Intro
A#m C# G# F# A#m G# x2
[Verse 1]
A#m
The snow on the screen
C# G#
We're going light speed tonight
F#
Like Bonnie and Clyde
A#m G#
Except we don't die tonight
A#m
And the blister packs, coats
C# G#
And crumpled up notes appear
F#
It's a break from the swill
A#m G#
The piss they distill around here
[Pre-Chorus]
F#
It's a break from the swill
A#m G#
The piss they distill around here
[Chorus 1]
A#m7
Lift off of this
F#
Metropolis
C#
When this town comes down
G# F#
I wish, I wish
A#m7
My first degree
F#
Emergency
C#
Is kettled by your cavalry
G# F#
I wish, I wish
[Verse 2]
A#m
The cash machine queens
C# G#
When ambulance teams arrive
F#
In their skeletal jeans
A#m G#
They take refugees for wives
A#m
When their collars get felt
C# G#
Their glorified belts won't keep you warm
F#
We'll run up the strand
A#m
Your wrist in my hand,
G# A#m C#
we know we're born
[Pre-Chorus]
G# A#m C#
Yeah I know I'm born
G# A#m C#
Yeah I know I'm born
[Chorus 1]
A#m7
Lift off of this
F#
Metropolis
C#
When this town comes down
G# F#
I wish, I wish
A#m7
My first degree
F#
Emergency
C#
Is kettled by your cavalry
G# F#
I wish, I wish
[Interlude]
A#m C# F# F# |
A#m G# C# F# | x6
A#m C# F#
[Bridge]
F#
When all of your friends are my enemies
G# A#m C#
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
F#
And my only defence is the worst of me
G# A#m C#
Out in the open for all to survey
F#
When you settle for less than I promised you
G# A#m C#
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
F#
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
G# A#m7
It's cause some things are just harder to say
[Outro]
(Bm7) F# C# G# F#
Ooooohho Ohooooooo Ohhohhooo Ohohooooo
A#m7
Lift off of this
F#
Metropolis
C#
When this town comes down
G# F# F#
I wish, I wish
