- You can probably transpose the chords to play it easier with -
- a capo on the first fret, but I don't have a capo so this -

- Verse -
G# (riff)
Lights are fading, the feeling is back
This is the closest thing to disaster
Keep on fading, Snow White into black
Ebm Bbm
The kind of thing you laugh about after
- Bridge -
C# G#
And we were stuck, stacking the misery
C# Fm
Four long days, in an ugly town
C# C#m G#
And we pretend to know about misery
F# Fm
And never felt the cold sun beating down
G# (riff)
But you will soon
- Instrumental Break with G# riff -
- Verse -
Watching TV, and flirting with fate
He drank my cold soul under the table
Fame and fever, to risk and to lay
You shouldn't cry you're willing and able
- Bridge -
I have locked, in a great image here
Avoiding the cop, in an ugly stare
It's staring back, it's what you bargained for
You never felt the cold sun beating down
- Middle 8 -
Bb
But you will soon
C#
You had this family to support
Ebm Bbm
One house and three young children, biting at your hands
F
I don't pretend to understand
Bbm Eb
But listen, listen, listen, I, I, I, I, I
G# Eb Fm
Have never liked that look in your eyes
Bbm Eb
And I, I, I, I, I
G# Eb Fm
Am still screaming, shouting "please, please, forgive me
B
for what I've done"
Bbm
What have I done?
C#
Why is this taking, so long?
- Outro -
G# Bbm
The leather's cold but
Cm C#
The engine is warm
G# Bbm Cm C#
I think of home, I think of the sweet life
G# Bbm Cm C#
Of sweating sunshine, and sandals and shorts
Ebm Bbm
We have the Field Mice playing on the hi-fi
C# G#
We got bored, in our own living room
C# Fm
So we got stuck with an ugly face
C# C#m G#
That kills your days, and makes you forget a lot
F# Fm C#
And then you feel the hot sun beating down, and you start to cry
