Capo 1

(no chords)
I'm a princess cut from marble, smoother than a storm
And the scars that mark my body, they're silver and gold...


   D                   
My blood is a flood of rubies, precious stones
   C                                            Gm
It keeps my veins hot, the fires find a home in me
                                      C
I move through town, I'm quiet like a fire
       Gm                                  D
And my necklace is of rope, I tie it and untie it




        Gm
And our people talk to me, but nothing ever hits
   Bb                              F
So people talk to me, and all the voices just burn the holes
              Gm
I'm going in (whole)



                                Dm
This is the start of how it all ends
                                               F
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
            
I'm speeding up and this is the
C                           Dm                       Gm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
                                  Dm
We rip the start, the colors disappear
                                                 F
I never watch the stars there's so much down here

So I just try to keep up with them
C                           Dm                       Gm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart

 

                                           C
I dream all year, but they're not the same kinds
        Gm                                             D
And the shivers move down my shoulder blades in double time




        Gm
And now people talk to me, I'm slipping out of reach now
Bb                                F
People talk to me, and all their faces blur bright, I got my
Gm                                           
Fingers laced together and I made a little prison
        F
And I'm locking up everyone who ever laid a finger on me
              Gm
I'm going in (whole)




                                Dm
This is the start of how it all ends
                                               F
They used to shout my name, now they whisper it
            
I'm speeding up and this is the
C                           Dm                       Gm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart
                                  Dm
We rip the start, the colors disappear
                                                 F
I never watch the stars there's so much down here

So I just try to keep up with them
C                           Dm                       Gm
Red, orange, yellow flicker beat sparking up my heart, oh oh oh
                Dm
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat
                    F
Sparking up my heart, oh oh oh
                C                           Dm                   Gm
And this is the red, orange, yellow flicker beat-beat-beat-beat, mmmm

[Intro]
C
Night, midnight, lose my mind
Em
Night, midnight, lose my mind
D  
Night, midnight, lose my mind
D  
Night, midnight


[Verse 1]
C                           Em                       D  
  Oh God, I'm clean out of air in my lungs, it's all gone
                        D                              C
Played it so nonchalant, it's time we danced with the truth
Em                      D         D  
   Move along with the truth, ooh-ooh (hey)
C                                 Em                           D  
  We're sleeping through all the days, I'm acting like I don't see 
                  D                      C
Every ribbon you used to tie yourself to me


[Pre-Chorus 1]
       Em               
But my hips have missed your hips, so let's get to know the kicks
          D  
Will you sway with me, go astray with me? 


[Chorus 1]
       C      
(Ah-ha-ah) King and queen of the weekend
Em                                   D         
   Ain't a pill that could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
   When you dream with a fever
Em                                  D         
   Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
These are the games of the weekend
Em                               D             
   We pretend that we just don't care, but we care (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
Ah, when you dream with a fever 
Em                                  D         
   Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)


[Verse 2]
   C                    Em                        
Oh God, I'm closing my teeth, around this liquor wet
D                       D                          C
Limelight, lose my mind, I know you're feeling it too
Em                          D          D    
   Can we keep up with the ruse, ah-ah-ah (hey)
C                          Em                         D    
  B-bodies all through my house, I know this story by heart
N.C.                                                       C
Jack and Jill get fucked up and possessive when they get dark


[Pre-Chorus 2]
       Em               
But my hips have missed your hips, so let's get to know the kicks
          D  
Will you sway with me, go astray with me? 


[Chorus 2]
       C      
(Ah-ha-ah) King and queen of the weekend
Em                                   D         
   Ain't a pill that could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
   When you dream with a fever
Em                                  D         
   Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
These are the games of the weekend
Em                               D             
   We pretend that we just don't care, but we care (but what will we do when we're sober?)
C
Ah, when you dream with a fever
Em                                  D         
   Bet you wish you could touch our rush (but what will we do when we're sober?)


