[Verse 1]
A#
Trains out my window
Gm
Running in lines
A#

D# A# Gm Dm D#
F vision of Theresa, toothless and tears in her eyes
D#maj7 A# Gm A#

D# A#
Danny are you listening?
Gm Dm D#
The pipes, the pipes are choking

The roses are out of season
Gm Dm D# F A#
We find red in the eyes of the bleeders we lionise

Gm Dm D#
The pipes, the pipes are choking
