Intro
Gm A# F D# Gm F x2
[Verse 1]
Gm
The snow on the screen
A# F
We're going light speed tonight
D#
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Gm F
Except we don't die tonight
Gm
And the blister packs, coats
A# F
And crumpled up notes appear
D#
It's a break from the swill
Gm F
The piss they distill around here
[Pre-Chorus]
D#
It's a break from the swill
Gm F
The piss they distill around here
[Chorus 1]
Gm7
Lift off of this
D#
Metropolis
A#
When this town comes down
F D#
I wish, I wish
Gm7
My first degree
D#
Emergency
A#
Is kettled by your cavalry
F D#
I wish, I wish
[Verse 2]
Gm
The cash machine queens
A# F
When ambulance teams arrive
D#
In their skeletal jeans
Gm F
They take refugees for wives
Gm
When their collars get felt
A# F
Their glorified belts won't keep you warm
D#
We'll run up the strand
Gm
Your wrist in my hand,
F Gm A#
we know we're born
[Pre-Chorus]
F Gm A#
Yeah I know I'm born
F Gm A#
Yeah I know I'm born
[Chorus 1]
Gm7
Lift off of this

[Interlude]
Gm A# D# D# |
Gm F A# D# | x6
Gm A# D#
[Bridge]
D#
When all of your friends are my enemies
F Gm A#
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
D#
And my only defence is the worst of me
F Gm A#
Out in the open for all to survey
D#
When you settle for less than I promised you
F Gm A#
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
D#
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
F Gm7
It's cause some things are just harder to say
[Outro]
(Bm7) D# A# F D#
Ooooohho Ohooooooo Ohhohhooo Ohohooooo
Gm7
Lift off of this
D#
Metropolis
A#
When this town comes down
F D# D#
I wish, I wish
