Chords
Bbm F
I am trying to be heroic
F# C# G#
In an age of modernity
Bbm F
I am trying to be heroic
F# D#m D#m7
Because all around me history sings
Bbm F
So I enjoyed and I devoured
D#m C# C#maj7
Flesh and wine and luxury
Bbm
But in my heart
F
I am lukewarm
F# F# Bbm
Nothing ever really touches me
Riff:
Bbm C# D#m F D#m F F# G#
Bbm F#
At Les Trois Garcons
D#m Bbm
We meet at precisely 9 o'clock
Bbm F#
I order the foie gras
D#m Bbm
And I e-e-e-eat it with complete disdain
Bbm C#
Bubbles rise in champagne flutes
Fm Bbm
But when we kiss, I feel nothing
Bbm C#
Feasting on sleeping pills
Fm Bbm
And Marlboro Reds
(So busy won't save you)
Bbm C# D#m F D#m F
Oh how our parents
F# G# Bbm C#
They suffered for nothing
D#m F D#m F
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
F# G# Bbm C#
Like the 80s never happened
D#m F D#m F
People are afraid, are afraid
F# G#m Bbm C D#m F D#m F
To merge on the freeway
F# G#
Disappear here
Riff:
Bbm C# D#m F D#m F F# G#
Bbm F#
Stroll the pier
D#m Bbm
Into the magazine launch party
Bbm F#
I am handed a pill
D#m Bbm
And I swa-a-a-allow with complete disdain
Bbm C#
Kick-drum bangs off the high-hat
Fm Bbm
Remember to look bored
Bbm C#
We suck each others' faces
Fm Bbm
And make sure we are noticed
(Cocaine won't save you)
Because East London is a vampire
It sucks the joy right out of me
How we long for corruption in these golden years
Bbm C# D#m F D#m F
Oh how our parents
F# G# Bbm C#
They suffered for nothing
D#m F D#m F
Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream
F# G# Bbm C#
Like the 80s never happened
D#m F D#m F
People are afraid, are afraid
F# G#m Bbm C D#m F D#m F
To merge on the freeway
F# G#
Disappear here
