[Intro] C Em C Em C Em C Em [Verse 1]
C                           Em
  Tobacco stains our yellow teeth

                              C
And all our fingers and underneath

                              Em
Our fingernails that clasp on sheets

                               C
As we try desperately to sleep

                            Em
Hearts are sad and eyes are tired

                                 C
And all this Red Bull keeps us wired

                               Em
It gives us wings, it gives us rings around our eyes
[Bridge 1]
F                                C
  We put three sugars in our tea

                       G
Sit to watch daytime T.V

                                 Am                G F
And laugh at mums who don’t know who the father is

                                 C
And all our girlfriends are long gone

                            G
We watch too much internet porn
Who needs love when you’ve got silicone and strap-ons? [Instrumental] C Em C Em C Em C Em C [Verse 2]
C                            Em
  And beer bloats our spoilt guts

                           C
And shit jobs keep us in ruts

                            Em
And keep us eyeing up the what’s

                                 C
And if’s and buts and maybe’s and

                    Em
Falling over in the street

                            C
Is just a part of every week

                          Em
And we lie drunkenly just staring at the stars
[Bridge 2]
F                                 C
  Remember when they were in reach

                                  G
And all the teachers used to teach

                           Am                 G F
You can do anything if you put your mind to it

                            C
Well we put our minds to it all

                                 G
But disappointment crashed the ball
We could’ve done anything, we just never quite knew it, so... [Chorus 1]
F            C            G
  Tie your scarf on tight

         Am             F
It's to be a cold night

           C            G
Tie your scarf on tight

         Am             F
It's to be a cold night

           C            G
Tie your scarf on ti-gh-t

         Am             F
It's to be a cold night

           C            G
Tie your scarf on tight

        (Am)
It's to be a cold night
[Instrumental] C Em C Em C Em C Em F C G Am
F C G G
      Oh, oh...
[Chorus 2]
F               C            G
  So tie your scarf on tight

         Am             F
It's to be a cold night

           C          G
Tie your scarf on ti-gh-t

         Am           F
It's to be a cold ni-gh-t

           C            G
Tie your scarf on ti-gh-t

         Am             F
It's to be a cold ni-ght

          C            G
Tie your scarf on tight

                        C
It's to be a cold night
