  only way to go is forwards
C                            F
  where the future's looking bright
C                            Em
  the cutters on the bar are closing
C                                   F
  that's why we'll have to stay all night

F
 drink up there's no one in control
Em
 give in to the madness in our souls
Am              G               C
 you and me are witness to the fall


drink up before we all get shot
old friend, I'll tell you what we've got
not too much time before they bury us 

only way to go is forwards
and it's not such a pretty sight
when your head is full of embers
from the fire we lit last night


drink up, there's no one in control
give in to the madness in our souls
you and me are witness to the fall
drink up before we all get shot
old friends, I'll tell you what we've got
not too much time before they bury us


Em                    Am
we'll have moments of rest and patience
    Em                  Am
and lots of feelings of desperation
       F
and we won't

sit back looking at photographs
C
 come back to see the aftermath
G
 laughter mix fear to disintegrate
E7
your life, aah aah aah

C Em Am F
 Aha Aha
F Em F G C
 Ooh Aah

F
 drink up before we all get shot
Em
 old friend, I'll tell you what we've got
Am       G                     C
 not too much time before they bury us

Em                     Am
                       celebration
       F     C    G   E7
and we won't sit back looking at photographs
to see the aftermath
watch it disintegrate
Your cor oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
