Second Boys Will Be First Choice

A       A7               D
Honestly, I've not the foggiest idea,
                   E
Just what I'm doing here,
                 A
But why should I go?
    A      A7
I can't believe (I can't believe),
          D
That our home is blown (to smithereens),
                     E               A
And at night the radiation makes it glow.

           D           E
You see, I've been inclined,
    A             A7
To get you off of my mind,
       D      E
So I will, I will,
    A
Tonight.


      A        A7
It's not so bad,
          D
To be the only one left here,
            E
Though the science may seem queer,
                    A
It's all that I've got now.

   A      A7                D
I can't believe that you left me here,
             E             A                         A7
The sole survivor of the bomb that dropped from the holocaust.

           D           E
You see, I've been inclined,
    A             A7
To get you off of my mind,
       D      E
So I will, I will,
    A
Tonight.

Oh no!

     D           E
See I've been inclined,
    A             A7
To get you off of my mind,
       D       E 
So I will, I will, 
    A
Tonight.
         A7
Do it again!
      D            E
See I've been inclined,
    A             A7
To get you off of my mind,
      D       E
So I will, I will,
   A
Tonight.

      Bm          E
The only trouble is,
          A              D
You're gettin' hard to resist.
                E
But I will, I will,
       A                D
I'll take that little pill.
       E
Oh, I will

Tonight.

I Will, Tonight

G                     Am
All of the drugs, she takes at night,
Am        D     G
Keep her awake, Give me a fright,
  G                    Am
I don't know what goes through her mind,
     Am  D     G
When she takes drugs.

G                   Am
All of the lies she tells herself,
Am         D         G
Won't be believed by anybody else.
    G                Am             
And I can't buy just what she sells,
     Am  D     G 
When she tells lies.

        C     D   G
And she takes her pills, 
        C     D   G
And she tells her lies,
        C         D
And she breaks my heart,
    G          Em 
And breaks her word,
    C       D       G
But I still act sur-, surprised.

G              Am          Am         D
Every kiss she gives away, might be a good time,
G                 G                Am
But you know, the sad thing is the boys all say,
      Am        D    G
She's something of a slut.

        C     D   G
And she takes her pills, 
        C     D   G
And she tells her lies,
        C         D*
And she breaks my heart,
    G          Em 
And breaks her word,
    C       D   G
But I still act surprised.

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
       Am              F                G
I know there's nothing that can stop us now
F              Am                 G   C
