[Verse 1]
      Db   A        D      Db
I was in a sleeping dream
       Db        A          B      Db
When a policeman brought my mother home
       Db       A      D       Db
By the window I didn't scream
      Db          A     B  Db
I was too old for that
      Db   A       D      Db
I was in a drunken dream
    Db        A
The pubs were closed
       B       Db
It was three o'clock
       Db            A         D       Db
At the bottom of the street it seemed
            Db        A           B    Db
There was a policeman lost in the fog


[Chorus]
       Db
I understand but I don't see it
       Db
I understand but I don't see it
       Db
I understand but I don't read it

[Verse 1]
        Db           A    D    Db
You can cry for your lost childhood
         Db          A    B    Db
Will you cry for our lost childhoods?
      Db     A       D     Db
But remember how you hated it
    Db              A        B     Db
And worse cause you couldn't state it?


[Chorus]
         Db
And it's time for the note, see it
         Db
And it's time for the note, say it

         Db
And it's time for the note, read it

[Verse 3]
            Db       A      D     Db
Look at the woman of thirty-nine
            Db     A     B     Db
Look at the man of forty-nine
        Db         A     D      Db
You can read their lousy lives
        Db        A    B    Db
You can see their ugly face lines


[Chorus]
          Db
They understand but they don't see it
          Db
They understand but they don't see it
       Db
I understand but I don't read it
