Buy all the papers, Sell them on ebay;
Bb5      C5
Your dissertation is due in two days.
Bb5      C5
Read the tributes on the 'net,
Bb5      C5
Move on, try to forget,

F5            D5
Find out what a french man says,
Bb5      C5
Cut the words into your chest,
Bb5      C5
Bleed for days,
Bb5      C5
Stumble home in a haze:

D5      Bb5
We know so much
D5      Bb5
We know so much

F5      Bb5
We're sitting on the hillside
C5      Bb5
Contemplating our careers.
F5      Bb5
The sun slowly sets -
C5      Bb5
The city disappears.
F5      C5
All the things we understand and
D5      Bb5
All the things we try:
Bb5      C5      F5
Waiting for Pete Doherty to die...

F5      D5
Someone come and tap this pain!
Bb5      C5
I haven't cried since Kurt Cobain.
Bb5      C5
Take my money all away
Bb5      C5
I never earned a penny anyway

F5      D5
Give me drugs and give me sex and
Bb5      C5
Blood diseases! Broken legs!
Bb5      C5
Give me peace and give me news
Bb5      C5
Cry me to sleep with the blues.

D5      Bb5
We know so much
D5      Bb5
We know so much

F5      Bb5
We're sitting on the hillside
C5      Bb5
Contemplating our careers.
F5      Bb5
The sun slowly sets -
C5      Bb5
The city disappears.
F5      C5
All the things we understand and
D5      Bb5
All the things we try:
Bb5      C5      F5
Waiting for Pete Doherty to die...

And love must have
What love wants
And love must have
What love wants

We're sitting on the hillside
Contemplating our careers.
The sun slowly sets -
The city disappears.
All the things we understand and
All the things we try:
Waiting for Pete Doherty to die...

We're sitting on the hillside
Contemplating our careers.
Everything seems grey these days,
Perhaps it's been that way for years?
We won prizes for our youth
In the days gone by
Now we're waiting for Pete Doherty to die.
