What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?

Come Of Age

F
If at some point we all succumb

For goodness sake let us be young

Because time gets harder to outrun

And I'm nobody, I'm not done
   

 With a cool cool breeze and dirty knees

I rest on childhood memories

We all got old at breakneck speed

Slow it down, go easy on me

Bb         C
Go easy on me
Bb             C
Aaah aaah ah-ah aaah
Bb             C
aaah aaah ah-ah ah, 
F
ah-ah aahh

CHORUS:
       F               Bb       C
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
           F                  Bb        C
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
       F
Put a t-shirt on
        Bb           C            F
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

F
If it's up and after you
What do you suppose that you would do?
You're all whacked out from lack of sleep
You blame it on the friends you keep
You want to do things differently
And do them independently 
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me

    Bb         C
Go easy on me
Bb             C
Aaah aaah ah-ah aaah
Bb             C
aaah aaah ah-ah ah, 
F
ah-ah aahh

CHORUS:
       F               Bb       C
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
           F                  Bb        C
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
       F
Put a t-shirt on
        Bb           C            F
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

       F               Bb       C
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
           F                  Bb        C
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
       F
Put a t-shirt on
        Bb           C            F
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

BRIDGE:
      Bb                  F
Does holy water make you pure?
      Bb                         F
Submerged your vision's just obscured
 Bb               F
You're a lot like me
Bb             F
In up to our knees
Bb             F               C
In over your chest is way too deep

CHORUS:
       F               Bb       C

Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on

Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
       F
Put a t-shirt on
        Bb           C            F
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong

1st verse :
G
Oh look at me so ordinary, no mystery, with no great capabilities,
    Em        D             C                G
But I could make out as if I had it but you don't,
Em          D              C           G              D            
God I'm so obvious and I should let it go oh I don't know.


Chorus :
G
I'm no teenage icon,

I'm nobody's hero.
 

2nd Verse :

G
Preserved and shy your average guy, no piercing stare, just out of shape with messy hair,
    Em         D            C          G 
But I always figured I was somebody in wake,
Em            D                C             G             D  
  And now I'm guessing that my woman must be late cause I need her.

I'm suburban and typical,
C              D    G       C                   D    G
But I got it, I got I'm overrun with it all.


3rd verse :
G
Seductive charm a way with words so effortless not leather clad or dangerous,
    Em       D             C             G
But I always did it like a real rebel would,
Em        D                C                G                               
  I had a photo where John Lennon may have stood,

or so I'm told.



Chorus :

I'm no teenage icon,

Teenage Icon

F# B C#  (the entire song)


Great Dane's cheekbones,
Teenage hormones,
Young complexion,
Non-physical affection.
You're a god send;
Do you want a boyfriend?
Crazy crazy, easy tiger!

Her mind's made up, she don't wanna go steady,
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready.
A-m-a-n-d-a Norgaard,
I saw you on a cover on Cross Bay Boulevard.

Smaller tits
And skinny framework,
Tall, sharp hips
And you're all in the same work.
Giving me the sweet talk,
Walking down the catwalk.
I want a mannequin!
But she won't let me in

Her mind's made up, she don't wanna go steady,
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready.
A-m-a-n-d-a Norgaard,
I saw you on a cover on Cross Bay Boulevard.

Her mind's made up, she don't wanna go steady,
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready.
A-m-a-n-d-a Norgaard,
I saw you on a cover on Cross Bay Boulevard.
Her mind's made up, she don't wanna go steady,
She's only seventeen so she's probably not ready.
A-m-a-n-d-a Norgaard,
I saw you on a cover on Cross Bay Boulevard.

Norgaard

C                               F             G
They've all got their opinions but then what do they know

         C                       F           G
If you can't go back, where the hell do you go?

       C                      F         G
Does everybody really feel as high as a kite?

       C                         F            G
Well I don't really know if they do but they might

Chorus:

Well
                C                                        F                   G
You wanna get young but you're just getting older
                C                                                  F         G
and you had a fun summer but it's suddenly colder 
                C                                               F                G
If you want a bit of love put your head on my shoulder
it's cool

#the rest of the song follows along the same pattern until the bridge

F
Half baked girl

         C
Hey, I'm hardly surprised

F                   C
Snake eyes disguise everybody's lies

                                                         F                   C
                 F                   C
Faded nail marks on pale thighs and an awkward secret that someone denies


               F                           C
And now you're trying to get yourself back in

           F                           C
And you?re trying to get yourself back in

        G
Come on in

        G
Come on in   oooohhhh!!

#the rest of the song continues as the chorus gradually gets louder and faster

Post Break-up Sex

Said Justin Young to the NME regarding this song: &quot;I think people can work out this one! Hopefully it's interpreted as frank rather than crass. I like the term 'gloriously dumb.' We've all felt like this, but I'd never heard a song that dealt with it.&quot; (Source Post Break-Up Sex Songfacts) 

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

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,

Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far

and you wanna go out and kill yourself

Overreacting

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
