Franz Ferdinand – Swallow Smile (Guitar)

C          E                C
I rise and curse the waking day

          E                   C             E
Curse the grime and curse the stains on the air

           C           E            C
And on the skin of the bed I'm tied within

       E                   C
Hiding from the twitch and crash

       E               C
Of the mood I hear you hatch

           E              C
You're the mother growing cold

           E                C
You're the bath now running old

      E               C            E               C
I can feel the wall between us separate the filthy scene

     E               C                E                C
As I push the door aside - swallow, swallow, swallow, smile

C D G D
hmm...hmm-hmm

         Em         D         Em    D            Em      D
But it's alright, I lie, it's Ok, I lie, it's so fine, I lie

     Em        D      Em                D            Em                   D              C D G D
It's alright, I, it's Ok here's another lie, it's so fine, here's another lie, it's so oo ooo oo ooo...

         E                C
I wander round the gulf between us

       E             C              E            C
Wonder how I came to feel as fragile as a broken bone

           E              C
As useless - I'm a broken bone

              E                C
Come on let's fight let's feel alive

              E                C
Come on let's fight let's feel alive

         E            C         E
It's the only feeling I've kept towards you

       E           C            E            C
That resembles any passion, any tremble, any word,

              E                  C               E
I'll take and turn it, twist and pissed-on, I'll return it

        C              E             C                 E
Give me more, give me, I'll swallow, swallow, swallow, smile

C D G D
hmm...hmm-hmm

         Em         D         Em    D            Em      D
But it's alright, I lie, it's Ok, I lie, it's so fine, I lie

     Em        D      Em                D            Em                   D              C D G D
It's alright, I, it's Ok here's another lie, it's so fine, here's another lie, it's so oo ooo oo ooo...

        G                     F#
And the days are oh so normal
