Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Baby Britain feels the best[Dm]
[C]Floating over a s[F]ea of vodka
[Am]Separated from the rest[Dm]
[C]Fights problems with
[F]bigger problems
[Am]Sees the ocean fall and rise[Dm]
[C]Counts the waves that somehow[F]
Didn't hit her
[Am]Water pouring from her eyes[Dm]
[C]Alcoholic and[F] very bitter

[Chorus 1]
For [Am]someone [C]half as [F]smart
You'd [Am]be a w[C]ork of a[F]rt
You [Am]put your[C]self a[F]part[Em]
[Dm]And I can't help you until[F] you start

[Verse 2]
[Am]We knocked another couple back[Dm]
[C]The dead soldiers lined up [F]on the table
[Am]Still prepared for an attack[Dm]
[C]They didn't know they'd been
[F]disabled
[Am]Felt a wave a rush of bloo[Dm]d
[C]You won't be happy 'ti[F]l the bottle's broken
[Am]You're out swimming in the flood[Dm]
[C]You kept back you kep[F]t unspoken

[Chorus 2]
For [Am]someone [C]half as [F]smart
You'd [Am]be a w[C]ork of a[F]rt
You [Am]put your[C]self a[F]part[Em]
[Dm]And I can't help you until y[F]ou start

[Bridge 1]
[F]You got a look in your eye[D]
When you're saying good[G]bye
Like you want to say [E]"Hi"

[Interlude 1]
[Am]"Hi![C][F]
[Am]Hi!"[C][F]
[Am][C][F][C]
[Dm][F]

[Verse 3]
[Am]The light was on but it was dim[Dm]
[C]Revolver's bee[F]n turned over
[Am]And now it's ready once again[Dm]
[C]The radio was playing
[F]"Crimson and clover"
[Am]London bridge is safe and soun[Dm]d
[C]No matter what you kee[F]p repeating
[Am]Nothing's gonna drag me down[Dm]
[C]To a death that's not[F] worth cheating

[Chorus 3]
For [Am]someone [C]half as [F]smart
You'd [Am]be a w[C]ork of a[F]rt
You [Am]put your[C]self a[F]part[Em]
[Dm]And I can't help you until[F] you start

[Chorus 4]
With [Am]someone h[C]alf as s[F]mart
You'd [Am]be a w[C]ork of a[F]rt
You [Am]put your[C]self a[F]part[Em]
[Dm][F]
