verse 1

C
Don?t let the fear in

Don?t let the hatred through the door 
                      C/B               Am
And the fever, like a spider, walk your skin

Can you still hear him?

Still preaching science at the screen
                          C/B      C
While the doctors try to cover the sin

Oh it?s a mad world honey
                                                C/B         Am
And this crazy little man keeps spinning it and spinning it again

Don?t let the fear in

Don?t keep your naked little heart, trapped, beating in the cage its in


Chorus

F
We?re just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof
C
We?re just two young hearts running down the backstreets like we never went to school
F          Am                     C                   F
We?re just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice
           G        Am      F
We?re just birds of paradise



verse 2 is the same as verse 1

Beyond the white light
You don?t know if heavens in your mind 
And if hell is just a twinkle in your eye
You?ve led a short life
Short from the moment your were born 
To the moment that the sun filled the sky
Remember long nights honey?
When we were kids and love was ours to find
You?ve led a short life
Not even Valium can kill that k k k k kick inside

Chours is also the same

We?re just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof
We?re just two young hearts running down the backstreets like we never went to school
We?re just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice
We?re just birds of paradise


Bridge is all piano and vocals

So hold on
I know sometimes this crazy world can tear the flesh from our bones
Please hold on
And when sometimes you?re not yourself be glad at least you?re someone
Old Soldier
Lead us home

Chorus is identical

We?re just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof
We?re just two young hearts running down the backstreets like we never went to school
We?re just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice
We?re just birds of paradise
We?re just birds of paradise
We?re just birds of paradise
