We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]
[G][D]
[G][D][G][D]
[C][D][G][D]
[G][D][A][D]
[G][D][Bm][G]
By the [D]light of the LED display

[Verse 1]
of the VCR recorder
You kiss my neck,
I whisper in your ear: this is my downfall
As [Bm]you squint and you grimace,
we both know your heart's not [F#m]in it[D][G]

[Verse 2]
By the [D]glow of a thousand fireflys in a
travelodge en-suite
They think the future's bright
as halogen, we know it's pretty bleak
And I am try[Bm]ing to be sexy,
biting at the air that falls in [D]front[G][D][A][D][C]
[D]of [G]me[D][G]
[D]Your

[Verse 3]
[A][D][G][D]
[Bm]tele[G]gram[D]s are more
and more less detailed by the day
And all the characters are strangers and
the pubs have different names
I tell [Bm]a joke, I'd like to meet them but
they loathe me and I hate them [F#m]back[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Ab sence makes the heart grow fonder,
fondness makes the absence longer
Length loses my interest,
I'm a realist, I'm insatiable
[Em]Swapped counting days until I fly,
with hours before your reply
[F#m][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 5]
[D]You said he got his teeth [Esus4]fixed[Em][D]
[G]I'm gonna [D]break them
I've got a heart on [Esus4]fire
[Em][Asus4][G][D]
He said he's got his sights
[Esus4]set[Em][D]
On getting to you
I've got fist on [Bm]fire
[G]

[Verse 6]
[D]
[C#]And you feel terrified at
[F#m]the thought [D]of being left behind
Of [Asus4]losing everybody,
the ne[Em]ces [D]sity o[Esus4]f dying
[D]Oh [Em]we kid ours[Bm]elves there's
future in the [D]fucking
[C#]But there is no fucking fu t[Em]ure
I'm [D]just [Em]practising my [G]accents,
picking at old [D]sutures

[Verse 7]
I taught myself the [D]only way
to vaguely get along in love
Is to like the other slightly less
than you get in return
[Bm]I keep feeling like I'm being undercut
[F#m][D]

[Verse 8]
[G]Charlot[D]te says it's more
constructive than the one in Canada
When you got drunk, ate loads of crisps
And threw up by a football pitch
[Bm]I know it is
And really that's what worries me
I feel like I [F#m]should [D]hurt[G]
[D][Asus4][A][D]

[Verse 9]
You said he's got his teeth [Em]fixed[D]
[G]I'm gon[D]na break them
I've got a heart on [Em]fire[G][D]
He said he's got his sights [Em]set
[G]I'm getting [D]to you
I've got fist on fire
[Bm]

[Verse 10]
[G]
[D]I cannot emphasise
enough that my [Abdim]body
Is a [Bb]badly designed,
poorly put together vessel
Harbouring these [D]diminish[A]ing,
[C#]so called vital or[D]gans
[C#]Hope my [A]heart goes first
I hope my [G]heart hoes [D]first

[Verse 11]
[D]We are [Esus4]beautiful[D][Esus4]

[Outro 1]
We are doomed
[D][G][D][D]
[Abdim][D]