[Bridge]
C
Midnight, we're fading
     Em
'Til daylight, we're jaded
   D                           D  
We know that it's over, in the morning
                               C
You'll be dancing with all the heartache
                     Em
And the treason, the fantasies of leaving
       D                                D  
But we know that when it's over, in the morning
                        C  Em
You'll be dancing with us, oh
              D   
Dancing with us, oh (but what will we do when we're sober?)
                        C                           Em
You'll be dancing with us (can you feel it, can you feel it)
              D   
Dancing with us, us (but what will we do when we're sober?)


[Outro]
 N.C.
 Night, midnight, lose my mind
(Light, when you get to my)
 N.C.
 Night, midnight, lose my mind
(Light, when you get to my)

             F 
Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my store 
Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Verse 2]
            F 
The truth is, I am toy
                Dm
that people enjoy
                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability

You're a little much for me"

So they pull back make other plans

I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

[Verse 1]
               Am              Em                     G 
A couple rebel top gun pilots flying with nowhere to be, oh
                     Am   
Don't know you super well but I think that you
Em                    G
Might be the same as me, behave abnormally


[Pre-Chorus 1]

We'll end up painted on the road, red and chrome
        Em                  G
All the broken glass sparkling, I guess we're partying

So let's let things come out of the woodwork
              Em

Homemade Dynamite

Wait 'til you're announced
 
 
We've not yet lost all our graces
 
 
The hounds will stay in chains
 
 
Look upon your greatness
 
 
That you'll send
 
 
The call I'll send
 
 
 
C
   Call all the ladies out
   They're in their finally
 
Am
   A hundreds jewels on throats
 
G
   A hundred jewels between teeth
 
C
   Now bring my boys in
 
   Their skin in craters like the moon
 
Am                       G     
 The moon we love like a brother, while he glows through the room
 
 
 
    C
   Dancin' around the lies we tell
 
 
Dancin' around big eyes as well
 
 
Am                G
 Even the comatose   they don't dance and tell
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
F                   Am
 We live in cities you'll never see on screen
 
G                         Em             Am
 Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run free
 
F             Am                            G
 Living in ruins   of the palace within my dreams
                                      F
 And you know, we're on each other's team
 
            
             Am                              G
I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there
 
 
So all the cups got broke shards beneath our feet but it wasn't my fault
 
 
And everyone's competing for a love they won't receive
 
 
'Cause what this palace wants is release
 
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
F                   Am
 We live in cities you'll never see on screen
 
G                         Em             Am
 Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run free
 
F             Am                            G
 Living in ruins   of the palace within my dreams
 
                                      F
 And you know, we're on each other's team
 
 
 
 F             Am                             G
  I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air
 
So there
 
 F            Am                     G
  I'm kinda older than I was when I rebelled without a care
 
So there
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 
F                   Am
 We live in cities you'll never see on screen
 
G                         Em             Am
 Not very pretty, but we sure know how to run free
 
F             Am                            G
 Living in ruins   of the palace within my dreams
                                      F
 And you know, we're on each other's team
 
F Am                                    G
     And you know, we're on each other's team
                         
                         F  Am
  We're on each other's team
                         
                         G
  We're on each other's team
                         
                                     F
And you know, and you know, and you know

Intro: D F#m G x4


1st verse:
       D
 We're never done with killing time
                   F#m
 Can I kill it with you?
                            G
 'Til the veins run red and blue
    D
 We come around here all the time
                  F#m
 Got a lot to not do
                     G
 Let me kill it with you


pre-chorus:
             D
 You pick me up and take me home again
 
 Head out the window again
       F#m                             G
 We're hollow like the bottles that we drain
                D                                
 You drape your wrists over the steering wheel

 Pulses can drive from here
F#m                             G
  We might be hollow, but we're brave


chorus:
            D
 And I like you
                                                               
 I love these roads where the houses don't change 
           F#m   
(and I like you)

F#m                                G                            
 Where we can talk like there's something to say 
            D
(and I like you) 

