nikes of black and green
F                                                  C                                  G
And headstrong boys in chinos barely grasp what that could mean

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                  Am                                  C
And they lie, the men that wrung us dry
G                                                  D
The boys who poked your eye
E/F                  Am                                  C                  G
The common fool, the walk to school for you and I

[Chorus]
F                                  C                                                  G
But we’ve been held back for after-school meetings
Dm                  Am                  F
They’ve got it in for me
C
For all it’s worth
G                                  Am
The key to life on Earth
F                                  C                                  G
The thing is, these out-of-touch scrounging rich kids
Dm       Am                  F
Are living here for free
C
On my home turf
G                                  Am
The key to life on Earth

[Verse 4]
F C G
Call in to wake you up in the morning
Dm Am C G
Iron your suit and tie forever until you die
F C G Dm Am F
Join forces, like carousels and their horses forever spinning ’round
C G Am
And never coming down

[Outro]

Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out
G Dm Am
Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth
F C
Come work in Sainsbury’s babe until you’ve had enough

Come out and join us honey, we will sort you out
G Dm Am
Come work in Brookfield Park and we will shut your mouth
F C
Come work in Sainsbury’s babe until you’ve had enough
G Dm Am
Come on out, come on out, come on out, come on out
