(intro)
A                 D
Emily Chambers would make it pay
A                   D
Everyone knew she'd turn out that way
    Bm                        D
She turned her back and she'll be O.K
        Bm            E
But she's not O.K at all

(verso 2)
A                 D
Every night with the radio on (2nd time round 'with the lamp light on')
A                 D
Emily fears that the day won't come
    Bm                  D
The moon is there to do her harm
      Bm            E
She's not alright at all

(refr?o)
      D                    E
Don't get arrested, don't buy a machine gun,
       A                     Bm
You're not on the run and you're not on the scene.
       D                   E
You're not so cool and you're not a jerk,
     A                      Bm
You may be a villain but no Patty Hearst
      D            E
You're Emily Chambers and what's worse
     A                    Bm
Is a whipping wind and a box in a hearse.
      D                           E
And a trigger in your head and a pen in your hand,
      A                      Bm
And the pain in the verse and the flat drying land,
      D                   E
And the thin of the air and a pain that hurts
       A                 Bm               D         E
You're Emily Chambers in the universe, oh, oh
