Capo 1

Intro
E5 ,  G5 ,  C5 ,  Bb5 , C#5

E5                                 G5
  Take back the instant, when you brushed him off your shirt
C5
  You tried to drag him to the trash
Bb5                       C#5
  You tried to trade him in for cash

E5                                 G5
  Take back the instant, when you blew him off your path
C5
  With a kiss reading 20 below zero
Bb5                 C#5
  Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go

E5                            G5
  Cold cold moment, when the first doubt shot through your head
  C5
A black ink drip running through your veins
      Bb5                   C#5
Start ___________________  bringing you sweet pain

E5                   G5
  Pregnant seconds, dripping through the hour glass
         C5
When the lure of men who could be kings
         Bb5                    C#5
Made you lose the man, who was wearing your ring

E5
  He didn't match your lucious thoughts tonight
G5
  You couldn't look him in the eye
C5                                   Bb5         C#5
  Awkward is the embrace, when it's not tight,
(N/C)
Not tight

E5
  And so the jewel you once both had
        G5
Is left crumpled, like a collapsed lung
C5                             Bb5                   C#5                
  When all you had to do, was hang out in the sun,
                E5     G5     C5     Bb5    C#5
Hang out in the sun

E5                                 G5
  Sir you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate
             C5
But you were just born into the right place
Bb5                 C#5
Just born into the right race

E5                                    G5
  You're climbing mount everest now, granting wishes from above
C5
  Favours are yours to give
Bb5                     C#5
Lies are yours to live

E5                              G5
  Take back the instants, that lead you to believe
         C5
That the earth shakes cos youre not happy
        Bb5                      C#5
And the sun rises cos youre not sleeping

E5
  Youve got the loudest parade in town
G5
Clowns assasins and crooks
    C5
You got ladies in see-through gowns
Bb5               C#5
Reading extracts from your books

E5
  Beggars are trailing at the back
G5
  Waving from the cardboard float
C5
  Youre thinking that up close
Bb5                C#5
Statistics can be such a drag

E5                       G5
  Your cup is full now, blood is the colour of this wine
        C5
And its dripping from the ceiling
        Bb5
And its making the chandeliers ring
        C#5
And the instant the ballroom over flows,
A5                            E5      G5      C5      Bb5   C#5
     Your throats turn into your gallows


This is a great song performed by a fantastic band.
Im sure all of this (with the exception of the A sustained 2) is correct!
Enjoy
