The Fall Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][C][A][A]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Under the weight of a broken nose
[C]It's not that simple
but he won't seem to [A]notice
There must be more to this
[Em]So leave those sink estates and
Let's book a holiday
We're [C]painting all the counties in blue
[A]'Cause we're already boring
And we're already hoarding

[Pre-chorus 1]
What else have we got left to accrue?
[Em]And the ramblers will say
[C]"It's got a marvelous view"
But [A]they don't know how many lives it took, no

[Chorus 1]
They'll never know what you knew
[Em]And we're so calm but we're
(fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm but we're
(fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm but we're
(fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm but we're

[Verse 2]
fucking scared of people like you
[Em]Under the weight of some Sertraline
A [C]couple Prozacs
and now I'm pumping dopa[A]mine
There must be more to this
[Em]We've got a country house now
Old dog has been put down [C]now
It's nice to be your around trees
[A]Custom license plate
On our Audi R8

[Pre-chorus 2]
How many grocers does one county need?
[Em]And the ramblers will say
[C]"It's still a marvelous view"
[A]But the treadmill still looms

[Bridge 1]
Your hedonic misuse
[Em][C][A][Am]
[Em]So come on, one and all to see the apathy
[C]The rings of gray stencils
that fill the tapestry
[A]I look to all of you
and see a different fucking species
[Am]Aspiration for a
different destination to me
[Em]Across the Pennines,
a thin blue line, a knife and a mall
[C]Would do something,
if it wasn't all so effortful
[A]'Cause I'm so high,
my brain can't even look at the [Am]fall
And when you've reached the top

[Outro 1]
there's nowhere else to go but
[C][A]
[Am][Em]
