[Intro]
| G | Em | G | Em | G | Em |
[Verse 1]
C G Look up, what do you see? All of you and all of me Em Bm Fluorescent and starry. Some of them, they surprise C G Em The bus ride, I went to write this, 4:00 a.m. this letter C Fields of poppies, little pearls G Em All the boys and all the girls sweet-toothed Bm C G Each and every one a little scary Em I said your name
[Verse 2]
C I wore it like a badge of teenage film stars G Em Hash bars, cherry mash and tinfoil tiaras Bm C G Dreaming of Maria Callas Em Whoever she is C This fame thing, I don't get it G I wrap my hand in plastic to try to look through it Em Bm C G Maybelline eyes and girl-as-boy moves Em I can take you far Em This star thing, I don't get it
[Chorus]
| D | Em G | D | Em G | I'll take you over, there | D | Em G | Aluminum, tastes like fear. Adrenaline, it pulls us near
(I'll take you over, there) (I'll take you over, there)
| D | Em G | tastes like fear.
(I'll take you over, there) (I'll take you over, there)
[Verse 3]
C G Will you live to 83? Em Bm Will you ever welcome me? C G Em Will you show me something that noboby else has seen C G Smoke it, drink, here comes the flood Em Bm Anything to thin the blood C G Em These corrosives do their magic slowly, and sweet C G Phone, eat it, drink, it's just another chink Em Bm Cuts and dents they catch the light C G Em Aluminum, the weakest link C I don't want to disappoint you, I'm not G Here to anoint you Em I would lick your feet Bm C But is that the sickest move, I'd wear my own crown G Em With sadness and sorrow and who'd have thought tomorrow D Would be so strange? Em My loss, here we go again:
[Chorus]
G D Em D Aluminum tastes like fear
(I'll take you over, I'll take you there)
Em G Adrenaline, pulls us near D Tastes like fear Em Pulls us near
[Bridge]
| G | Em | x3
Bm C Look up
N.C.
And what do you see all of you and all of me
Fluorescent and starry, some of them they surprise
C G I can't look it in the eyes Em Bm Seconal, Spanish Fly, absinthe, kerosene, C Cherry-flavoured neck and collar G I can smell the sorrow on your breath Em The sweat, victory, sorrow, the smell thing D I've got it
[Outro]
G D Em D Aluminum tastes like fear
(I'll take you over, I'll take you there)
Em G Adrenaline, pulls us near D Tastes like fear Em Pulls us near D Tastes like fear Em Pulls us near D Tastes like fear Em Pulls us near
(Repeat and fade)
