We Are 1980 Chords & Lyrics - Said The Whale

[E]Lean back into the wind

It’s an empty cold ou[C]tside [G]
I s[E]ent you back just the smoothest rock I could find

A[C]ccompanied by just a couple of words came to m[G]ind
It’s an[E] old concept

Sending letters again
[C]Well thought out, rehearsed and written in p[G]en
[E]Paperless here is a thing of the past
I’m[C] cutting down trees and using up[G] gas
[A]We’ve got M[C]andarax and loveless sex
And in[G]formation passing right through our skin and bo[B7]nes.... o[E]h
[E]Spot on with my content for the lesser known
In sp[C]ite of a[E]ll of the rules of my own

That I break up in stride
[C]Ignoring my front, back
Ignoring my left and my ri[G]ght
It’s my m[E]oral compass

And it’s easy to find
[C]Well thought out, intentionally left beh[G]ind
[E]It’s regrettable, yes

But how could I ever sleep at night?
[C]Knowing I had rules and knowing I had to ab[G]ide
[A]We’ve got Ma[C]ndarax and loveless sex
And in[G]formation passing right through our skin and bo[B7]nes
It’s the[C] information age
Of le[G]sser conseque[D]nce to the silence
[C]The information age
Of fo[G]untain pens and re[D]al stationary
[C]The information age
Of le[G]sser conseque[D]nce to the silence
[C]The information age
[Em]We are 1980
[C]We are 1980
[Em]We are 1980
[C]We are 1980
[G]We are 1980
[C]We are 1980
