I thought raves like these died in the 90s?

The forest is breathing along with us

Upper Class thugs take middle-class drugs

And we all get lowered in size 
B                              G#m          E   
This is not my scene, I should not be here

B                    G#m
Trance music bangs a comical dance

of cardboard boxes and fish 
B                                     G#m               E       C#m
We're the fairies from hell and we're all on a death wish 
        B                     G#m
This is not my scene, this is killing me 
        E                 C#m
I don't want to be here tonight 
        B                       G#m        
And the girl who can save me is well across

It all started on the school bus,
D#       G#           
You were 9 and I was 10,
C#                 F#
Remember you had a Walkman,
D#              G#                C#   F#
All I had was a middle part and a pen
            C#   F#
Oh sweet Louise,

Whatever happened to her?
C#               F#
Then it all went downhill,
D#              G#
You grew tall I stayed the same,
C#                  F#
I guess that's just puberty,
D#                    G#            C#   F#
Making us boys always play a losing game

I'm glad I'm not back in school


C#               F#
She got an older boyfriend (how could she?)
D#                  G#
Had a beard, smoked Marlboro red,
C#        F#
How can I compete with that? (how can he?)
D#                    G#                   C#    F#
I don't even know the location of the bike sheds

Oh sweet Louise

And this is my head and this is my spout
G                             D

Kill The Director

Dm        Am      C        G
I've just had the craziest week,
       Dm    Am           C              G
Like a party bag of lies, booze and then deceit.
      Dm         Am            C              G
And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud,
Dm              Am       C   G
It's theraputic somehow.


CHORUS
       F             C                 Am               G 
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep,
          Dm      Am              C               G
And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve.
       F             C                 Am             G 
So I'm moving to New York cos I've got issues with my sleep,
           Dm             Am     C              G           F 
Looks like Christmas came early, Christmas came early for me.
(carry on strumming F till next verse)


verse 2 (same chords as verse 1)
Dm,Am,C,G

I put one foot forward and ended up thirty yards back.
And am I losing touch or am I just completely off the track?
And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud,
It's theraputic somehow

..Repeat Chorus

Moving To New York

A                                G7
can you hear the sleigh bells coming around the bend
E                           D
here comes our darkest end Christmas is here
A                                G7
It?s about nights extend into the overdraft
E                                D
To scrape out what is left at the end of the year
A                                  G7
Turn back to the future off I?ve seen it before
E                                   D
maybe every year and more it?s great but not again
A                                          G7
What?s that burning! what?s that burning, my mum shrieks down
E                                          D
While she?s touching up her brow for when the family arrive

Bm                                                      D
And the red wine plummets down and we should all be in out beds
Bm                                                      D
but it?s right wing versus left til the wings fall off our heads

                  A
And is this Christmas?
               G7
Is this Christmas?
              E    D
Is this Christmas, my dear?

                A
Is this Christmas?
                G7
Is this Christmas?
                    E             D
whatever happened to our festive cheer?

A                              G7
I Can hear the sleigh bells coming around the bend
E                      D
here comes the darkest end

(Christmas is here)

Bm                                                   D
And the ice burns up the hill until we all lose our feet
Bm                                                     D
Though it never really snows it?s more like horizontal sleet

                    A
And is this Christmas?
               G7
Is this Christmas?
              E    D
Is this Christmas, my dear?

               A             
Is this Christmas? (oh no it?s Christmas)
                G7
Is this Christmas? (oh no it?s Christmas)
                E                                        D
whatever happened (oh no it?s Christmas) to that festive cheer?

                             A
Don?t you just love Christmas (oh no it?s Christmas)
                        G7
Everybody loves Christmas (oh no it?s Christmas)
                       E
Everybody loves Christmas (oh no it?s Christmas)
                     D
Everybody loves, everybody loves

Everyone it?s Christmas!      (x5)

Is This Christmas ?

G
I'm back in Liverpool,
    Bm               F#   F
And everything seems the same,
                                 C
But I worked something out last night,

That changed this little boy's brain,
G
A small piece of advice,
      Bm                    F#    F
That took twenty-two years in the make,
                             C
And I will break it for you now,
                             C
Please learn from my mistake, please learn from my mistake.


G
Let's dance to Joy Division
D                F#   F
And celebrate the irony,
                      C
Everything is going wrong,
But we're so happy
G
Let's dance to Joy Division,
D                          F#   F
And raise our glass to the ceiling,
                             C
Cause this could all go so wrong,
                             C
But we're just so happy, yeah we're so happy,


Follow the chords for the rest of the song!


So if you're ever feeling down,
Grab your purse and take a taxi
To the darkest side of town
That's where we'll be,
And we will wait for you,
And lead you through the dancefloor,
Up to the DJ booth,
You know what to ask for, you know what to ask for.

