Send My Love to the System Will Varley
[Verse 1]
I'[G]ve been looking through some pictures
That I found in my room
Time m[C]achines take you back
To the places you once knew
And I r[D]emember all the things
that I used to care about
And I [C]realised that they faded
They don't matter to me now
[Verse 2]
They are [G]moments in a lifetime which I never understand
Just a [C]glance across the room
Cigarette burnin' on my hand
Just a s[D]econd conversation on a sunday afternoon
Or a [C]kiss on a bridge
After it's been raining in June
[Bridge]
And [Em]maybe I got older
And [C]maybe I can't see
Or maybe I just realised that [D]I want to be free
[Cborus]
So send my love to the s[C]ystem
Send my love to the sy[G]stem
[Verse 3]
Well [G]Playgrounds look like prisons the day after you leave school
And [C]exes look like angels
The day before they fall
You get c[D]aught up with the rose
In the glasses on the wall
And you re[C]member what they look like
And know what they will call
[Verse 4]
And there was [G]still a way you smile
Some autumn monday morning
They will [C]hate you
And they will rage you
And they will punish you without warning
And you s[D]earch for signs of goodness
And you search for signs of life
Till you're s[C]tanding on a stage
And you're blinded by the lights
[Bridge]
And m[Em]aybe I got scared
And g[C]ave in to the disease
Or maybe I just realised that I[D] want to be free
[Cborus]
So send my love to the sy[C]stem
Send my love to the sy[G]stem
[Verse 5]
Where the mo[G]rning's slowly coming
As the pictures gathered dust
As the li[C]ght dances with chemicals
But there is no need to rush
We just si[D]t here for a while
Till we're ready to go back
We stick our fi[C]ngers up in times
Till the horizon is getting fat
[Verse 6]
But I will t[G]ake something with me
Which I could never found
If I'd have c[C]arried on going forwards
In those directions we are bound
So I t[D]hank you little photograph
For giving me a sign
Now I thi[C]nk I'll have to burn you
Just in case you change your mind
[Bridge]
And m[Em]aybe I got older
And g[C]ave up all my dreams
Or maybe I just realised that [D]I want to be free
[Cborus]
So send my love to the sys[C]tem
Send my love to the sys[G]tem
[Verse 7]
We're not l[G]eaving any doorways
We're not losing any speed
But if [C]we die tomorrow
At least we got what we need
An[D]d you can carry on
No I'm not judging you at all
Takes us[C] all different times
To recover from school
[Verse 8]
If you [G]ever get your empire
I'm sure I'll shake your hand
But I t[C]hink I'll be content
Drawing pictures in the sand
And as [D]for all these photographs lying on the floor
Yes, I'l[C]l burn them in the morning
'Cause I don't need them anymore
[Bridge]
And m[Em]aybe I will miss them
In Ti[C]me we will see
But I think I just realise that I [D]want to be free
[Cborus/Ending]
So send my love to the sy[C]stem
Send my love to the sy[G]stem
Send my love to the sy[C]stem
Send my love to the sy[G]stem
