F                      Dm

Living in a Pastime Paradise.
F                      Dm
 They've been spending most their lives,
       E7           Am
Living in a Pastime Paradise.

F                     Dm
 They've been wasting most their time,
      E7              Am
Glori-fying days long gone behind.
F                     Dm
 They've been wasting most their days,
      E7                     Am
In re-membrance of ignorance oldest praise. Tell me...

 Who of them, will come to be?
       F     Dm        E7      Am
How ma-ny of them, are you and me?

Dispen-sation, iso-lation,

Exploi-tation, muti-lation.

   F               Dm
Mu-tations, miscre-ation,

Confir-mation, to the evil's of the world.

F                     Dm
 They've been looking in their minds,
        E7                Am
For the day that sorrow's gone from time.
F                  Dm
 They keep telling of the day,
         E7                   Am
When the Saviour of love will come to stay. Tell me...
