[Verse 1]
E
Now the world is getting older
C#m A
There’s a few things to be said
E
Do you believe the things they told you
F#m E
Do you believe the things you’ve read
[Verse 2]
E
There’s a rumour on the corner
C#m A
But it’s always been denied
E
Cause they don’t want you any wiser
F#m E
You’re just toeing the party line
[Chorus]
E
From the west side to the east side
C#m A
From the north side to the south
E
You’ll never get bad information
F#m E
If you believe in the word of mouth
[Verse 3]
A B
Look out for those who still want to hang on
A B
Look out for those who live in the past
A B
Get out and listen to the whisper
A B E
Because the times are changing fast
[Chorus]
E
From the west side to the east side
C#m A
From the north side to the south
E
You’ll never get bad information
F#m E
If you believe in the word of mouth
[Verse 4]
A B
You don’t believe the information
A B
You don’t believe it when it’s denied
A B
So when you’re reading explanations
A B E
You have to read between the lines
