Intro
E ,  G ,  C ,  Bb , C#

E                                 G
  Take back the instant, when you brushed him off your shirt
C
  You tried to drag him to the trash
Bb                       C#
  You tried to trade him in for cash

E                                 G
  Take back the instant, when you blew him off your path
C
  With a kiss reading 20 below zero
Bb                 C#
  Tomorrow is a no-go, a no-go

E                            G
  Cold cold moment, when the first doubt shot through your head
  C
A black ink drip running through your veins
      Bb                   C#
Start ___________________  bringing you sweet pain

E                   G
  Pregnant seconds, dripping through the hour glass
         C
When the lure of men who could be kings
         Bb                    C#
Made you lose the man, who was wearing your ring

E
  He didn't match your lucious thoughts tonight
G
  You couldn't look him in the eye
C                                   Bb         C#
  Awkward is the embrace, when it's not tight,
(N/C)
Not tight

E
  And so the jewel you once both had
        G
Is left crumpled, like a collapsed lung
C                             Bb                   C#                
  When all you had to do, was hang out in the sun,
                E     G     C     Bb    C#
Hang out in the sun

E                                 G
  Sir you feel so dignified, your watch is very ornate
             C
But you were just born into the right place
Bb                 C#
Just born into the right race

E                                    G
  You're climbing mount everest now, granting wishes from above
C
  Favours are yours to give
Bb                     C#
Lies are yours to live

E                              G
  Take back the instants, that lead you to believe
         C
That the earth shakes cos youre not happy
        Bb                      C#
And the sun rises cos youre not sleeping

E
  Youve got the loudest parade in town
G
Clowns assasins and crooks
    C
You got ladies in see-through gowns
Bb               C#
Reading extracts from your books

E
  Beggars are trailing at the back
G
  Waving from the cardboard float
C
  Youre thinking that up close
Bb                C#
Statistics can be such a drag

E                       G
  Your cup is full now, blood is the colour of this wine
        C
And its dripping from the ceiling
        Bb
And its making the chandeliers ring
        C#
And the instant the ballroom over flows,
A9                            E      G      C      Bb   C#
     Your throats turn into your gallows


This is a great song performed by a fantastic band.
Im sure all of this (with the exception of the A sustained 2) is correct!
Enjoy
