We Are 1980

• E

E 
Lean back into the wind 

                       C         G 
It?s an empty cold outside 
   E 
I sent you back just the smoothest rock I could find 

 C                                             G 
Accompanied by just a couple of words came to mind 
         E 
It?s an old concept 

Sending letters again 
C                                           G 
Well thought out, rehearsed and written in pen 
E 
Paperless here is a thing of the past 
     C                               G 
I?m cutting down trees and using up gas 
A            C 
We?ve got Mandarax and loveless sex 
      G                                              B7       E 
And information passing right through our skin and bones.... oh 
E 
Spot on with my content for the lesser known 
     C       E 
In spite of all of the rules of my own 

That I break up in stride 
C 
Ignoring my front, back 
                          G 
Ignoring my left and my right 
           E 
It?s my moral compass 

And it?s easy to find 
C                                       G 
Well thought out, intentionally left behind 
E 
It?s regrettable, yes 

But how could I ever sleep at night? 
C                                          G 
Knowing I had rules and knowing I had to abide 
A             C 
We?ve got Mandarax and loveless sex 
      G                                              B7 
And information passing right through our skin and bones 
          C 
It?s the information age 
     G            D 
Of lesser consequence to the silence 
C 
The information age 
     G                 D 
Of fountain pens and real stationary 
C 
The information age 
     G            D 
Of lesser consequence to the silence 
C 
The information age 
Em 
We are 1980 
C 
We are 1980 
Em 
We are 1980 
C 
We are 1980 
G 
We are 1980 
C 
We are 1980
