La Roux

In For The Kill

La Roux are an English electropop duo formed in 2008 in London, United Kingdom. The band consists of Elly Jackson (born 12 March 1988; singer and keyboardist) and Ben Langmaid (co-writer and co-producer). Their music is largely influenced by 80s pop music including Eurythmics, Depeche Mode, The Human League,  Heaven 17, Yazoo and Prince.  The name La Roux (pronounced lah-roo) is reported to be chosen when Elly found it in a book of baby names. La Roux comes from the mix of the French masculine word for &quot;redhead&quot; and the feminine article for &quot;the&quot;, referring to Jackson's distinctive hairstyle.

D#m
Bin there done that messed around
    G#
I'm having fun dont put me down
     B
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet

I won't let you in again, the messages I've tried to send,
my informations' just not going in,
burnin' bridges shore to shore, I'll break away from something more,
I'm not to not to love until it's cheap,
been there, done that, messed around,
I'm having fun don't put me down,
I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,


F#
This time baby
G#m
I'll be
B         F#
Bullet....proof


I won't let you turn around,
and tell me now I'm much too proud,
to walk away from something when it's dead,
do do do your dirty words come out to play when you are heard?,
there's certain things that should be left unsaid,
tick tick tick on the watch and life's too short for me to stop,
Oh baby, your time is running out,
I won't let you turn around,
and tell me now I'm much too proud,
All you do is fill me up with doubt

Bulletproof

Bbm                              F#
   It seems you have forgotten,
G#                 Bbm
   About your man.
Bbm                             F#
   Alone in the darkness,
G#                                 Bbm
   My beds a different land,
Bbm                              F#
   Your touch intensifies,
G#                           Bbm                   
   And I'm in the quicksand!

Quicksand

Intro: F#m C#

F#m
Tonight out on the streets
I'm gonna follow you
Tell you all about a scene
That you would kill for

C#
You're gonna love what's
Burning right in front of you
But you won't see it
By the light of the sun

F#m
Come out Tigerlily
You're caressing me
I'll take you up
I'll turn you on
I'll take your apathy

C#
I wouldn't lie to you Blossom
Won't you let it go
I'm gonna give you all you want
And don't you know

A
That you
                       G#
I know you better than this
                         F#m
I could be here when you call
                         D
I'll make you top of the list
                        A
And in the crush of the dark
                          G#
I'll be your light in the mist
              F#m
I can see you burning with desire
      D
For a kiss
Bm                         C#
Psychobabble all upon your lips

That's pretty much it, I play barre chords for this to get the snappy kind of electro 
but it's up to you. The rest of the song continues like this:

[verse chords]
They can sell it all they want
But you cannot agree
I don't like the taste
Of their morality
You'll find your bread and your butter
Where you fake it
And put your face in the gutter
Of a snake pit

But our communication
Is telepathy
What you give is what you get
Out of us naturally
And we can wait til the shadow grows long
And turn the page of a story
That has long since found a home

[chorus chords]
I know you better than this
I could be here when you call
I'll make you top of the list
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips

[verse chords]
Have you ever felt
Like you're being followed?
Or watched the ones that held your stare?
Turned around to see who's behind you
To find there's no one there?
Lurking in the dark
There's someone who breathes you night and day
There's a friend who wants so much more
And if they can't have you
They'll never let you walk away

[chorus chords]
And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss

And in the crush of the dark
I'll be your light in the mist
I can see you burning with desire
For a kiss
Psychobabble all upon your lips

Armour Love

VERSE:

 C
Emerging from my world
                    Bb
Imagine living in a box
                 F
And I won't come out
                          C
Until I've broken all the locks

C 
Slurring all my words
               Bb
Until something sticks
           F
But in this smoky universe
                   C 
My mind keeps playing tricks


CHORUS:

    C
And although
                     Bb
You're the only home I know
         F
As if by Magic
                  C
Thoughts of you are gone
   C                               Bb
And now I'm keeping my head in the clouds
                F
And it's not so tragic
               C
If I don't look down

    Am      G                  C
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohohohohohohoo

    Am      G                  C
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohohohohohohoo


VERSE:

   C
Submerging from your world
              Bb
And back into my bliss 
  F
A day rolled into one
              C
Is burning on my lips
  C
Blurring all your words
                  Bb
Until they don't exist
         F
And in a parallel universe
               C
It's me you can't resist


CHORUS:

    C
And although
                       Bb
You're the only home I'll ever know

As if by Magic

Thoughts of you are gone

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ohohohohohohoo

(Following part played alongside chorus)

C                                    Bb
You say I'm a rose tinted lover come on
                                F
You know I'll never love another
                                C
I won't stay a lonely lover for long

Every time you leave with her 
F#                  Ebm
Something inside me dies 
                              C#
Something inside of me dies

Cover My Eyes

Verse:

E                      D
It's been seven hours long,
A               E
And your shadow still hangs on.
E                      D
You've been two weeks gone,
     A                     E
So tonight I followed you home.
C#m           B              A
There are so many different ways
C#m     B                A
Of collecting all the strays.
C#m   B             A
The ones that get away.

