Gm Gm Bb Bb F F
Something kind of hit me today, I looked at you and
Dm Dm D D Eb Eb Bb Bb
Wondered if you saw things my way
F F D D Gm Gm
People will hold us to blame
Gm7 Gm7 Eb Eb C C F F
It hit me today, it hit me today
Gm Gm Bb Bb F F
We're taking it hard all the time
Dm Dm D D Eb Eb Bb Bb
Why don't we pass it by, just reply you've changed your mind
F F D D Gm Gm
We're fighting with the eyes of the blind
Gm7 Gm7 Eb Eb C C F F Eb Eb Dm Dm Bb Bb
Taking it hard, taking it hard, yet now
Ab Ab Gb Gb F F C C
We feel that we are paper, choking on you nightly
Bb Bb Ab Ab Gb Gb F F
They tell me son, we want you, be elusive, but don't walk far
C C Bb Bb Ab Ab Gb Gb
For we're breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin
F F C C Bb Bb Ab Ab
For you're dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy
Gb Gb F F
You're just an ally of the leecher
C C Bb Bb Ab Ab Gb Gb
Locator for the virgin King, but I love you in your fuck me pumps
F F C C
And your nimble dress that trails
Bb Bb Ab Ab Gb Gb F F
Oh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the rails
C C Bb Bb Ab Ab
Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said
Gb Gb D D C C D D C C
We are the dead


Gm Gm Bb Bb F F
One thing kind of touched me today
Dm Dm D D Eb Eb Bb Bb
I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid
F F D D Gm Gm
Pressing our love through the night
Gm7 Gm7 Eb Eb C C F F
Knowing it's right, knowing it's right
Gm Gm Bb Bb F F
Now I'm hoping some one will care
Dm Dm D D Eb Eb Bb Bb
Living on the breath of a hope to be shared
F F D D Gm Gm
Trusting on the sons of our love
Gm7 Gm7 Eb Eb C C F F Eb Eb Dm Dm Bb Bb
That someone will care, someone will care, but now


Ab Ab Gb Gb F F C C
We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Bb Bb Ab Ab Gb Gb F F
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
C C Bb Bb Ab Ab Gb Gb
It's a twenty four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
F F C C
And the streets are full of press men
Bb Bb Ab Ab
Bent on getting hung and buried
Gb Gb F F C C Bb Bb
And the legendary curtains are drawn round Baby Bankrupt
Ab Ab Gb Gb
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
F F C C
It's the theater of financiers
Bb Bb Ab Ab
Count them, fifty round a table
Gb Gb F F
White and dressed to kill
C C Bb Bb
Oh caress yourself, my juicy
Ab Ab Gb Gb
For my hands have all but withered
F F C C Bb Bb Ab Ab
Oh dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairs
Gb Gb F F
Because of all we've seen
C C Bb Bb
Because of all we've said
D D C C D D
We are the dead
C C D D C C D D
We are the dead
C C D D C C D D C C
We are the dead
