Verse 1
A
   When it seems like the world is against you, 
C#m
   And all your plannin ain't worked like it's meant to, 
D
   When you wanna drop this,
E
   No worries, I got this
A
   Call out to me as I'm wondering by
C#m
   I'll sit down and dry your eyes,

E
   But if you lend me a pen,


Chorus 1
      A                       C#m
I can write you a poem, I can sing you a song,
        D                                   E
I don't know if that's important, might not pay the bills for long,
               A                            C#m
But I'll still write you a poem, I'll still sing you a song,
            D                         E
When you're tired and lonely and it's like you can't go on,

Verse 2
  A
I swear like a sailor and I fight like a champ,
C#m
   Eat like a king and I drink like a tramp,
D
   Well I can't do construction,
E
   Find it hard to follow instructions,
A
Can't pick you up cause I ain't got a car,
C#m
   But I can write your name in the stars
      D
And I ain't got much to give to you,
            E
But there's one thing I can do,


Chorus 2
      A                       C#m
I can write you a poem, I can sing you a song,
        D                                   E
I don't know if that's important, might not pay the bills for long,
               A                            C#m
But I'll still write you a poem, I'll still sing you a song,
            D                   E
When you're feeling unimportant like you don’t belong,
              A
I'll sing for you.

I can write you a poem, I can sing you a song,
        D                                   E
I don't know if that's important, might not pay the bills for long,
               A                            C#m
But I'll still write you a poem, I'll still sing you a song,
            D                                     E
When you're life don’t seem worth living and it’s like you can’t go on,


Outro
          D
When your nights go so quickly,
         E
And your days seem so long,
              A
I'll sing for you.

Intro
G


Verse 1
     G
He’s looking, he’s looking, he’s looking down,
C
  Hoping you’ll clean up this dirty old town.
D
  Finish his battle,
  C
Before it turns rotten,
     D                       C
Your grandad didn’t vote for fascists,
   D
He shot 'em.


Verse 2
        G
Yeah he shot 'em, he shot 'em, he shot 'em down,
C
  Fired his gun till they hit the ground.
D
  So I hope,
C
You’ve not forgotten
     D                       C
Your grandad didn’t vote for fascists
   D        G
He shot 'em down.

Shooting Fascists

C          G              Am       F
The First time i saw a racist
C          G              Am
His trousers were oh so tight

(repeat for)

I assumed that they would split
at some point in the night
Wore his kinky boots of leather
Had his massive feet on display
and i wonder to myself
Are all Nazi Skinheads Gay
Well they hang round with other men
Never a woman in sight
They'd probably even fancy me
Well he would if you were white
Well come out of the closet boy 
Its all right with us we say
We dont wonder any more, coz we know
All Nazi Skinheads are Gay 
We dont wonder any more, coz we know
All Nazi Skinheads are Gay 
We dont wonder any more, coz we know
All Nazi Skinheads are Gay

All Nazi Skinheads Are Gay

     F                           Bb
The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling
     F
Way down in the valley tonight
         F                        Am
There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
       Bb
And a blade shining oh so bright

     
         F                            C
There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky
       Dm                   C     Bb
And a killer's on the bloodshot streets
        F                            C
Oh and down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising
      Dm
Oh I swear I saw a young boy
 Bb                                                    C
Down in the gutter, he was starting to foam in the heat


    Bb                             C               
Oh Baby, you're the only thing in this whole world 
        F                 Bb
That's pure and good and right
                              C
And wherever you are and wherever you go
        F                  Bb
There's always gonna be some light


       Bb
But I gotta get out
         C
I gotta break it out now
   Dm             C         Bb
Before the final crack of dawn
       F                            C
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
           Bb
When it's over you know
                   C
We'll both be so alone


        F 
Like a bat out of hell
          Bb                      F
I'll be gone when the morning comes

When the night is over
       Am                       Bb                 
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone


