I see your face on a summer's day 
But it's only a reflection 
On a window far away.

I saw your face on a sunny day 
Vapour trails in Heaven 
And tears in your eyes.

Am
Night is down in insect town
Dm
I'm sitting here glued to the glowing tube
Em
Tedious, tedium, flowing slow
                                        Am
I'm crying for something I could really use
                      Dm
We're worker ants, or ants with wings
Em                                     Am  
Saying 'God I'm high' or 'Christ, I'm late'

Asking girls and women
           Dm
'Won't you show us the way
Em                                Am       
To crumple sheets and naughtier things? '
                     Dm
But it's sad, so sad
                                       Em
The old people never had not quite so bad

(not this way, anyway)
                      Am
And it,s sad, sad, sad
                                        Dm
The sadness of a long dead star on late night TV
Em                                  Am
The sadness of shooting away your bloom
                                 Dm            Em
And of old crumpled men in their workday suits
                                 Am
And telephones ringing in empty rooms
                                Dm      Em
All the birs have flown from the uptown
                                 Am
And a family I know has built an ark
                           Dm  
It's been raining long in a steady flow
Em                                   Am  
And newspaper headlines read bad and stark
                Dm
But is sad, so sad
                                      Em
The old people never had not quite so bad.
                     Am
And it,s sad, sad, sad
                                       Dm
The sadness of a long dead star on late night TV
Em                                  Am
The sadness of shooting away your bloom
                                 Dm            Em
And of old crumpled men in their workday suits
                                 Am
And telephones ringing in empty rooms

Am                 Dm
People of Babylon, if you want to be wrong
                   Em  
You've got to be strong

If not you'll go down
            Am
Down, down down
                                   
You can bite the hands that feeds you
Dm
Spit in the face of those who needs you
Em
But when you're old, who is gonna feed you
                     Am 
When you're on your own? 

I hear my black brothers every day
Dm
Saying how they've been put down in so many ways
            Em
Well, what about us Rasta?
                                  Am 
Some of us been treated just the same way

I look around and all I see is

White trash in a Babylon

White trash right here in Buenos Aires town

White trash in Twinckenham

Spit in the face of those who needs you

intro: Em A7 C G

Break... break... break... break...
break... break... break... break...
break... break... break...

I'm breaking away from you.

Em
Open your hands and show me what your holding.
A7
Is it an emerald, or is it a pearl?
C
What other information are you beholding?
G
You're such a funny girl.

Where is your mother, where did she came from?
Was your father a sailor or a thief?
Who was your brothers, where did they came from?
I'd wish you'd tell me about them at least.

But you're so silent, you're so gentle.
I think my brain will go.
This town's your town, yeah, this room's your temple.
And now you know what I have to go.

Em                      A7
That's what it takes to love you.
                        C
That's what it takes to love you too.
                        G
That's what it takes to hate you too.

So I'll just wanna go.

Break... break... break... break...
break... break... break... break...
break... break... break...

I'm breaking away from you.

Don't give me words whit no meanings.
Don't give me problems that you can't solve.
Ha! Don't tell me now you're revealing.
things we spoke of long ago.

I know you're ways, I know you're silence.
This could go on all day.
This is the way this is the violence.
And now you know why I can't stay.

That's what it takes to love you.
That's what it takes to love you too.
That's what it takes to hate you too.

Break... break... break... break...
break... break... break... break...
break... break... break...

I'm breaking away from you.

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.

Summer nights and the Libertines, never growing up
Am             C          F                 C
I'll take with me the polaroids and the memories

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