D                                                   F#m
 I'm glad that we stopped kissing the tar on the highway 
                         G
 We move in these tree streets
                    D
 I'd like it if you stayed


2nd verse:
D                                                     F#m
 Now we're wearing long sleeves and the heating comes on
                        G
 (You buy me orange juice)
G
 We're getting good at this
D
 Dreams of clean teeth
                           
 I can tell that you're tired
        F#m             
 But you keep the car on
             G
 While you're waiting out front


pre-chorus:
            D
You pick me up and take me home again
 
 Head out the window again
       F#m                             G
 We're hollow like the bottles that we drain
                D                                
 You dig your wrists over the steering wheel

 Pulses can drive from here
F#m                             G
  We might be hollow, but we're brave

chorus:
              D
   And I like you

(and I like you) 
D                                                  F#m
 I'm glad that we stopped kissing the tar on the highway 
                        G
 We move in these tree streets
                    Bm
 I'd like it if you (stay)   


Bm
We're never done with killing time
                    A
 Can I kill it with you?
 A                         
 'Til the veins run red and blue
    G                           A  
 We come around here all the time
                  Bm         
 Got a lot to not do

outro:

  That slow burn wait while it gets dark
A*           E*
Bruising the sun

 Not sleeping is one
                 F#m                     C#m
We're biting our nails, you're biting my lip

 Raise a glass 'cause I'm not done saying it

Complain about work

They're studying business, I study the floor
        F#m*            A*          E*
And you haven't stopped smoking all night
          F#m*            C#m*
Maybe the Internet raised us
   A*               E                          A
Or maybe people are jerks (People are talking, people are talking)

But not you (People are talking, people are talking)

A World Alone

Bm
All my life,
            G         A
I've been fighting a war
          Bm     G            A
I can't talk to you or your friends
          Bm
It's not only you,
     G            A             Bm
My heart jumps around when I'm eluded to
              G     A
This will not do 
             Bm          G      A 
Cause I was raised up to be admired,
        Bm  
to be noticed
      G               A
But when you're withdrawn,
          Bm
it's the closest thing  
       G           A          Bm
to assault when all eyes are on you
              G    A
This will not do

Bm - Bm - G - A
Bm - Bm - G - A
Bm - Bm - G - A
Bm - Bm - G - A

             Bm
I'm faking glory
         G             A
Lick my lips toss my hair
            Bm
And send a smile over
         G           A
And the story brand new
       Bm
I can take it from here,
      G        A       Bm    G   A
I'll find my own bravado

Chorus x2
D               
It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back
                 Em
It's a moon eclipsed, oh
Bm                                                              A
And I can tell that, when the lights come on I'll be ready for this
D
It's in your bloodstream
                                   Em
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
Bm                                                      A
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scale without thinking of size
D
I was frightened of every little thing
                   Em     Bm
that I thought was out to get me down
                            A
To trip me up, and laugh at me,
    D
But I learned not to hold the quiet of the room
               Em       Bm
And the one around to find me out
                                                              
I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go, oh

Bravado

Intro: Em G
Em                                    G                    
I remember when your head caught flame
Em                                      G
It kissed your scalp and caressed your brain 
Em                                     G
(I remember when your head caught flame)
Em                                     G
Well you laughed, baby it's okay
Em                              G
It's buzzcut season anyway
Em                                      G 
(Well you laughed, baby it's okay)
C
Explosions on TV
                                       Em
And all the girls with heads inside a dream
                     C
So now we live beside the pool
                                    Em
Where everything is good
Em                                        G
We ride the bus with our knees pulled in
Em                            G 
People should see how we're living
Em                                         G
(We ride the bus with our knees pulled in)
Em                               G
Shut my eyes to the song that plays
Em                                  G
Sometimes this has a hot, sweet taste
Em                                 G
(Shut my eyes to the song that plays)
        C
The men up on the news
                                Em
They try to tell us all that we will lose
                   C
But it's so easy in this blue
                                    Em
Where everything is good
                               C
And I'll never go home again (place the call, feel it start) 
Em                                                                                         D
Favorite friend (and nothing's wrong when nothing's true)
                                            Em
I live in a hologram with you
                                                  C
We're all the things that we do for fun (and I'll breathe and it goes)
Em                                                                D
Play along (make believe it's hyperreal) 
D                                                 Em                        
But I live in a hologram with you
Em                   G
Cola with the burnt-out taste
                                             D
I'm the one you tell your fears to
                                                  Em
There'll never be enough of us