Go ask for Joy Division,
And celebrate the irony,
Everything is going wrong
But we're so happy
Go ask for Joy Division,
And raise our glass to the ceiling,
Cause this could all go so wrong,
But we're so happy, so happy,

So let the love tear us apart;
I've found a cure for a broken heart,
Let it tear us apart,
Let the love tear us apart;
I've found a cure for a broken heart,
Let it tear us apart,(Let it tear us apart)
So let the love tear us apart;
I've found a cure for a broken heart,
Let it tear us apart,(Let it tear us apart)
Let the love tear us apart;
I've found a cure for a broken heart,
Let it tear us apart,
Let it tear us apart,
Let it tear us apart.

Let's dance to Joy Division,
And celebrate the irony,
Everything is going wrong
But we're so happy
Let's dance to Joy Division,
And raise our glass to the ceiling,
Cause this could all go so wrong,
But we're so happy, yeah we're so happy,

So happy,
Yeah we're so happy,
So happy,
Yeah we're so happy

D
    East London's not a bomb site
  G
    It is a treasure chest
  D
    We use our penguin costumes
  G
    More than our evening dress
  D
    She said I should come over
  G
    Though the music's not my type
  D
    Don't you know I'd chop a limb off
  Bm         A          G
    Just to have a good time

    D                                                            G
    Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
    Bm                     A                        G
    I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
    D                                                            G

    Bm                    A                G
    The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
                                D

    This is not a weird weekend
  G                         
    It's an angry wormhole
  D 
    I'm talking like a city boy
  G 
    And drinking with a northern soul
  D
    She said I should come over
  G
    Though it's carnage at times
  D
    It still seems I'd chop a limb off
  Bm         A        G
    Before I put up a fight

I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant

C                           Am
We kick back and let the pills do the talking
C                         Am
People hear a distinct rattle when we're walking

Then there's the extra two stone that's our only guarantee

Our vivid dreams are just like big production movies
C                           Am
They get entangled well within our daily routines
C                                            D     F
So please re-think or use my trademark strategy

It's hard to smile when you're as flattened as a pancake
C                       G      Am                 G
The only tears come from our heads when we concentrate
C                                         D        F
Perhaps I'm being unjust or perhaps you agree


Dm                          F
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
            Am                       F   
I needed more than what was in those 40 milligrams
    Dm                     F
So cast away with the doctor's plans

Although I felt as grim as the reaper man

What a great achievement it was to get a hotel room this late
G             Am                    C
I bet they charge by the hour here, the kind of place where you should bring your own UV ray

It's not a big problem with me, love, you don't look that hygienic anyway

I'm only here because I want to twist the structure of my average day

We feel nothing so jump into the fog
F                           Am    G
You know that we hit the ground upright
G                  Am
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
F                       Am             G
I just hope it's your bones that shatter not mine
G                  Am
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
F                          Am     G
You know that we hit the ground upright
G                  Am            F     Am G
We feel nothing so jump into the fog


G             Am                 C
What a great achievement it was, to find someone who shirks such little self-restraint
G             Am               C
I'm a non believer but I believe in these dirty little wicked games
G                      Am               C
Snakes and ladders abandoned here love, the climb's too rough to slide back down again
G            Am        C
I'm only here because I feel the day deserves a truly sordid end

               Dm                   F            C       Em
I've made some bad decisions, I'll admit that freely
               Dm                           F               C       Em
It's just that life tastes sweeter when it's wrapped in debauchery
               Dm                          F
So drop your map, drop your plans, drop that five-step program
               C                              Em
Because there's not an ounce of faith in this leap
               Dm               F                     C
It's clear you feel nothing so jump into the fog with me

Jump Into The Fog

C
I'm a good friend and an excellent lover 
      Am                                  F
I can fool myself just like no other person can 
                   Fm
I'm turning into a twisted man 

C
I haven't got any time for selfless deeds 
       Am
What I do for you is indirectly for me 
      F                                               Fm
I'm a stubborn boy, there's nothing here that you can break or destroy 

F
Then as I count sheep in my bed 
                          Ab
A train of worry pulls us through my head 

C                            F
Last night I dreamt I died alone 
               Am 
Through all my talk of self-defeat 
          Ab            G
A fearful bomb ticks underneath 
C                           F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
              Am 
From now I'll curb the cynical speaking 
              Ab                         G
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me 

C
Someone once said I don't have any feelings 
       Am
Well I think that emotions can be misleading 
            F
And thinking back 
                              Fm
I might have nailed the coffin shut with that 
      C
As I tend to cry in a room full of laughter 
       Am
Is the cheese finally sliding off of it's cracker? 
F                                        Fm
I don't know I'll just prepare myself to let it go 

F
As I count sheep in my bed 
                        Ab
A train of worry pull through my head 

