Intro: Db

Ab                       Bbm                          Gb
The clouds salivating, drooling from the sky at the thought of the trouble to wreak
Ab                                        Bbm                      Gb
'til lightning breached their bellies, Caesarean section washes pigment from every street
    Ab                                            Bbm                  Gb
And it's high tide, as the sewers rise, and the drains have become obsolete
        Ab                                 Bbm                     Gb
Seems there's no place in this town, for something as pure as you seem


Ab                       Bbm                             Gb
I'm diving into headers, put this pretty face where the boots are flying in
Ab                          Bbm                      Gb
Been bobbing rotten apples, water to my waist, in a shark-infested bin
Ab                                         Bbm                   Gb
People laugh, they will call it folly, but we connected like a Yeboah volley
Ab                                      Bbm          Gb
I'm totting up my worth in stamps, but doing it in second class


   Db            Bbm          Db
I heard that it hurts, and I said, oh


Ab                             Bbm                        Gb
Two wrists, two wrist watches, tick-tick-tocking, second hands slightly out of time
Ab                          Bbm                            Gb
a constant subtle reminder, one of us will be gone before bells of the other chime
Ab                                      Bbm              Gb
I requested a room with a view, in the middle of a war between me and you
     Ab                              Bbm      Db     Gb
And leave with all the dignity of a missed Panenka penalty


   Db            Bbm          Db
I heard that it hurts, and I said
         Bbm              F              Gb
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
     Db         Bbm          F
She smiled at a joke, but I said
         Bbm              F              Gb
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
         Bbm                 F               Gb
'til the rats and worms are all interned at least 5 feet above me

Interlude: Db

Ab                                      Bbm                    Gb
Draw me like one of your fence, girls, stood erect as a post, head to toe in creosote
Ab                                        Bbm                          Gb
We're blocking out all the lapsed-punks, listen them piss and moan, counting out major notes
Ab                              Bbm             Gb
Banned from every bar in town, snooker balls a weapon made
Ab                              Bbm                Gb
Snooker cue held upside down, propelled like helicopter blade


   Db            Bbm          Db
I heard that it hurts, and I said
         Bbm              F              Gb
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
     Db         Bbm          F
She smiled at a joke, but I said
         Bbm              F              Gb
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
         Bbm                 F               Gb
'til the rats and worms are all interned at least 5 feet above me
         Bbm              F              Gb
I'll be gloomy 'til they glue me in the arms of she who loves me
         Bbm                 F               Gb
'til the rats and worms are all interned at least 5 feet above me


      Ab                  Bbm                              Gb
The crowds celebrating, drooling from each side with the thought of the trouble to wreak
Ab                             Bbm               Gb
And you hear them singing, in every room, from nursery to tomb
     Ab
