Intro
Cm D# A# G# Cm A# x2
[Verse 1]
Cm
The snow on the screen
D# A#
We're going light speed tonight
G#
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Cm A#
Except we don't die tonight
Cm
And the blister packs, coats
D# A#
And crumpled up notes appear
G#
It's a break from the swill
Cm A#
The piss they distill around here
[Pre-Chorus]
G#
It's a break from the swill
Cm A#
The piss they distill around here
[Chorus 1]
Cm7
Lift off of this
G#
Metropolis
D#
When this town comes down
A# G#
I wish, I wish
Cm7
My first degree
G#
Emergency
D#
Is kettled by your cavalry
A# G#
I wish, I wish
[Verse 2]
Cm
The cash machine queens
D# A#
When ambulance teams arrive
G#
In their skeletal jeans
Cm A#
They take refugees for wives
Cm
When their collars get felt
D# A#
Their glorified belts won't keep you warm
G#
We'll run up the strand
Cm
Your wrist in my hand,
A# Cm D#
we know we're born
[Pre-Chorus]
A# Cm D#
Yeah I know I'm born
A# Cm D#
Yeah I know I'm born
[Chorus 1]
Cm7
Lift off of this

Metropolis
D#
When this town comes down

My first degree

Emergency

Is kettled by your cavalry

[Interlude]
Cm D# G# G# |
Cm A# D# G# | x6
Cm D# G#
[Bridge]
G#
When all of your friends are my enemies
A# Cm D#
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
G#
And my only defence is the worst of me
A# Cm D#
Out in the open for all to survey
G#
When you settle for less than I promised you
A# Cm D#
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
G#
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
A# Cm7
It's cause some things are just harder to say
[Outro]
(Bm7) G# D# A# G#
Ooooohho Ohooooooo Ohhohhooo Ohohooooo
Cm7
Lift off of this
G#
Metropolis
D#
When this town comes down
A# G# G#
I wish, I wish