                                             Em
I live in a hologram with you
                                                  C
We're all the things that we do for fun (and I'll breathe and it goes)
Em                                                                D
Play along (make believe it's hyperreal) 
D                                                 Em
But I live in a hologram with you

Buzzcut Season

G                                         Em
There's a humming in the restless summer air
D                                         Am
And we're slipping off the course that we prepared
G                 Em
But in all chaos, there is calculation
D                 Am
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
G                                                  Em
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
D                                                Am
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)
G                       Em
It's clear that someone's gotta go
D                     Am
We mean it but I promise we're not mean

[Pre-Chorus:]
G            Em
And the cry goes out (HaaaHaaa)
D           Am
They lose their minds for us
G             Em
And how it plays out (HaaHaa)

Now we're in the ring
D                  Am
And we're coming for blood

[Chorus:]
G                   Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D                   Am
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
G            Em
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
D             Am
But secretly they're saviors
G              Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
D              Am
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
G               Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D               Am
But victory's contagious

[Verse 2:]     (Palm muted)
G                             Em
Delicate in every way but one (the swordplay)
D                                     Am
God knows we like archaic kinds of fun (the old way)
G                             Em
Chance is the only game I play with, baby
D                  Am
We let our battles choose us

[Pre-Chorus]
G            Em
And the cry goes out (HaaaHaaa)
D           Am
They lose their minds for us
G             Em
And how it plays out (HaaHaa)

Now we're in the ring
D                  Am
And we're coming for blood

[Chorus]
G                   Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D                   Am
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
G            Em
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
D             Am
But secretly they're saviors
G              Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
D              Am
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
G               Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D               Am
But victory's contagious

[Bridge:]
G               Em         D               Am
No-one round here's good at keeping their eyes closed
G               Em         D               Am
The sun's starting to light up when we're walking home
G               Em         D               Am
Tired little laughs, gold-lie promises, we'll always win at this
G               Em         D               Am
I don't ever think about death
G               Em         D               Am
It's alright if you do, it's fine
G               Em         D               Am
We gladiate but I guess we're really fighting ourselves
G               Em         D               Am
Roughing up our minds so we're ready when the kill time comes
G               Em         D               Am
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain, 
G               Em         D               Am
"Secretly you love this do you even wanna go free?"
G               Em         D               Am
Let me in the ring, I'll show you what that big word means

[Chorus]
G                   Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D                   Am
But we're the gladiators (Oh! Oh!)
G            Em
Everyone a rager (oh-oh)
D             Am
But secretly they're saviors
G              Em
Glory and gore go hand in hand
D              Am
That's why we're making headlines (Oh! Oh!)
G               Em
You could try and take us (oh-oh)
D               Am
But victory's contagious

Glory And Gore

Capo 2nd fret 

[Verse 1]
Em                  G                 C 
   I do my makeup in somebody else's car
Em                    G                    C 
   We order different drinks at the same bars
Em                          G                          C 
   I know about what you did and I wanna scream the truth
Em                         G                           C 
   She thinks you love the beach, you're such a damn liar


[Refrain 1]
D                                          
   Those great whites, they have big teeth
C                  Em                                             D
   Oh they bite you, thought you said that you would always be in love
                             C                 
   But you're not in love no more, did it frighten you?
Em                                              D
   How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor, on the light up floor


[Pre-Chorus 1]
F                 C              G
   But I hear the sounds in my mind
F              C            G
   Brand new sounds in my mind
              F              C            G
   But honey I'll be seein' you 'ever, I go
              F              C              G
   But honey I'll be seein' you down every road

