LIVING ON A THIN LINE- The Kinks

D C G
All the stories we've been told of kings and days of old
D F C
But there's no England now (there's no England now)
D
All the wars that were won and lost
C G D F C
Somehow don't seem to matter very much anymore
D
All the lies we were told (all the lies we were told)
C G D F C
All the lives of the people running round and castles that burned
D C G D
Now I see change but inside we're the same as we ever were

D C G D
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
D C G D
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
D C G
Living on a thin line, living this way, each day's a dream
D
What am I, what are we supposed to do?
D C G D
Living on a thin line, oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?

C G D
Now another century nearly gone (gone, gone)
C G D
What are we gonna leave for the young?
C G D
What we couldn't do, or what we wouldn't do, disappoint but does it matter?
C G
Does it matter much, does it matter much to you?
D
Does it ever really matter? Yes, it really really matters!

Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?

F G Em
Then another (leave us cents), break their hearts and break some heads
G F Am
Is there nothing we can say or do?
Am G C
Blame the future on the past, always lost in bloody guts
D
And when they're gone it tears you

Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
Living on a thin line oooohh tell me now what are we supposed to do?
D F C D
Living on a thin line oooohh


NOTE: I'm not sure of all the words, especially the "leave us cents" part.

Yup, this song was on The Sopranos. Used during the rolling credits at the end of an episode (Can't remember the episode though).
