Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 And the moment  will come when composure returns
 Put a face  on the world, turn your back to the wall
 And you walk  twenty yards with your head in the air
 Down the Liberty  Hill, where the fashion brigade
 Look with curious  eyes on your raggedy way
 And for once  in your life you've got nothing to say
 And could this  be the time when somebody will come
 To say, "Look  at yourself, you're not much use to anyone"
 Take a walk  in the park, take a valium pill
 Read the letter  you got from the memory girl
 But it takes  more than this to make sense of the day
 Yeah, it takes  more than milk to get rid of the taste
 And you trusted  to this, and you trusted to that
 And when you saw  it all come, it was waving the flag
 Of the United  States of Calamity, hey!
 After all  that you've done, boy, I know you're going to pay
 Ax2
 In the morning  you come to the ladies salon
 To get all  fitted out for The Paperback Throne
 But the people  are living far away from the place
 Where you wanted  to help, it's a bit of a waste
 And the puzzle  will last until somebody will say
 "There's a lot  to be done while your head is still young"
 If you put  down your pen, leave your worries behind
 Then the moment  will come, and the memory will shine
 Intrumental
 Now the trouble  is over, everybody got paid
 Everybody  is happy, they are glad that they came
 Then you go  to the place where you've finally found
 You can look  at yourself, sleep the clock around
 That's it. Please rate and comment.

And the [E]moment will come when composure returns
Put a [B]face on the world, turn your back to the wall
And you [C#m]walk twenty yards with your head in the air
Down the [A]Liberty Hill, where the fashion brigade
Look with [E]curious eyes on your raggedy way
And for [B]once in your life you've got nothing to say
And could [C#m]this be the time when somebody will come
To say, "[A]Look at yourself, you're not much use to anyone"

Take a [E]walk in the park, take a valium pill
Read the [B]letter you got from the memory girl

Yeah, it [A]takes more than milk to get rid of the taste
And you [E]trusted to this, and you trusted to that
