Bm F#7/A#      A              D          F#
We build it all, soon we're scaling the wall
        Bm
together
               A#dim7     A
Hard hearts, simple minds, no thought of what
       D         F#           G
We're leaving behind forever more
            D             A       G
Oh well, I never really knew my place
         D       A         G
I was a nuclear waste of space
           D/F# G      Asus4  Bm
Now I'm a lover of the human race

Flat broke, empty house, ice cold,
hand to mouth we're getting
Cracked up, gone to seed, blindly
following politician's lead
Oh well, I never really knew my place
I was a nuclear waste of space
Now I'm a lover of the human race

D        G            D
We need something more
        G            D
always something more
           G          Em
Still we know for sure
               Asus4 A Em
show is nearly over now
               F#
Party's gonna come to an end

Wishbone walking cane, black shades,
looking to throw it all away
Such well-meaning plans, hot hands
messing around with DNA
Oh well, I never really knew my place
I was a nuclear waste of space
Now I'm a lover of the human race
A lover of the human race
A lover of the human race

We need something more, always something more
Still we know for sure show is nearly over now
Party's gonna come to an end
We need something more, always something more
Still we know for sure show is nearly over now
Party's gonna come to an end
