Em Esus2 Em C Cadd9 C
Em Esus2 Em Cm Csus2
[Verse 1]
Am G6/A Shout if you will, but that just won't do F/A G/A C I, for one, would rather follow softer options Dm G/D I'll take the easy line, another sip of wine F E/G# C/A G/A Am And if I ignore the face you wore it's just a way of mine F G F E Am G/A F Dm C To keep from flying colours
[Verse 2]
Dm G/D Don't lay your bait while the whole world waits Dm7 E7 Am Around to see me shoot you down, it's all so second-rate F G C When we can last for days on a loving night Am G C/G D/G C Or for hours at least on a warm whisper given F6/A B Em D C Am You always pick the best time to rise to the fight G C/G D/G Em To break the hard bargain that we've driven Am G F Em Once again we're flying colours
[Verse 3]
Am G/A I thought we had it out the night before F Dm7 C And settled old scores, uh, but not the hard way Dm G/D Was it a glass too much or a smile too few? Dm7 E7 Am Did our friends all catch the needle match, did we want them to? F G C Am In a fancy restaurant we were all aglow G C/G D/G C Keeping cool by mutual permission F6/A B Em D C Am How did the conversation get to where we came to blows? G C/G D/G Em We were set up in a red condition Am G F Em And again we're flying colours
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Am G/A Shout, but you see it still won't do F Dm C With my colours on I can be just as bad as you Dm G/D Have I had a glass too much? Did I give a smile too few? Dm7 E7 Am Did our friends all catch the needle match, did we want them to? F G C Am We act our parts so well like we wrote the play G C/G D/G C All so predictable and we know it F6/A B Em D C Am We'll settle old scores now, and settle the hard way G C/G D/G Em You may not even live to outgrow it Am G F Em Once again we're flying colours G/A C G/B G#5/A# A5 Fly-ing co- lours
