Am                   F
  So they say you're troubled, boy

Am               F
Just because you like to destroy

Am                            F
All the things that bring the idiots joy

     G                     E5
Well,  what's wrong with a little destruction?

Am                    F
  And the Kunst won't talk to you

 Am                  F
'Cause you kissed St Rollox adieu

 Am                       F
'Cause you robbed a supermarket or two

          G                      E5
Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?
[Pre-Chorus]
C                   A#5  A5
 Did I see you in a limousine?

C                          A#5  A5
Fling out the fish and the unleavened?

         C                     A#5         A5
Turn the rich into wine as you walk on the mean
[Chorus]
          G                Am
Well, the   fallen are the virtuous among us

      C               G
Walk among us, never judge us

               (Am)
Yeah, we're all blessed
[Interlude] | Am F | Am F | Am F | G E5 | [Verse 2]
Am                F
  So we stole and drank champagne

       Am                         F
On the seventh seal, you said you never feel pain

   Am                         F
"I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"

   G                               E5
"I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation"

Am                    F
  In my blood, I felt bubbles burst

            Am                F
There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst

         Am               F
You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt

  G                  E5
I fall to the floor, fainting at the sight of blood
[Pre-Chorus]
C                   A#5  A5
 Did I see you in a limousine?

C                          A#5  A5
Fling out the fish and the unleavened?

             C                A#5        A5
You turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean

        C                           A#5     A5
Be they Magdalene or virgin, you've already been

        C                      A#5     A5
You've already been, and we've already seen
[Chorus]
          G              Am
Well, the fallen are the virtuous among us

      C               G
Walk among us, never judge us

      C
To be blessed
[Bridge]

La, la-la-la

La, la-la-la

La-la, la-la

         F         G        G
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
[Verse 3]
Am                  F
  So I'm sorry if I ever resisted

  Am                    F
I never had a doubt you ever existed

  Am                       F
I only have a problem when people insist on

G                  E5                 Am
Taking their hate, placing it on your name

                F
Some say you're troubled, boy

Am               F
Just because you like to destroy

    Am                     F
You are the word, the word is 'destroy'

  G                  E5
I break this bottle, think of you fondly
[Pre-Chorus]
C                   A#5  A5
 Did I see you in a limousine?

C                             A#5  A5
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened?

       C                         A#5       A5
To the whore in a hostel and the scum of a scheme

         C               A#5         A5
Turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean

           C                      A#5         A5
It's not a jag in the arm, it's a nail in the beam

       C                 A#5          A5
On the barren Earth, you scatter your seed

        C                           A#5     A5
Be they Magdalene or virgin, you've already been

       C                    A#5      A5
You've already been, you've already seen

         C       A#5  A5
That the one who,

C       A#5  A5
one who,

C       A#5  A5
one who,

C       A#5  A5
one who,

             C                    A#5     A5
Well, you've already been, you've already seen
[Chorus]
         G              Am
That the fallen are the virtuous among us

      C                   G
Walk among us, oh, if you judge us

          C
We're all damned
