Cardboard Empire

E Bm Cmaj7 G6 Bm7 E

E         Bm               Cmaj7          G6
Cardboard empire would you crumble to the ground
     Bm7        E
As we watched by
E        Bm              Cmaj7           G6
Shipping magnate are you stranded on the ground
        Bm7       E
With no dog to fly

B         Amaj7         Em7
Round the table sat the kings of circumstance
B                   Amaj7
The puppeteer would pull his strings
    Em7
And we would sing and dance
       F#m7             A7sus4
As the cardboard empire fell

E Bm Cmaj7 G6 Bm7 E

E         Bm           Cmaj7              G6
Stone Age Neros sat behind their desks of steel
        Bm7        E
Trading paper clips
E      Bm               Cmaj7           G6
Of our empire there was nothing left untouched
      Bm7
But potato chips

   B               Amaj7           Em7
We sat down at the banquet and the jester danced a reel
B             Amaj7              Em7
The gladiator drew his sword, we knew we were the meal
       F#m7             A7sus4
As the cardboard empire fell

Am                G6 Am                G6
Who are the people,  who are the people
Fmaj7                       E7
Who are the people that you think you are
Am                G6 Am                G6
Who are the people,  who are the people
Bb                          C         D
Who are the people that you think you are
