[Verse 1]
Fm
The snow on the screen
G# D#
We're going light speed tonight
C#
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Fm D#
Except we don't die tonight
Fm
And the blister packs, coats
G# D#
And crumpled up notes appear
C#
It's a break from the swill
Fm D#
The piss they distill around here
[Pre-Chorus]
C#
It's a break from the swill
Fm D#
The piss they distill around here
[Chorus 1]
Fm7
Lift off of this
C#
Metropolis
G#
When this town comes down
D# C#
I wish, I wish
Fm7
My first degree
C#
Emergency
G#
Is kettled by your cavalry
D# C#
I wish, I wish
[Verse 2]
Fm
The cash machine queens
G# D#
When ambulance teams arrive
C#
In their skeletal jeans
Fm D#
They take refugees for wives
Fm
When their collars get felt
G# D#
Their glorified belts won't keep you warm
C#
We'll run up the strand
Fm
Your wrist in my hand,
D# Fm G#
we know we're born
[Pre-Chorus]
D# Fm G#
Yeah I know I'm born
D# Fm G#
Yeah I know I'm born
[Chorus 1]

Fm G# C#
[Bridge]
C#
When all of your friends are my enemies
D# Fm G#
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
C#
And my only defence is the worst of me
D# Fm G#
Out in the open for all to survey
C#
When you settle for less than I promised you
D# Fm G#
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
C#
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
D# Fm7
It's cause some things are just harder to say
[Outro]

Fm7
Lift off of this

Metropolis
G#
When this town comes down
