Tom: Am
F
We felt a chill from the breeze move in from the east, London pat its own back
C
Those with the means for the megaphone will always provide us the soundtrack
F
I started to diarise the coming of flies when gloom is descending
C
So when it's back round again I know it's a false start and not an ending
F
Some days I struggle to move in elephant shoes, unwilling commuter
C
Anxiety in my chest, heart under duress, taps out of sharpshooter
F
Preoccupied now for days, by nostalgia waves, I hated the first time
C
A gambler's fallacy: The more I repeat, I won't be the punchline
[Bridge]
F
You
G
On a lilo
Am
Are an island
C Em
Of the pacific
F
And then me, me, me
G
I am face down
Am
In a puddle
C E
On the high street
[Chorus]
F C Am
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
C G
We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup
F C Am
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
C G
We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup
F C
I know little, but I promise:
Am G F Em Dm
There's a slow, slow death if you want it
F
if you want it
[Verse 2]
F
In time I will have to lie, these memories are mine, not in fact my father's
C
A schoolboy hero replaced, domestic disgrace, a sad scak, a martyr
F
We here are common as dirt, three lions on our shirt, with high expectations
C
Absolve this land of a Queen who feasts while we wean a small, hopeless nation
[Bridge]
F
You
G
On a lilo
Am
Are an island
C Em
Of the pacific
F
And then me, me, me
G
I am face down
Am
In a puddle
C E
On the high street
[Chorus]
F C Am
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
C G
We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup
F C Am
I got your initials inside a heart tattoo
C G
We two in vermillion, we two a lovers' coup
F C
I know little, but I promise:
Am G F Em Dm
There's a slow, slow death if you want it
F
Yeah, I want it
