E5                     A5
baby britain feels the best
G5              C5
floating over a sea of vodka
E5                A5
separated from the rest
G5                   C5
fights problems with bigger problems
E5                     A5
sees the ocean fall and rise
G5                         C5
counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
E5                    A5
water pouring from her eyes
G5            C5
alcoholic and very bitter

Chorus:
    E5 E5 E5 E5  C5
for someone half as   smart
      E5 E5  E5  E5  C5
you'd be   a   work  of    art
    E5  E5 E5 E5 C5 G5  
you put your-self  a-  part
A5                    C5
and i can't help until you start

Verse 2:
E5                        A5
we knocked another couple back
G5                       C5
the dead soliders lined up on the table
E5                     A5
still prepared for an attack
G5                           C5
they didn't know they'd been disabled
E5                    A5
felt a wave a rush of blood
G5                     C5
you won't be happy til the bottle's broken
E5                            A5
and you're out swimming in the flood
G5                 C5
you kept back kept unspoken

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
C5                      A5
you got a look in your eye
                       D5
when you're saying goodbye
                   B5
like you wanna say hi

Instrumental:
E5 E5 E5  E5  C5 (3X)

G5 A5  C5
Verse 3:
E5                         A5
the light was on but it was dim
G5              C5
revolver's been turned over
E5                      A5
and now it's ready once again
G5                     C5
the radio was playing crimson and clover
E5                       A5
london bridge is safe and sound
G5                      C5
no matter what you keep repeating
E5                     A5
nothing's gonna drag me down
G5                 C5
to a death that's not worth cheating


Repeat chorus 2X
