Intro
F#m A E D F#m E x2
[Verse 1]
F#m
The snow on the screen
A E
We're going light speed tonight
D
Like Bonnie and Clyde
F#m E
Except we don't die tonight
F#m
And the blister packs, coats
A E
And crumpled up notes appear
D
It's a break from the swill
F#m E
The piss they distill around here
[Pre-Chorus]
D
It's a break from the swill
F#m E
The piss they distill around here
[Chorus 1]
F#m7
Lift off of this

Metropolis
A
When this town comes down
E D
I wish, I wish
F#m7
My first degree
D
Emergency
A
Is kettled by your cavalry
E D
I wish, I wish
[Verse 2]
F#m
The cash machine queens
A E
When ambulance teams arrive
D
In their skeletal jeans
F#m E
They take refugees for wives
F#m
When their collars get felt
A E
Their glorified belts won't keep you warm
D
We'll run up the strand
F#m
Your wrist in my hand,
E F#m A
we know we're born
[Pre-Chorus]
E F#m A
Yeah I know I'm born
E F#m A
Yeah I know I'm born
[Chorus 1]

F#m E A D | x6
F#m A D
[Bridge]
D
When all of your friends are my enemies
E F#m A
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
D
And my only defence is the worst of me
E F#m A
Out in the open for all to survey
D
When you settle for less than I promised you
E F#m A
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
D
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
E F#m7
It's cause some things are just harder to say
[Outro]

A
When this town comes down
