[Verse 1]
C# F# C#
When I was 17
D#m
I saw a magazine
D C#
It had those English Boys
F# C#
Who had long hair
F# C#
When I was on my own
F#
They moved into my town
D#m C#
And I just called them up
F#
And they'd be there
F# C#
In 1969
D#m
I had a lousy time
D C#
I listened to the songs
F# C#
Read letters sent from Nam
C# F# C#
Now peace and love were gone
F#
The tired soldiers home
D#m C#
Ideal society
F#
Gunned down the 70s
B C#
Does it feel the same to you?
B C#
Why do you act the way you do?
B C#
Pack it up or pack it in
D#m
There's no excuse
[Chorus]
B C#
Could the hands of time reverse?
B C#
Would we wake or take the ride
B C#
And again speak with one voice?

C# F# C#
We knew each other well
D#m
Although we never met
D C#
Messages passed to tell
F# C#
Equal respect
C# F# C#
Coincidence recurred
F#
I had to laugh a lot
D#m C#
One week hung up superb
F#
Said maybe not
[Chorus]
B C#
Does it feel the same to you?

Why do you act the way you do?
