Chorus:
[Dm]In the afterlife
You could be headed for the [A]serious strife
Now you make the scene all day
But tomorrow there'll be [Dm]Hell to pay

Chorus

[Dm]People listen attentively
I mean about future calami[A]ty
I used to think the idea was obsolete
Until I heard the old man stamping his [Dm]feet.

Chorus

This is a [Dm]place where eternally
Fire is applied to the bo[A]dy
Teeth are extruded and bones are ground
Then baked into cakes which are passed a[Dm]round

Chorus

[Dm]Beauty, talent, fame, money, refinement
Top skill and [A]brain
But all the things you try to hide
Will be revealed on the [Dm]other side.

Chorus

[Dm]Now the D and the A and the M and the N
And the A and the T and the [A]I-O-N
Lose your face, lose your name
Then get fitted for a [Dm]suit of flame

Hell

**VERSE**
E
You're better then the best
B                                A
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
                                B
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right
E
Completely unaware
B                                     A
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
                        B
Lets me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok
E                                            A

You make me smile like the sun
B                A
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
B                 E
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
A                 B
Crazy on a Sunday night
E
You make me dance like a fool
B
Forget how to breathe
A                B
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
E                   B                A
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
B                E
Ohh, you make me smile
**CHORUS**

**VERSE**
Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking the sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that
**VERSE**

**CHORUS**
You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
                 Bm
Ohh, you make me smile
**CHORUS**

**BRIDGE**
B
Don't know how I lived without you
E
Cuz everytime that I get around you
B                                A
I see the best of me inside your eyes
E
You make me smile

Got My Own Thing Now

Hot 

Strum Pattern: Up, Down (muted)
    If you count the Up, Down (muted) pattern as one beat, 
the song will go: Bb (4 beats), F (4), Bb (4), F (4), Bb (1),
A (1), F (2), Bb (1), A (1), G (4), Bb (4), F (4); then starts
over. You'll do that twice. Hope it isn't too confusing. 


 
              Bb              
They may walk hand in hand 

F
   Like lovers through the market square

Bb
Selecting leather goods,

F
   Pretending that they just don't care

         Bb      A        F
They say all the boys are monsters

Bb      A         G 
All the girls are whores

Bb                                
So when you lose the one you love

F
There's always plenty more

Bb
They may be in a club

F
   All dressed up waiting to meet you

Bb
Or in some garret bleak

F
   Despairing over what to do

Bb      A         F  
All the girls are monsters

Bb      A        G
All the boys are whores

            Bb
So when you lose the one you love

F
There's always plenty more.

C
Working the village shop
E
Putting a poster up
Am
Dreaming of anything
C              Am               Em               Dm
Dreaming of the time when you're free from all the trouble you're in

C
In the mud, on your knees
E
Trying hard not to please
Am
Anyone, all the time
C              Am
Being a rebel's fine
           Em            C
But you go all the way to being brutal

Chorus:
G
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
F
On the first bus out of town
On the first bus out of town

Let's see your kit for games
All the girls look the same
You are challenging style for running miles
You're running miles in some boy's jumper

Boo to the business world!
You know a girl who's tax free on her back and making
Plenty cash
While you are working for the joy of giving

Chorus:
You will have a boy tonight
You will have a boy tonight
And you hope that she will see
And you hope that she will see

You are in two minds
Tossing a coin to decide whether you should tell your mum
About a dose of thrush you got while licking railings

But you read in a book
That you got free from Boots
There are lotions, there are potions
You can take to hide your shame from all those prying eyes

Lazy Jane, all the time
Painting lines
You sleeping at bus stops
Wondering how you got your name
And what you're going to do about it.

Chorus

Lazy Line Painter Jane

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café
