Em
The snow on the screen
G D
We're going light speed tonight
C
Like Bonnie and Clyde
Em D
Except we don't die tonight
Em
And the blister packs, coats
G D
And crumpled up notes appear
C
It's a break from the swill
Em D
The piss they distill around here
[Pre-Chorus]

It's a break from the swill

Is kettled by your cavalry

[Verse 2]
Em
The cash machine queens
G D
When ambulance teams arrive
C
In their skeletal jeans
Em D
They take refugees for wives
Em
When their collars get felt
G D
Their glorified belts won't keep you warm
C
We'll run up the strand
Em
Your wrist in my hand,
D Em G
we know we're born
[Pre-Chorus]

Yeah I know I'm born

Yeah I know I'm born

Em G C
[Bridge]
C
When all of your friends are my enemies
D Em G
Wishing me gone as I'm running away
C
And my only defence is the worst of me
D Em G
Out in the open for all to survey
C
When you settle for less than I promised you
D Em G
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped
C
If it seems like it's harder to say to you
D Em7
It's cause some things are just harder to say