        F
Like a bat out of hell 
          C               F  C  Bb
I'll be gone when the morning comes
  F
       But when the day is done
         C
And the sun goes down
     Bb     
And moonlight's shining through



     F                            Bb
I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
      F
On a silver black phantom bike
                               Am
When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry
          Bb
And we're all about to see the light


 F                          C
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole
 Dm                        Bb
Everything is stunted and lost
     F       
And nothing really rocks
     C
And nothing really rolls 
     Bb              
And nothing's ever worth the cost


       Bb            C           F
And I know that I'm damned if I never get out
     Bb        C            F
And maybe I'm damned if I do
           Bb         C          Dm
But with every other beat I got left in my heart
              Bb        C           F
You know I'd rather be damned with you


      F                          C
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
   Bb                C            F
Dancing through the night with you
                                 C
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
 F                          Bb
Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
      F                          C            
If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned
 Bb                  C
Dancing through the night
 Bb                  C
Dancing through the night
 Bb                  C          F
Dancing through the night with you

        F
Like a bat out of hell 
          Bb                      F
I'll be gone when the morning comes 

When the night is over 
       Am                       Bb  
Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone gone gone 

        F
Like a bat out of hell 
          C                Bb
I'll be gone when the morning comes 
                 F
       But when the day is done
         C
And the sun goes down

But these walls they can’t contain us

Intro

D                         Bm
I was classic bullying material strictly speaking
      D                     Bm
I was four foot tall with a three foot mohican
  D                                 Bm
I bunked off school and bought some tattoo ink
          G                             A
Engraved "Punk 4 life" on my arm with a safety pin.

I was sleeping in a park and selling The Big Issue
But this ain't no sob story, so don't reach for the tissue,
Cos these spanish punks took me under their wing;
Opened a squat in Clapham Common, they let me move in,

     E                               C#m
This place was fucking huge, I could barely believe my luck,
    E                  C#m
But it was no stranger to the odd ruck,
      E                        C#m
I was sharing a room with this bloke called Jeff,
       A                     B
He had rotting teeth and the world's world breath .
         D                       Bm
But we had such a time graffing up all the walls,
Day trips to brighton when the occasion called,
Drinking red wine and coke, playing our music loud,
        D                        A
On a shitty old tape player, we sung it proud

                 G
And we used to sing
                 D                A           Bm
If we hang the landlord from the top of the stairs,
G                       D             A
 We could live here forever without a care,
G                     D               A           Bm
 So let's hang the landlord from the top of the stairs,
            G         D        A
And we'll live like a millionaire,
Like a millionaire
D     Bm

C                             D

D
and I said listen my friend,






You can lean on me,
Cry on my shoulder,
If Im Obelix,
You are my boulder?

I said If you need a place to stay you can always come over,
I?ll clean out the front room and you can sleep on my sofa?,
He said I can only apologise if I seem out of touch,
The only reason I scream and shout is cos I care so much?

The Streets Are Ours

G                        D              Em    
As you pack your clothes into a bag and head out in the rain
C                   G                   Am
I don't know if you really care whether you see me again
G                       D             Em
After twenty years I've learnt no one stays here for more than two
C                          G                      Am
So I wish you the best and when you're gone we'll have a drink for you

D G x4

C  G             D
So let's steal a car
C   G          D
Hot-wire, crow-bar
C             G
And chase the sun
C            G   C
We're on the run
G              D
We ain't never done

As the bus drove over London Bridge the river shone so bright
You leant in and kissed my cheek I held your cold hand tight
In my head Bob Dylan sang about revolution in the air
And we danced right on through the night as if we were somewhere

So let's steal a car
Hot-wire, crow-bar
And chase the sun
We're on the run
We ain't never done

G       D             G
We know nothing lasts forever
G           D                    G
Now all the clubs have been shut down
G              D             G
Let's pack our bag and leave forever
G               D              G
There's nothing for us in this town

So let's steal a car
Hot-wire, crow-bar
And chase the sun
We're on the run
We ain't never done

We Aint Never Done

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

to remind yourself that you forgot