Chorus:


E         D           A
Old fascinations we crave
        D
New sensations
E          D
Old fascination
             A
It's feeding my frustrations
             C#m      B
It's feeding my frustrations
    A                    D
And I haven't got the patience.


Repeat for next verse and chorus.

REFLECTIONS ARE PROTECTIONS
by La Roux

Bm                   Bb
Leaves, please be my light filter 
Am
Shine, make me a shelter
Cm                                             Gmaj*  F#maj
To hide; Cos this love makes you lose your sight
Bm                                   Bb
Now the search party's is on its way
                                Am
And the floodlight's on my face
                               Cm
All the shadows that I walk in
                                Gmaj*   F#maj
Are just my volatile second skin 


Bm             A
My reflections are protections
D                Gm
They will keep me from destruction
Bm            A
My directions are distractions
D                Gm
When you're ready come into the light


Bm    Bb


Bm                     Bb
Lines, design a pathway 
                               Am
Shine, cut out the dark shapes 
                                 Cm
To find, although I really tried 
                             Gmaj*   F#maj  
Only time is a lover's guide 
Bm                             Bb
And now the railings fall away 
                             Am
And the stencils draw a face 
                           Cm
Our outlines in the sunset
                              Gmaj*    F#maj
Are just a fragile silhouette 


Bm             A                       
My reflections are protections
D                 Gm 
They will keep me from destruction
Bm            A 
My directions are distractions 
D                Gm
When you're ready come into the light


Bm             A
My reflections are protections 
D                Gm
They will keep me from destruction 
Bm            A
My directions are distractions
D              Gm
If you leave me, I'll go back to hide

They will keep me from destruction
Bm            A 
My directions are distractions

When you're ready come into the light

Reflections Are Protections

&quot;Bulletproof&quot; went to #1 in the UK, and also topped the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play charts in the Summer of 2009. Singer Elly Jackson explained this song to the BBC Newsbeat program: &quot;For me Bulletproof is just about looking at a situation that's usually a reoccurring one. It could be to do with anything in your life - whatever you want it to be about.&quot; (Source Bulletproof Songfacts).

You PULL on your Armour AND put up defences Why do you want to? Because I'm here to protect you   So take it easy I'll make it so easy You can lay your head down And we'll leave it til tomorrow   You seem to believe you belong to somebody else When you leave me alone in this world  You know that I'm in hell When you know what it's like To be lonely and by yourself   When your life is tangled You wear your disguises But why do you need to When I'm standing here beside you?   You can lay your head down 

Elly Jackson told Steve Harris of XFM radio: &quot;It's about telling someone how you feel regardless of what you get back, and not waiting to find out if they want you or not. I was quite in to someone in quite a deep and intense way and I went overseas (Paris) and told them I like them. It all fired back in my face but that's not the point you do it for yourself.&quot; (Source In For The Kill Songfacts).

Emerging from my world Imagine living in a box And I won't come out Until I've broken all the locks  Slurring all my words Until something sticks But in this smoky universe My mind keeps playing tricks  And although You're the only home I know As if by Magic Thoughts of you are gone And now I'm keeping my head in the clouds And it's not so tragic If I don't look down  Submerging from your world And back into my bliss A day rolled into one Is burning on my lips

G                                    F              C
    You got to be the only one who knows just who I am
Em                                    F	
    You’re shining in the distance I hope I can make it through
           D	                              G                                    
Cause the only place that I want to be is right back home with you 


Verse 3:
                 C	             Am		
I guess there's so much more I have to learn
               F	 	                       G		
But if you're here with me, I know which way to turn
        Am         F		                   C
You always give me somewhere, somewhere I can run
Am	            G	       F   C
   You make it real for me 

Chorus:
    G	    Am	   F	             C
And IIIIIIIII'm running to you baby
G    Am	              F	           C
  Youuuuuuuuu are the only one who saved me
       G     Am	         F	               C
That's    whyyyyyyy I've been missing you lately
      Am	         G	       F   C
Cause you make it real for me 
Am	         G	       F   C
You make it real for me

School Friends

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      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 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

       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

It Ain't Me

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
Oh, baby, come with me out of the darkness