[Chorus 1]
                 F                 C                     G
   'Cause honey I'll come get my things but I can't let go

   (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it)
             F                C                  G
   Oh I wish I could get my things and just let go

   (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it)


[Verse 2]
Em                       G                C
   Sometimes I wake up in a different bedroom
Em                       G                        C
   I whisper things, the city sings them back to you


[Refrain 2]
D                                          
   All those rumors, they have big teeth
C                  Em                                             D
   Oh they bite you, thought you said that you would always be in love
                             C                 
   But you're not in love no more, did it frighten you?
Em                                              D
   How we kissed when we danced on the light up floor, on the light up floor


[Pre-Chorus 2]
F                 C              G
   But I hear the sounds in my mind
F              C            G
   Brand new sounds in my mind
              F              C            G
   But honey I'll be seein' you 'ever, I go
              F              C              G
   But honey I'll be seein' you down every road

  (I'm waiting for it, that green light, I want it)


[Chorus 2]
                 F                 C                     G
   'Cause honey I'll come get my things but I can't let go

Green Light

F
I'm in a clique but I want out
                                 C
It's not the same as when I was punched
In the old days there was enough
                                                 F
The card games and ease with the bitter song of blood
I was in but I want out
                            C
My mother's love is choking me
I'm sick of words that hang above my head
                                           F
What about the kid? It's time the kid got free

       C
Be a part of the love club
                         F
Everything will glow for you
            C
You'll get punched for the love club
                F
For the love club.


F
I joined the club and it's all on
                                     C
There are fights for being my best friend
And the girls get the claws out
                                                F
There's something about hanging out the wicked kids
Take the pill make it too ill
                                 C
The other day I forgot my old address
I'm sitting pretty on the throne, there's nothing more I want
                   F
Except to be alone.


       C
Be a part of the love club
                         F
Everything will glow for you
            C
You'll get punched for the love club
                F
For the love club.

F - C - F - C

C
Your clothes are soaked and you don't know where to go
So drop your chin and take yourself back home
          F
And roll out your maps and papers
                             C
Find out your hiding places again
The only problem that I got with the club
                                                          F
Is how you're severed from the people who watched you grow up
When you're a member go on your great adventure again
N' we'll be waiting at the end

       C
Be a part of the love club
                         F
Everything will glow for you
            C
You'll get punched for the love club
                F
For the love club.

Am                         Dm  C  
Never really felt bad about it
Am                      Dm   C  
As we drank deep from a lie
Am                     Dm     C       
Cause I felt melting magnets babe
Am              Dm           C

Walk my way, I'll share the things that you want

I love this secret language that we're speaking

Say it to me, let's embrace the point of no return

We be thinking about what could have been
                 Am              Dm          C  
But we've had a record summer, can't turn it down, oh

Now I don't wanna see the envy again

Magnets

[Verse 1]
C
Every night, I live and die
                      Em
Feel the party to my bones

Watch the wasters blow the speakers
                             Am
Spill my guts beneath the outdoor light
      G
It's just another graceless night
C
I hate the headlines and the weather
                   Em
I'm 19 and I'm on fire
                              Am
But when we're dancing I'm alright
      G
It's just another graceless night

[Pre-Chorus]
         F
Are you lost enough?
                         Am
Have another drink, get lost in us
                       G
This is how we get notorious, oh
       F
'Cause I don't know
                          Am
If they keep tellin' me where to go
                                 G
I'll blow my brains out to the radio, oh

[Chorus]
F            Am
All of the things we're taking
F               C         G      F
'Cause we are young and we're ashamed
F            Am             G
Send us to perfect places
F            Am
All of our heroes fading
F             C       G     F
Now I can't stand to be alone
F             Am             G
Let's go to perfect places

[Verse 2]
C
Every night, I live and die
                         Em
Meet somebody, take 'em home
                                    Am
Let's kiss and then take off our clothes
      G
It's just another graceless night

