Tone: [Db]
Intro:
[Db]
[Ab]The clouds salivating, dr[Bbm]drooling from the sky at the th[Gb]thought of the trouble to wreak
[Ab]'til lightning breached their bellies, Cae[Bbm]Caesarean section washes pig[Gb]pigment from every street
And [Ab]it's high tide, as the sewers rise, and the dr[Bbm]drains have become obso[Gb]obsolete
Seems th[Ab]ere's no place in this town, for so[Bbm]mething as pure as you s[Gb]eem
[Ab]I'm diving into headers, [Bbm]put this pretty face where the b[Gb]boots are flying in
[Ab]Been bobbing rotten apples, [Bbm]water to my waist, in a s[Gb]shark-infested bin
[Ab]People laugh, they will call it folly, but [Bbm]we connected like a Ye[Gb]Yeboah volley
[Ab]I'm totting up my worth in stamps, but d[Bbm]doing it in se[Gb]second class
I h[Db]eard that it h[Bbm]urts, and I s[Db]aid, oh
[Ab]Two wrists, two wrist watches, [Bbm]tick-tick-tocking, second h[Gb]hands slightly out of time
[Ab]a constant subtle reminder, [Bbm]one of us will be gone before b[Gb]bells of the other chime
[Ab]I requested a room with a view, in the m[Bbm]middle of a war be[Gb]between me and you
And l[Ab]eave with all the dignity of a m[Bbm]issed Pan[Db]enka pe[Gb]nalty
I h[Db]eard that it h[Bbm]urts, and I s[Db]aid
I'll be g[Bbm]loomy 'til they g[F]lue me in the a[Gb]rms of she who loves me
She s[Db]smiled at a [Bbm]joke, but I s[F]said
I'll be g[Bbm]loomy 'til they g[F]lue me in the a[Gb]rms of she who loves me
'til the [Bbm]rats and worms are a[F]all interned at l[Gb]least 5 feet above me
Interlude:
[Db]
[Ab]Draw me like one of your fence, girls, s[Bbm]stood erect as a post, h[Gb]head to toe in creosote
[Ab]We're blocking out all the lapsed-punks, l[Bbm]listen them piss and moan, cou[Gb]counting out major notes
[Ab]Banned from every bar in town, s[Bbm]snooker balls a w[Gb]weapon made
[Ab]Snooker cue held upside down, pr[Bbm]propelled like helico[Gb]helicopter blade
I h[Db]eard that it h[Bbm]urts, and I s[Db]aid
I'll be g[Bbm]loomy 'til they g[F]lue me in the a[Gb]rms of she who loves me
She s[Db]smiled at a [Bbm]joke, but I s[F]said
I'll be g[Bbm]loomy 'til they g[F]lue me in the a[Gb]rms of she who loves me
'til the [Bbm]rats and worms are a[F]all interned at l[Gb]least 5 feet above me
I'll be g[Bbm]loomy 'til they g[F]lue me in the a[Gb]rms of she who loves me
'til the [Bbm]rats and worms are a[F]all interned at l[Gb]least 5 feet above me
The cr[Ab]owds celebrating, dr[Bbm]ooling from each side with the th[Gb]ought of the trouble to wreak
[Ab]And you hear them singing, in e[Bbm]every room, from nu[Gb]nursery to tomb
Ex-bo[Ab]Ex-boyfriend give us a song, ex-boyfriend, boyfriend give us a song
Ex-boyfriend give us a song, ex-boyfriend, boyfriend give us a song
