'New Art For The People' by The Indelicates - http://www.indelicates.com/

The song is actually 2 semitones higher but you may find these chords easier to play (and sing!).


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.
