Introduction:

E  
Lean back into the wind
                                                             C                      G  
It?s an empty cold outside
        E  
I sent you back just the smoothest rock I could find
  C                                                                                                                      G  
Accompanied by just a couple of words came to mind
                        E  
It?s an old concept
Sending letters again
C                                                                                                                 G  
Well thought out, rehearsed and written in pen
E  
Paperless here is a thing of the past
             C                                                                                 G  
I?m cutting down trees and using up gas

We?ve got Mandarax and loveless sex
                G                                                                                                                         B7                 E  
And information passing right through our skin and bones.... oh
E  
Spot on with my content for the lesser known
             C                 E  
In spite of all of the rules of my own
That I break up in stride
C  
Ignoring my front, back
                                                                     G  
Ignoring my left and my right
                             E  
It?s my moral compass
And it?s easy to find
C                                                                                                      G  
Well thought out, intentionally left behind
E  
It?s regrettable, yes
But how could I ever sleep at night?
C                                                                                                              G  
Knowing I had rules and knowing I had to abide
A                                 C  
We?ve got Mandarax and loveless sex
                G                                                                                                                         B7  
And information passing right through our skin and bones
                          C  
It?s the information age
             G                              D  
Of lesser consequence to the silence
C  
The information age
             G                                            D  
Of fountain pens and real stationary
C  
The information age
             G                              D  
Of lesser consequence to the silence
C  
The information age