[Chorus]
F            Am
All of the things we're taking
F               C         G      F
'Cause we are young and we're ashamed
F             Am              G
Send us to perfect places
F            Am
All of our heroes fading
F             C       G    F
Now I can't stand to be alone
F             Am             G
Let's go to perfect places

[Outro]
F                     Am
All the nights spent off our faces
F                     C        G
Trying to find these perfect places
F                    Am             G
What the fuck are perfect places anyway?
F                     Am
All the nights spent off our faces
F                      C        G
Trying to find these perfect places
F                   Am             G
What the fuck are perfect places anyway?
F                     Am
All the nights spent off our faces
F                      C        G
Trying to find these perfect places
F                     Am            G
What the fuck are perfect places anyway?

Perfect Places

Royal

I've never seen a diamond in the flesh
I cut my teeth on wedding rings in the movies
And I'm not proud of my address, in the torn up town
No post code envy

D                        
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
Cadd9                            G
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.
                      D
But everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
Cadd9                      G
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.
   

                   D
And we'll never be royals..
It don't run in our blood,
             Cadd9
That kind of lux just ain't for us.
            G
We crave a different kind of buzz.
                D
Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen bee
                Cadd9
And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.
G
Let me live that fantasy.


D
My friends and I we've cracked the code.
We count our dollars on the train to the party.
And everyone who knows us knows that we're fine with this,
We didn't come from money.

D                        
But every song's like gold teeth, grey goose, trippin' in the bathroom
Blood stains, ball gowns, trashin' the hotel room,
Cadd9                            G
We don't care, we're driving cadillacs in our dreams.
                      D
But everybody's like cristal, maybach, diamonds on your time piece.
Jet planes, islands, tigers on a gold leash.
Cadd9                        G
We don't care, we aren't caught up in your love affair.
 

                   D
And we'll never be royals..
It don't run in our blood,
             Cadd9
That kind of lux just ain't for us.
            G
We crave a different kind of buzz.
                D
Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen bee
                Cadd9
And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.
G
Let me live that fantasy.

D     
Oooh ooooh ohhh
Cadd9                             G
We're bigger than we ever dreamed, and I'm in love with being queen.
D                    Cadd9
Oooooh ooooh ohhhhh life is game without a care
            G
We aren't caught up in your love affair.


                    D
And we'll never be royals..
It don't run in our blood,
             Cadd9
That kind of lux just ain't for us.
            G
We crave a different kind of buzz.
                D
Let me be your ruler, you can call me queen bee
                Cadd9
And baby I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule I'll rule.

Let me live that fantasy.

Royals intro

Am C Dm F G
Am C Dm F G

Am
You asked if I was feeling it
C
I'm psycho high
 Dm                               F
Know you won't remember in the morning

When I speak my mind
Am
Lights are on and they've gone home
    C
But who am I?
G 
Oh how fast the evening passes
   Dm 
Cleaning up the champagne glasses

Am                     C
We told you this was melodrama
G 
(Oh how fast the evening passes
Dm
Cleaning up the champagne glasses)
Am                  C
Our only wish is melodrama
G
(Oh how fast the evening passes)
Dm
(Cleaning up the champagne glasses)

Am C Dm F G

Am
And the terror, and the horror
C 
Then we wonder why we bother
 F   Dm   G
Wow, oh, wow
Am 
And the terror, and the horror
        C                   F         Dm G
Gotta wonder why we bother (Oh, oh-oh)
          Am 
All the glamour, and the trauma
           C               F          Dm G
And the fucking melodrama (Oh, oh-oh)
           Am 
All the gunfights, and the limelights
         C 
And the holy sick divine nights 
 F                                 Dm G
(Oh, Holy sick divine nights woah)
              Am 
They'll talk about us, all the lovers
         C                           F   Dm G 
How we kissed and killed each other (Oh)
Am 
They'll talk about us, and discover
         C                           F
How we kissed and killed each other (Oh)
               Dm G 
(Talk about it)

