Inside And Out

Genesis

E
Seems they're letting him out next year
He's behaving himself I hear
Governor Conway says it will be fine
Just as long as he can tow the line.

Bm
So it's the same old story
A
But it says here "Mum you're not to worry,
E
'Cos some you lose and some you lose."

At this party he was on his own,
All he did was say he'd take her home
But it seems he didn't go straight there
'Twas on the porch she told him, 
Put your hand there

Bm                   A
Yes it's that same old story, 
they told her mum she's not to worry
Am               D9          B7              E Esus E
If what she says is so, they'll never let him go.
   
   E         F#m7                 B7           E
R: Never a word could be heard, not even the sound of a bird
   F#m7        Bm
   Singing it over again, telling the same old story
   A           B7              E7                   A
   Never the same as before, see the summer going out by the door.
   B7                   E7                A Asus
   And now that you've paid for those lies, get another disguise.

E
It's twenty years now since our kid came free
Oh I remember August '53
But it wasn't quite like they said
With that behind you you can't plan ahead.

Bm
So it's that same old story
A
They say you're free, so don't worry
Am                   D9
What they said's not so
B7             E
They never let you go!

R: Never a word could be heard...
