Laughing Gas

Jon Fratelli


Tom: F#m

A                        D
Let me in or let me go I swear, out there,
E
Nobody else will ever know what you’re thinking
A                                  D
All your angels will not save your skin, You’ll spin
                                    E
Please don’t forget that you’re the end and the beginning

[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#m               D                    A        E
In your own sweet time you’ll see your neuroses unwind
               F#m          D                     A              E
There'll be no rain on your parade there'll be no devils on your mind

[Chorus 1]
           D                      E
So darling break out the laughing gas
A                   F#m
You and I know this joke soon will pass
D                 E                    A
Give me your last request and I’ll see what I can do
   F#7                 Bm
To paint your grey skies blue before I pass
           D        Dm
That’s all I ask... break out the laughing gas

[Verse 2]
A                                 D
Well let me go or let me in, it’s time, a sign
                         E
Please don’t pretend you just can’t feel it
A                                    D
All your ships are sailing, all your bridges burned
                      E
Show me your heart so I can steal it

[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#m               D                     A                   E
In your own sweet time you’ll find that all your words will rhyme
               F#m             D                     A              E
There’ll be no blood upon your tracks there’ll be no thread left to unwind

[Chorus 2]
           D                      E
So darling break out the laughing gas
A                   F#m
You and I know this joke soon will pass
D                 E                    A
Give me your last request and I’ll see what I can do
   F#7                 Bm
To paint your grey skies blue before I pass
            D       Dm                     E
That’s all I ask... break out the laughing gas

[Bridge]
              A          D         E
Take all your ideals and well told tales
         A           D     E
I know a prayer that never fails
                F#m         D                  E
Don’t hold your breath, you dreamed this dream well
                F#m              D               E 
Just click your heels and you’ll soon break this unholy spell
E
This hell Is only a story you tell

[Solo]
D E A F#m

[Chorus 3]
           D                      E
So darling break out the laughing gas
A                           F#m
Let go, let this soap opera be your last
D                       E
Set all these fools on fire
A                           C#
Why should you not have all that you desire
           D                      E
So darling break out the laughing gas
A                   F#m
You and I know this joke soon will pass
D                 E                    A
Give me your last request and I’ll see what I can do
   F#7                 Bm              D
To paint your grey skies blue before I pass
Dm                     A
break out the laughing gas
