Great Expectations
[Intro]
|: F# F# | A A | C# C# | D E | F# F# :|

[Bridge]
| F# F# | A A | C# C# |

[Verse 1]
C#
When I was young I dreamed and dreamed
C#
About all the things that I was gonna be
C#
A handsome popstar on the screen
C#
or captain of the England team
C#
A brave explorer holding court
C#
Or a really famous astronaut

|: F# A C# | D E F# :|
C#
They said "Son, it could all be yours –
C#
You just work hard and pay your dues
C#
Don’t be content with what you’ve got
C#
There’s always more that you can want
H    C#     D      E
Everybody’s on the make
F#
That’s what made this country great"

[Chorus 1]
C#                     D
So all I wanted in the end
                                        A
Was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend
C#                  D
Everything I touch, everything I see
                          A
fame and fortune, immortality
                C#
Well that’s not much to ask, it’s really not –
         E                                     F#
It’s not much to ask, just the same as anybody else


[Bridge]
|: F# F# | A A | C# C# | D E | F# F# :|

[Verse 2]
C#
So welcome to the free for all
C#
The smash and grab, the freeloaders ball
C#
Where everything is here for us
C#
If we scream, shout, make a fuss
C#
There’s nothing that you can’t afford
C#
With a poisoned tongue and a sharpened sword
H       C#       D    E
Spoilt children in a row
F#
No-one dares to tell ’em "No"

[Chorus 2]
C#                     D
So all I wanted in the end
                                        A
Was world domination and a whole lot of money to spend
C#                        D
A little place to call my home
                       A
Like a planet that was all my own
                C#
Well that’s not much to ask, it’s really not –
         E                                     F#
It’s not much to ask, just the same as anybody else

[Verse 3]
C#
So in every heart there’s a broken dream
C#
A shattered cause, a might have been
C#
And in every eye is a secret tear
C#
In every heart there’s a secret fear
C#
That this is it, done, complete
C#
Resign yourself to your defeat
    H     C#     E        D
The bitterness behind the show,
F#
That’s were spoilt children go