Am                       C 
We told you this was melodrama
F                               Dm G
You wanted something that we offered
Am                       C 
We told you this was melodrama

Sober Ii

[Verse 1]
C* (single strum)            G*     Am*
Today is my birthday and I'm riding high
C*                G*              Am*
Hair is dripping, hiding that I'm terrified
            C*              G*             Am*
But this is summer, playing dumber than in fall
C*                     G*              F*
Everything I say falls right back into everything

[Bridge 1]
    C                            G
I'm not in the swing of things

But what I really mean is
Am                         G*
Not in the swing of things yet

[Verse 2]
C
Riding around on the bikes, we're still sane
G
I won't be her, tripping over onstage
Am            F
Hey, it's all cool
  C
I still like hotels but I think that'll change
G
Still like hotels and my new-found fame
Am                      F
Hey, promise I can stay good

 G
(Everything feels right)
                                  F
I'm little but I'm coming for the crown

I'm little but I'm coming for you
 G
(Chase paper, get it)
                                  F
I'm little but I'm coming for the title
                       G
Held by everyone who's up

[Chorus]
C*
All work and no play
G*
Never made me lose it
Am*
All business, all day
F*        (G*)
Keeps me up a level
C*
All work and no play
G*                        Am*    F* G*
Keeps me on the new shit, yeah
C
All work and no play
G
Let me count the bruises
Am
All business, all day
F        (G)
Keeps me up a level
C
All work and no play
G                        Am    G
Lonely on that new shit, yeah, yeah

[Bridge 2]
     C                        G
Only bad people live to see
      Am                 F    (G)
Their likeness set in stone
     C                        G
Only bad people live to see
                      Am      G*
Their likeness set in stone

What does that make me?

[Bridge 1]
    C                            G
I'm not in the swing of things

But what I really mean is
Am                         F
Not in the swing of things yet
    C                            G
I'm not in the swing of things

But what I really mean is
Am                         F*    (G*)
Not in the swing of things yet

[Chorus]
C*
All work and no play
G*
Never made me lose it
Am*
All business, all day
F*        (G*)
Keeps me up a level
C*
All work and no play
G*                        Am*    G*
Keeps me on the new shit, yeah

Still Sane

G                         Am                     F
Don't you think that it's boring how people talk
G                         Am                     F
Making smart with their words again, well I'm bored
                 G                             
Because I'm doing this for the thrill of it, killin' it
Am                                          F
Never not chasing a million things I want
            G
And I am only as young as the minute is full of it
Am                                                   F
Getting pumped up from the little bright things I bought
But I know they'll never own me
(Yeah)

Chorus:

G
Baby be the class clown
C                            Am
I'll be the beauty queen in tears
                                G
It's a new art form showing people how little we care (yeah)
F                 C                               G
We're so happy, even when we're smilin' out of fear
                                     Am
Let's go down to the tennis court, and talk it up like yeah (yeah)


(The rest just repeats and the bridge/end just repeat the 2nd half of the Chorus)

Tennis Court

Verse: | G | Am | F | F |
Chorus: | G | C | Am | G | F | C | Am |

[Verse 1]
C                                           Em
  Well summer slipped us underneath her tongue
                       F                    Am
Our days and nights are perfumed with obsession
                                          G
Half of my wardrobe is on your bedroom floor
                                   
Use our eyes, throw our hands overboard

C                                      Em
  I am your sweetheart, psychopathic crush
                        F                     Am
Drink up your movements, still I can't get enough
                                G
I overthink your p-punctuation use

Not my fault, just a thing that my mind do


[Chorus 1]
  F      G             Am
A ru-u-u-ush at the beginning
             F     G                 Am
I get caught u-u-u-up, just for a minute
           F                                 G                              Am
But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing, can you hear the violence?
    F       G               Am
Megapho-o-o-one to my chest
N.C.
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it


