Chords

[Verse 1]
Fm
Slip from the trees to the dirt to the menace

       Bb
To the wild to the car, under snow, cut to ribbons

       Bb
Like a coral to your shin, like a manacle to swing

Fm
Fresh from the breast, now a river running fat

       Bb
To the manor born a rat, to the manor born a flea

     Bb
To a flood to a drain, now a rubber, now a chain
[Bridge]
F            Dm
I was in the war

F               Dm
You were in the war
[Verse 2]
Fm
Plump from the sugar-water pump

                      Bb
With the city at your back to the cannon with a match

       Bb
From a milk into a mass grave never mind that, I can take that

Fm
Bones in a bowl like a toad-in-the-hole

         Bb
Take the shape of the mould

       Bb
Like a mummy on a pole and a merry little head bob around when you're dead
[Bridge]
F           Dm
I was on my knees

F                Dm
You were on your knees
[Chorus]
       Fm
And no reptiles

                         Bb
Just soft boiled eggs in shirts and ties

                               Fm
Waiting for the flashing green man

                       Bb
Quivering and wobbling just like all the eggs you know
[Bridge]
F                   Dm
I’m going to kill a stranger

So don’t you be a stranger

Oh baby, it’s alright

It’s alright to feel like a fat child in a pushchair

              C
Old enough to run

              Bb           Dm
Old enough to fire a gun

Oh baby, it’s alright

              C
Old enough to run

              Bb           Dm
Old enough to fire a gun

Just give me this one night

     C            Bb
Just one night to feel

                       F
Like I might be on the right path

                       C
The path that takes me home
