Em


[Verse 1]
Em                                                C
There once was a king of Paris, there once was an emperor of Brazil
          G                                                   D
There was maybe a Loch Ness Monster, there once was a Buffalo Bill
            Am                                       F
Now you can search the whole wide planet, scratching in the mud and worms
       C                           Am    G          F
But an honest politician is just a contradiction in terms


[Chorus]
         C                   G      Am                          Fm
And if I had the keys to the kingdom, I'd hand them straight to you
           C             G              Am            F
In another time, another place, another life, another waste
              C              G                 C
Sometimes the last thing you wanna know is the truth


[Instrumental]
Em


[Verse 2]
Em                                                 C
With your bishops priests and mullahs, and all the mumbo jumbo clans
            G                                                 D
When you're not accepting women, how can you love your fellow man
              Am                                    F
Well, you can search the whole wide planet, down to viruses and germs
   C                            Am    G          F
A 'sensible' religion is just a contradiction in terms


[Chorus]
         C                   G      Am                          Fm
And if I had the keys to the kingdom, I'd hand them straight to you
           C             G              Am            F
In another time, another place, another life, another waste
        C             G            Am           F
Another love, another lie, another small way to die
              C              G                 C
Sometimes the last thing you wanna know is the truth
