The Revival

Em
It took a little longer than we hoped
           G
But it was worth it
                    Am                 B7
You know it takes a village to raise a scheme
             Em         C
To patch the holes of a mausoleum
Em
Well we’re packing in the patronage
            G
Like it's a lotto and everybody wins
           Am                   B7
Now take a seat so the show can start
             Em                     Cm
And will you welcome these works of art

Cm                Em
Isn’t she beautiful No
Cm                Em                   Am
Maybe another one here could entertain Yes
Am                  B7
We swear that every minute's worth the wait

Em
Hey It's a cry you can’t contain
                       Am
A release you couldn’t estimate
        C        B7
And the secret's safe as long as you pay
Em
It's so good to be so bad
                          Am
You can leave it when you walk away
    C              B7
And pretend you’ve washed your hands of it

Em
Last call for the Sunday squaws
               G
And there's no room left for the hem and haw
             Am            B7
We’ll give a gift long overdue
           Em            C
And make a sultan out of you
Em
That’s right any troglodyte
           G
Can have a life in the party as a socialite
             Am         B7
Or if you’re looking to efface
        Em               C
You can retire without a trace
                      Cm
Don’t you bother with doubt

Em
Hey It's a cry you can’t contain
                       Am
A release you couldn’t estimate
        C        B7
And the secret's safe as long as you pay
Em
It's so good to be so bad
                          Am
You can leave it when you walk away
    C              B7
And pretend you’ve washed your hands of it

Em
Another candidate for giving her bruises
Em
Another night that she’ll dissociate
Em
Another man who thinks the rules don’t apply to him
Em
Long was this road I’ve wandered
B                Bb
But short did my temperance live
Am                   B
Here I’ve helped him build a temple
Em B                  Em
To deify this czar of sin
Em
Now who to blame but I for tying
B                         Bb
These knots so well at my wrists
Am                            B
The noose would surely find me if I’m too wily
Em              B        Em
But what of the life I’d live
C                       B
The sale of a soul that falls
Em                  C
As foolish as young Esau
Am                        B7
It's better if I withdraw

Em
Hey It's a cry you can’t contain
                       Am
A release you couldn’t estimate
        C        B7
And the secret's safe as long as you pay
Em
It's so good to be so bad
                          Am
You can leave it when you walk away
    C              B7
And pretend you’ve washed your hands of it
Em E
