Dm
First, boy, I think you should know
Dm
If you try hard then you might get a part as a
Dm
Doe-eyed impressionist mime
Dm
Bare as the lives of the footballers' wives
C7
That surround you, their diamonds aloft
C7
A system of pistons, arachnid and blistered
C7
A billboard, a murder of crows
C7
While princes fly drones that can see through your bones
Dm
And the wind stops, the temperature drops
Dm
And harpies melt through you like horses to glue
Dm9
I believe you, but not what you say
Dm9
To close it around 'til you're scorched and undrowned
C7
They devour you and totter in heels
C7
And who wants the Falklands, and who wants the Balkans?
C7
I love you, just like a bank
C7 Dm
There's so much to talk about that we don't talk about, boy
[Bridge]
Dm9 C7
Trust in me
C7
I fell
[Verse 2]
Dm
She said, "It fills me with dread
Dm
The people in Parliament don't know the half of it
Dm9
Please, son, it's only a sport
Dm9
The fate of a ball don't enthrall me at all"
C7
So relax here, go through it again
C7
Who have you seen knows what all of it means?
[Bridge]
C7 C7
I fell down, down
Dm C7
And I saw a billionaire
Dm
With all his innards nailed
Dm9 C7
To the walls, to the walls, to the West
Dm
Don't fear it now
Dm
But don't stop asking
[Verse 3]
Dm
Hey, man, you're probably right
Dm
It's not a galaxy made for a guy like me
Dm
Birdless, the edge of the world
Dm
The edge of my memory, some kind of energy
C7
Burned up and frittered away
C7
Bile in the gutters and gout for a god
C7
But I'm lawful, I kept my head down
C7
I turned a blind eye and I played my cards right
Dm
I'm in debt, man, I've waited too long
Dm
I bought all the right things, I thought all the right things
Dm9
I'm lonely, I don't know myself
Dm9
I thought there was something, I waited for something
[Outro]
C7
Oh, down,
C7
down
Dm
Don't leave
Dm
Don't leave
Dm
Don't leave
Dm9 C7
Don't leave me (To the walls, to the walls, to the West)
Dm
Don't leave
Dm
Don't let me down
