Pet Shop Boys – Friendly Fire (Guitar)

   Eb
An inspirational tirade against me

Ab                Bb
How to explain my life

Eb
Girls to the left of me

Eb
Boys to the right of me

Ab                  Bb
Neither husband nor wife

           Eb                   Cm
Though the days are filled with pain

         Ab            Abm
There is no one who'll explain

       Eb             B
Why I'm coming under

Abm         Fm    Bm
Shot in the fatal cause

        Gm       Cm
Of rock 'n' roll

            Fm7
But there's no one

       Bb
Really no one

       Eb
To say why I endure

      Eb
Under force majeure

Ab                       Bb
Slander without shame or tact

Eb
I who studied make up, mime and Buddha

           Ab                   Bb
Who taught two generations to react

      Eb             Cm
About me the critics lied

  Ab                  Abm
I ignored them and survived

         Eb              B
In spite of coming under

Ab          Fm    Bdim
Shot in the fatal cause

        Gm       Cm
Of rock 'n' roll

            Fm7
But there's nothing

       Bb7          Eb
Really nothing to deny

Gb          Bbm
When I look back

   Abm                  Db
My eyes are filled with tears

D             Db7
Danger to mascara

Gbm            Bm    Bb7
Applause to my peers

     Eb
When fame sustained me

    Eb
And arenas acclaimed me

  Ab                        Bb
I floated through life on a cloud

   Eb
Of love and insanity

    Eb
And pagan profanity

  Ab                   Bb
Before a worshipping crowd

       Eb            Cm
Now my status is ill-defined

      Ab         Abm
As an icon I'm inclined

     Eb            B
To be coming under

Abm         Fm    Bdim
Shot in the fatal cause

        Gm       Cm
Of rock 'n' roll

        Fm7
But whatever

        Bb
Dull or clever

           Gm         Cm
Points they've scored

       Fm7
I have never

      Bb
Oh no never

       Eb
Been ignored