C                            F
Last night I dreamt I died alone 
               Am //A B C B on bass
Through all my talk of self-defeat 
          Ab            G
A fearful bomb ticks underneath 
C                           F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
              Am //A B C B on bass
From now I'll curb the cynical speaking 
              Ab                         G             F
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me 
              Ab                         G             F
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me 
              Ab                         G             F        Fm
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me 


C                          F
Last night I dreamt I died alone 
                      Am      
And apart from when I lost my virginity 
    C    G        Ab             G
I've never been know to frighten easily

    C   
Sometimes I like to go uptown
      Am
Where flashy people flash around
     F 
It's extortion air and I don't care
        G
You can taste the pretence in the air

      C
And I wonder what you wear tonight
    Am
The shiny black dress with the slit up the thigh
            F
Is this the fantasy that I should think
    G
Someone like you could love a creep like me

F              C       Dm      F
Your body is a weapon, love

I like my job when I do it well
     Am
It's freelance work and it pays like hell
          F
But I can get us a place with one bedroom
    G
Who needs a friend when I got you

F              C       Dm
Your body is a weapon, love

And I don't come here for the exclusivity
       Am        G       F
I just come here for the view
        G                       E7
And the minuscule chance of some closed proximity
      Am            G           F
Or an awkward conversation with you
            G
Yeah that'd be cool

And it rips me up inside
F            C         Dm     F
My body is a temple of doom
F              C
Doomed not to be
               F          C
Doomed not to be by your side

Someone protect me from the one I love

por las islas que traje del mar

De nada dudes ya
Hey, honestamente te explicaré 
de natural modo cada fenómeno
El mar, el sol, el gas, 
oh, ese es Maui hablando de más
Anguilas que, yo las enterré, 
de la palmera los cocos creé
Un consejo, una lección te doy
No me molestes si en mi descanso estoy
Am
  El tapiz que en mi piel se ve, 
F
  es el mapa de lo que gané
C
  Por donde fui provoqué mil sucesos

  Ve al pequeñín mini Maui nomás zapateando,
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ¡Hey!

I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
         C                              D
To carry love, to carry children of our own

                              G                     Em

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat
        F              C                 G
Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye
         F               C           G
You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             F                    C       
No, I don't wanna know where you been or where you're goin’
      F               Am                 G
But I know I won't be home and you'll be on your own


            F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning?
            F                 C                 G
Who's gonna rock you when the sun won't let you sleep?
             F                C               G         E7   Am
Who's waking up to drive you home when you're drunk and all alone?
             F                    C                G
Who's gonna walk you through the dark side of the morning, it ain’t me


Am        C              G         F   
Ow-ow, ah-ah the Bowery, ow-ow, ah-ah whiskey neat

Am  C  Am       C              F           C
       I had a dream, we were back to seventeen
       F                   C            G
Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories
        F              C                G
But you know I'm gonna leave behind the worst of us

Verse 1:
G                                    Em        G        Em
There was a girl who lived in London town.
G                                 Em                   G      Em
The scenes and sounds, they would only bring her down
C                                   D
She had polkadots and rubies in her dreams,
C                   D
French fantasies on cinema screens...
        C             G/B    Am     G
And she knew from the finish to the start
C      G/B      Am   G
It was bound to fall apart
C         G/B     Am   Em
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.
Em                                D
Wouldn't it be sweet if she could die from a broken heart?

G     Em      G      Em

Verse 2: (the same chords)
There was a boy who lived inside his head.
He couldn't face the world, so he turned his back instead.
He couldn't see in front of his eyes;
His fantasies of outlaws had him hypnotised...

And he knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                        F
Wouldn't it be sweet if he could die from a broken heart?

   C              G           F
Behold his golden wings
       C              G         F
And behold his bronze bow.
                 C             G         F
Can you hear his silver arrows sing?
       C               G     
As his gaylied favours glow.

(then go back to the normal verse bit)

There was a boy and girl who fell in love:
They both were in love with the stars and sky above,
Cinderella, cigarettes and scenes from the past
Were chasing them too fast for this love to ever last...

And they knew from the finish to the start
It was bound to fall apart
Thanks to Cupid's lazy dart.                         F
Wouldn't it be sweet if they could die from a broken heart? 

C   G    F    C    G

Repeat F  C  G until the end. End on G.

Arrows Of Eros

Am
There's a sadness all around us
          F                         C
There are words we're too afraid to say
                                        Am
The things that I thought would last forever
    F              G
Are changing every day

          Am
There's a hunger can't be satisfied
        F                       C
And the streets are filled with rage
C                       Am
It's time to dig deep inside ourselves
F                       G
And face the life we've made

Am
It's gonna take two of us
C                           Am
Ijust can't do it all on my own
F				  C
I see the day gettin' brighter
G                    F
Hold me a little bit tighter

C                      Am      F
Out of the darkness in hand in hand
     Am               F        G
Baby together we will make our stand
C                             Am      F
Reach out and touch me we can win somehow