[Post-Chorus 1]
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it


[Verse 2]
C                                              Em
  Our thing progresses, I call and you come through
                        F                     Am
Blow all my friendships, to sit in hell with you
                                                 G
But we're the greatest, they'll hang us in the Louvre

Down the back, but who cares, still the Louvre

C                                                Em
  Okay I know that you are not my type (still I fall)
                                F                            Am 
I'm just the sucker who let you fill her mind (but what about love?)
                      G
Nothing wrong with it, supernatural
F                           G
  Just move in close to me, closer, you'll feel it coasting


[Chorus 2]
  F      G             Am
A ru-u-u-ush at the beginning
             F     G                 Am
I get caught u-u-u-up, just for a minute
           F                                 G                              Am
But lover, you're the one to blame, all that you're doing, can you hear the violence?
    F       G               Am
Megapho-o-o-one to my chest
N.C.
Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it


[Post-Chorus 2]
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it
F  G  Am                                 G
         Broadcast the boom, boom, boom, boom and make 'em all dance to it

The Louvre solo

A* (single strum)                    A*
We wouldn't be seen dead here in the day
  F#m*                                 C#m*
I guess you're lucky that it's dark now
    A*                          A*
And if I like it then we'll stay
  F#m*
Impress the empress, take a shot now
 
A           F#m         C#m D
 We got the glow in our mouths
                      A    F#m C#m
White teeth teens are out (out)
D*                    A
White teeth teens are up for it
 
                            F#m                C#m D
I know you love it when the hairpins start to drop
            A
I like your reckoning, but we got our methods
            F#m             C#m      D
And there's nothing here to stop, to stop this
 
A F#m C#m
 
       D*                                    A
If you want, we'll help tonight to split its seams
                          F#m            C#m
Give the bruises out like gifts aaahhh
               D               A
You'll get the picture of your dreams
                           F#m
I won't be smiling but the notes from my admirers
         C#m                D
Fill the dashboard just the same ah ah ah
 
           A           F#m C#m
We got the glow in our mouths

 I'll let you in on something big
D                     A
I'm not a white teeth teen
           F#m            C#m
I tried to join but never did
    D                          A
The way they are, the way they seem

Is something else, it's in the blood
      D                        A
Their molars blinking like the lights
            F#m               C#m
In the underpass where we all sit
       D
And do nothing and love it
 
 A                F#m
(Everything works out so good
  C#m                D
I wear the robe like no one could

Everything works out so good

White Teeth Teens

D
Break the news, you're walking out
Em
To be a good man for someone else
D                                Em
Sorry I was never good like you
D
Stood on my chest and kept me down
Em
Hated hearing my name on the lips of a crowd
D                                 Em
Did my best to exist just for you

         D                      Am                   G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
         D                      Am                   G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
         D                      Am                   G
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
         D                      Am                   G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

D                                    Am                         
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
G                                                   D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
D                                      Am
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
G                                             D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe

D
I still feel you, now and then
Em
Slow like pseudo-ephedrine
D                                                    Em
When you see me, will you say I've changed?
D   
I ride the subway, read the signs
Am
I let the seasons change my mind
G                                                          D
I love it here since I've stopped needing you

          D                      Am                   G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
          D                      Am                   G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark
          D                      Am                   G
Now she's gonna play and sing and lock you in her heart
          D                      Am                   G
Bet you rue the day you kissed a writer in the dark

D                                    Am                         
I am my mother's child, I'll love you 'til my breathing stops
G                                                   D
I'll love you 'til you call the cops on me
D                                      Am
But in our darkest hours, I stumbled on a secret power
G                                             D
I'll find a way to be without you, babe

   D			 C                G
1) Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah       River.
2) miner's lady,         stranger to blue water.

        that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

Country Roads

Am      C              F              C
I had a dream, we were sipping whisky neat

Highest floor, the Bowery, and nowhere’s high enough
    Am              C                F             C
Somewhere along the lines, we stopped seeing eye to eye

You were staying out all night and I had enough


      F           Am             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.
