D GIt was midnight, midnight at noon
D GEveryone talked in rhyme
D GEveryone saw the big clock ticking
D F GNobody knew, nobody knew the time
D GElegant debutantes smiled
D GEveryone fought for dimes
D FNewspapers screamed for blood
Em BmIt was the best of times
[Chorus]
Am FEvery place around the world it seemed the same
Am FCan't hear the rhythm for the drums
Am FEverybody wants to look the other way
Am FWhen something wicked this way comes
Gm CSometimes they tie a thief to the tree
AmSometimes I stare
DSometimes it's me
[Verse 2]
D GEveryone told the truth
D GAll that we heard were lies
D GA pope claimed that he'd been wrong in the past
Em BThis was a big surprise
D GEveryone fell in love
D GA cardinal's wife was jailed
D F GThe government saved a dying planet
Em BmWhen popular icons failed
[Chorus]
Am FEvery place around the world it seemed the same
Am FCan't hear the rhythm for the drums
Am FEverybody wants to look the other way
Am FWhen something wicked this way comes
[Outro]
Gm CSometimes they tie a thief to the tree
Am DmSometimes I stare, sometimes it's me
Am DmSometimes I stare, sometimes it's me
