C      G      Am
But for the cum in your hair,
F            Am
The cocaine on your teeth
C      G      Am
You'd be just like the girls
F            Am
That I kissed on the heath
C      G      Am
Your mother left and you're all alone
F      G      C
And the world is at your feet
G      F      Am      C
You smell like ash, mildew and hash
F      G      Am
Can barely even speak


F            G            Am            F
And it's so sad that you're so sad and you're so bad for me
F            G            Am            F
I followed your perfume as you ran down the street
F            G            Am            F
I caught you and held you and pushed back your fringe and swore undying loyalty
F            G
We'll make a new art for the people,
Am            F
A new art for the people
F            G
A new art for the people
Am
you and me.


C      G      Am
I followed you home
F            Am
Knocked at your door
C      G      Am
Offered myself in the kitchen
F            Am
Passed out on the floor
C      G      Am
And when you shout, I get terrified
F      G      C
And then I love you more
G      F      Am      C
You sound middle class, but I'll let it pass,
F      G      Am
I don't understand you at all


F            G            Am            F
And it's so sad that you're so sad and you're so bad for me
F            G            Am            F
I swallowed my pride with a pill and decided to give you back your key
F            G            Am            F
You caught me and held me and I took your hand and swore undying loyalty
F            G
We'll make a new art for the people,
Am            F
A new art for the people
F            G
A new art for the people
Am
you and me.


C      G      Am
Under the covers forever
F            Am
Everything well within reach
C      G      Am
A small price to pay for our freedom
F            Am
And for our celebrity
C      G      Am
Such ornaments and gorgeous things
F      G      C
Like string lights at the beach
G      F      Am      C
Intensive care and conditioned air
F      G      Am
And our faces on TV


F            G            Am            F
And it's so sad but they're so glad that you're so bad for me
F            G            Am            F
The dark days ahead and the blood on the bed and the cover of the NME
F            G            Am            F
They gave us a cheque and took us by our necks and swore undying loyalty
F            G
We'll make a new art for the people,
Am            F
A new art for the people
F            G
A new art for the people
Am
you and me.
