Intro (x2): B Ebm Bbm A E Gb
 
Verse 1:
B
I'm back in Liverpool,
    Ebm             Bbm    A
And everything seems the same,
                                 E
But I worked something out last night,
                    Gb
That changed this little boy's brain,
B
A small piece of advice,
      Ebm                    Bbm    A
That took twenty-two years in the make,
                             E
And I will break it for you now,
                  Gb   E                         Gb     B
Please learn from my mistake, please learn from my mistake.
 
Chorus:
B
Let's dance to Joy Division
Gb                      A
And celebrate the irony,
                      E
Everything is going wrong,
          Gb
But we're so happy
B
Let's dance to Joy Division,
Gb                                A
And raise our glass to the ceiling,
                             E
Cause this could all go so wrong,
               Gb   E                 Gb    B
But we're just so happy, yeah we're so happy,
 
Instrumental: B Ebm Bb  A E
 
Verse 2:
B
So if you're ever feeling down,
Ebm                             A
Grab your purse and take a taxi
                        E
To the darkest side of town
           Gb
That's where we'll be,
B
And we will wait for you,
Ebm
And lead you through the dancefloor,
 A               E
Up to the DJ booth,

You know what to ask for, you know what to ask for.

Cause this could all go so wrong,
               Gb   E                 Gb    B
But we're just so happy, yeah we're so happy,
 
Bridge:

So let the love tear us apart,
       Gb                         A
I've found the cure for a broken heart,¨
