INTRO:
C#5 - B5 - C#5 - B5

VERSE 1:
C#5                                 B5 ( E5 - B5 )
Economic downturn you can get a job
C#5                                  B5
Apologetic parents you can get a job
              C#5                            B5         ( E5 - B5 )
Sometimes I'm feeling just like Cupid with a bow and arrow
        C#5                       B5
And I'm firing it at people who remain too shallow

CHORUS:
       C#5                       B5
In the B R I T I say British Isles
    C#5                    B5
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild

VERSE 2:
C#5                                         B5 ( E5 - B5 )
Terror on the pavement, panic in the street
C#5                                          B5
Tension in the twisted silence of our sheets
            C#5                          B5
Sometimes I lie awake for hours, feeling so synthetic
         C#5                                  B5
While my eyes are screaming out for something way more epic

CHORUS:
         C#5                       B5
It's the B R I T I say British Isles
    C#5                    B5
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild
C#5
Terribly bold they try so hard
B5
Never look up to see the stars
       C#5                      B5
In the B R I T I say British Isles

BRIDGE:
C#5
Leeds screaming, Bristol torn
B5
Belfast and Hull forlorn
C#5
Oxford dreaming in denial
B5
With all it's gleaming spires
C#5
Stoke bleeding, Glasgow yawns
B5
Dundee and Cardiff mourn
C#5
York breaking, Sheffield cries
B5
All fears are multiplied

CHORUS:
       C#5                       B5
In the B R I T I say British Isles
    C#5                    B5
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild
C#5
Terribly bold they try so hard
B5
Never look up to see the stars
       C#5                      B5
In the B R I T I say British Isles
