Scoundrel Days

Em9/B
  Was that somebody screaming
Em9
  It wasn't me for sure
Gm7/Bb
  I lift my head up from uneasy pillows
Gm7/9+
  Put my feet on the floor
Dm
  Cut my wrist on a bad thought
Gm7/9+
  And head for the door

Em9/B
  Outside on the pavement
Em9
  The dark makes no noise
Gm7/Bb
  I can feel the sweat on my lips
Gm7/9+
  Leaking into my mouth
Dm7
  I'm heading out for the steep hills
Gm7/9+                        Em9/B
  They're leaving me no choice

    Em G D
And se...e
       Am               C G   D Am
as our lives are in the making
    Em G D
We believe
             Am          C G   D
through the lies and the hating
     Am         Em
That love goes free

Em9/B
  For want of an option
Em9
  I run the wind round
Gm7/Bb
  I dream pictures of houses burning
      Gm/9+
Never knowing nothing else to do
F                       C
  With death comes the morning
Gm
  Unannounced and new

Em9/B   Gm/D Dm Gm Em9/B
  Was it too much to ask for
Em9
  To pull a little weight
Gm7/Bb
  They forgive everything but greatness
Gm/9+
  These are scoundrel days
Dm7
  And I'm close to calling out their names
Gm7/9+                Em9/B
  As pride hits my face

    Em G D
And se...e
       Am               C G   D Am
as our lives are in the making
    Em G D
We believe
             Am          C G   D
through the lies and the hating
     Am         Gm Gm/F Em7/5-
That love goes free
         Eb7+      Gm Gm/F Em7/5- Eb7+
Through scoundrel days

( Gm Gm/F Em7/5- Eb7+ )

Em9/B)
  I reach the edge of town
Em9
  I've got blood in my hair
Gm7/Bb
  Their hands touch my body
Gm7/9+
  From everywhere
Dm7
  But I know as I've made it
Gm7/9+                 Em9/B
  As I run into the air

    Em G D
And se...e
       Am               C G   D Am
As our lives are in the making
    Em G D
We believe
             Am          C G   D
Through the lies and the hating
     Am         Gm Gm/F Em7/5-
That love goes free
         Eb7+      Gm Gm/F Em7/5- Eb7+
Through scoundrel days
