[Tone]Capo [C]on 5th fret
Well, [F]wood burns, and [C]metal rusts,
So, [G]darling, what’s [C]to become of us,
When the [Am]weather turns, and they[C]they say it must,
Well[F]Well, we’ll need[G]need coats for the both of [C]us,
But the [F]wool is thin and [C]it’s full of holes,
And there’s [G]no heat in this [C]abandoned bus,
So will we[Am]we go alone, out[C]out on our own,
Oh,[F] darling,[G] what’s to become of[C] us
Well,[F]Well, boats sink[C]sink into the sea,
And [G]airplanes that crash like [C]computer screens,
And [Am]signals fail, [C]trains derail,
And [F]car bonnets[G]bonnets crumple like [C]magazines,
‘Til t[F]they’re put in piles [C]like stacks of tiles,
In a y[G]yard full of fridges and[C]and broken stuff,
Will we [Am]go alone out [C]on our own,
Oh, [F]darling, [G]what’s to become of [C]us
We [C]will bite our noses off [F]to spite our faces,
Both of us will[G]will rust like metal[C]metal fences in the [G]rain,
You will[C]will pour the gasoline and[F]and I will spark the matches,
We will[G] burn within our fire,[C] we will[G] burn within our flames
Well,[F]Well, yeast ferments and[C]and milk sours,
Whe[G]When it’s out of the fridge for [C]too many hours,
Well, we[Am]we lament in[C]in separate towers,
Never[F] knowing if we’re[G] brave or if we’re[C] cowards,
For they[F]they pour cement down this[C]this hole of ours,
And we’ll be[G]be stuck under stones and[C]and flowers,
Will we[Am]we go alone out [C]on our own,
Oh,[F] darling, that’s[G] what will become of[C] us
