Chords

[Intro] Bm D A G Bm A x2 [Verse 1]
      Bm
The snow on the screen

       D                   A
We're going light speed tonight

      G
Like Bonnie and Clyde

   Bm                  A
Except we don't die tonight

          Bm
And the blister packs, coats

      D                  A
And crumpled up notes appear

         G
It's a break from the swill

     Bm                 A
The piss they distill around here
[Pre-Chorus]
         G
It's a break from the swill

     Bm                 A
The piss they distill around here
[Chorus 1]
Bm7
  Lift off of this

G
  Metropolis

D
  When this town comes down

A        G
  I wish, I wish

Bm7
  My first degree

G
  Emergency

D
  Is kettled by your cavalry

A        G
  I wish, I wish
[Verse 2]
     Bm
The cash machine queens

     D                  A
When ambulance teams arrive

           G
In their skeletal jeans

      Bm                A
They take refugees for wives

            Bm
When their collars get felt

        D                    A
Their glorified belts won't keep you warm

       G
We'll run up the strand

       Bm
Your wrist in my hand,

     A             Bm  D
we know we're born
[Pre-Chorus]
         A           Bm D
Yeah I know I'm born

         A           Bm D
Yeah I know I'm born
[Chorus 1]

[Interlude] Bm D G G | Bm A D G | x6 Bm D G [Bridge]
     G
When all of your friends are my enemies

            A                    Bm D
Wishing me gone as I'm running away

       G
And my only defence is the worst of me

           A                   Bm D
Out in the open for all to survey

          G
When you settle for less than I promised you

             A                           Bm D
Knowing that all of our barrels are scraped

       G
If it seems like it's harder to say to you

       A                                   Bm7
It's cause some things are just harder to say
[Outro]
(Bm7)         G         D           A       G
 Ooooohho Ohooooooo  Ohhohhooo  Ohohooooo

Bm7

G
  Metropolis

A        G        G
  I wish, I wish
