[Verse]
               Em                     Am
Big, bad man's law doesn't carry much sway
                     G     F
When you come around here
                      Am       Dm7
You can still scratch my back
                       G      C
And I can still change sides

[Verse]
               Em                        Am
Don't carry no torch 'til you have it in type
                G    F
That I'm doing okay
                    Am       Dm7
It's only one man's outlook
                     G
It could be one more lie

[Chorus]
C
Look at it closely
G
Counterfeit mostly
Dm7
Yesterday's brushwork
      C           G
Using yesterday's paint
         F              Am
And everything that I believe
          Dm        G
And every note that you receive
             C              Em  Am  G  C  Em  Am  G  C
They're just vanities to you__

[Verse]
                    Em                    Am
Hear that Liverpool wind as I'm making my way
                  G     F
For the very last time
                       Am  Dm7
Is this a resurrection?
                 G     C
Do you really care__?

[Verse]
                  Em                    Am
I can't relish no kiss 'til I happen to hear
               G      F
Your honeycomb nouns
                  Am   Dm7
Let you down so often
                  G
I'll do the same again

[Chorus]
C
Look at it closely
G
Counterfeit mostly
Dm7
Yesterday's stories
         C                 G
It's the same all over the world
         F              Am
And everything that I believe
          Dm        G
And every note that you receive
             C              Em  Am  G  C  Em  Am
They're just vanities to you__

[Bridge]
C                         Dm7
Busy little bodies have a story to tell
G                           C
Even if it goes against the grain
                             F
Tiny little seeds have got a notion to swell
           G             Dm7
But who am I to rock the boat?
         F              Am
And everything that I believe
          Dm        G
And every note that you receive

[Chorus]
C
Look at it closely
G
Counterfeit mostly
Dm7
Yesterday's brushwork
      C           G
Using yesterday's paint

[Chorus]
C
Look at it closely
G
Counterfeit mostly
Dm7
Yesterday's stories
         C                 G
It's the same all over the world
