The Police - Born In The 50's: chords

Chorus:
A# G#   D#                A#     G#
We were born, born in the fifties
 D#                C# G#
Born, born in the fifties
 D#                A#    G#
Born, born in the fifties
 D#                C# G#
Born, born in the fifties

 D#            G#
My mother cried
      A#                   G#
When president Kennedy died
     D#                       G#
She said it was the communists
            A#   G#
But I knew better

D#                   G#
Would they drop the bomb on us
          A#                    G#
While we made love on the beach?
             D#                       G#
We were the class they couldn't teach
                A#
'Cause we knew better

Chorus

They screamed when the Beatles sang
And they laughed when
the King fell down the stairs
Oh, they should've known better

Oh, we hated our aunts,
then we messed in our pants
Then we lost our faith and prayed to the TV
Oh, we should've known better

Chorus

D#m7                                    G#
We freeze like statues on the pages of history
D#m7
Living was never like this
        D#m7 G#
when we took all those G.C.E.'s
 D#m7                          F#7 F#m
Oh, you opened the door for us
and then you turned to dust
     A#
You don't understand us, so don't reprimand us
       A#
We're taking the future, we don't need no teacher
