Capo 3

Am
You love the girl, you love the man
F
Who slipped away under the sign?
Am
Opens your eyes and you'll understand
F
Who broke your back, the gingerman
G                                            Am
We are only learning to die

Am
And you learnt it all when you were five
F
Holding your breaths to stay alive
Am
Escape from the heat under the fire
F
Learning to love your Uncle Sam
G                                        Am
We are only learning to die

You love the girl, you love the man
Who slipped away under the sign
Opens your eyes I bet you'd understand
Who broke your back, the gingerman

The sign on the door deserved a hand
Holding your breaths to be a man
But down on the floor you'll realise
The catapillar-crawls and butter-flies
Escape from the heat under the fire
Learning to love our Uncle Sam

We are only learning to die

Alison, the carousel
Broken hearts, another cell
Leaving here I'll understand
Foreign cars are in demand

Alison, the carousel
Broken hearts, another cell
Leaving here I'll understand
Foreign girls are in demand

Demand, in demand, demand
In demand, in demand

And we are only learning to die
We are only learning to die
We were barley learning to die
