Dm F Dm F
Dm Em F Dm
Someday they won't let you, now you must agree
Em F Dm
The times they are a telling, and the changing isn't free
Em F Dm
You've read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on TV
Bb C Dm
Beware the savage jaw
Bb C Dm F Dm F
Of nineteen eighty four
Dm Em F Dm
They'll split your breathing cranium, and fill it full of air
Em F Dm
And tell that you're eighty, but brother, you won't care
Em F Dm
You'll be shooting up on anything, tomorrow's never there
Bb C Dm
Beware the savage jaw
Bb C Dm
Of nineteen eighty four
CHORUS 1:
Am Bb Eb Ab
Come see, come see, remember me
Gb Ebsus4 Eb
We played out an all night movie role
Ab Gb
You said it would last, but I guess we enrolled

In nineteen eighty four
Db Eb
nineteen eighty four
BREAK: Dm F Dm F
Dm F Dm F
Dm Em F Dm
I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
Em F Dm
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
Em F Dm
I'm looking for the treason that I knew in sixty five
Bb C Dm
Beware the savage jaw
Bb C Dm
Of nineteen eighty four
