Afternoon In The Sunshine

A             D
Naivety isn't bliss
A                           E
And that's why I'm waving a placard
A               D
Banning a bomb, righting a wrong
A             E     A
Or trying and being ignored
          A                       D
'cause if you want the pie in the sky
     A                 E
Well baby you'd better believe it
           A                      D                   A      E         A
'cause the moon on a stick to the filthy and rich is another political puppet
A                                 D
And the left leaning liberals got lonely
A                          E
Defending the rights of us all
A                        D
Everyone else just looks selfish
A           E      A
Thinking of only a few
    A                   D
But we have all got our opinions
    A                         E
And we will all share them in time
A                          D
Sometimes our opinions are different though
    A                E        A
And that's where the problems lie

[Chorus]
        D                A
But we all want to live, we all want to laugh
E                       A
We all want to love and we all want to dance
   D                      A
So let's put our problems aside
         E                A
Spend an afternoon in the sunshine

[Verse 2]
    A                      D
I'm wearing my rose tinted glasses
A                E
Over my bleeding heart
A              D              A         E              A
Enjoying every moment of this wonderful life that I've got
A                      D
Fooling myself that by singing my songs
A                    E
I'm kind of doing my bit
A                         D                        A       E      A
But I'm as embarrassed as everyone else at the the size of my footprint

[Chorus 2]
      D                    A
But I want to eat meat and I want to fly
        E                            A
I don't want to feel guilty just for being alive
         D            A       E                A
And I'll work hard to keep my afternoon in the sunshine

[Bridge]
             D          A             E
It's like an angry open letter and an online think piece
   D           A               C#            D
An out of tune folk song at an underattended protest
D                 A                     C#                  D
We're all looking left and right as the world goes down the drain
      A                              E              A
Let's think about the things that we agree on for a change

[Chorus]
            D                    A
'cause we're all skin and bones, we're all flesh and blood
E                     A
We all get lonely and we all need love
     D                   A
Deep down we are all the same
       E          A
Just a human in a race
       D                    A
And we all want to live, we all want to laugh
   E                        A
We all want to love and we all want to dance
   D                      A
So let's put our problems aside
          E               A
Spend an afternoon in the sunshine
