      Am
We'll take ourselves out in the street
    G                                F     C
And wear the blood in our cheeks like red roses
    Am                                G
We'll go from car to sleeping car and whisper in their sleeping ears
F                C
We were here, we were here

Am                G                F        
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road

    C               G
Hey love, we'll get away with it  
      F
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
    C               G
Hey love, we'll get away with it
   F
We'll run like we're awesome

   Am
We won't be disappointed
      G                        F
We'll fight like girls for our place at the table
    C
Our room on the floor
Am                G                F
We'll set off the geese of Beverly Road

    C               G
Hey love, we'll get away with it
      F
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
    C               G
Hey love, we'll get away with it

Am                            G
We're drunk and sparking, our legs are open
    F                       C
Our hands are covered in cake
                      Am
But I swear we didn't have any
G                 F
I swear we didn't have any

     C               G
Hey, love, we'll get away with it
      F
We'll run like we're awesome, totally genius
     C               G
Hey, love, we'll get away with it

Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight

Serve me the sky tonight
    F
Oh, come, come be my waitress and serve me tonight
                                        C
Serve me the sky with a big slice of lemon
