A Slow Slow Death

F
We felt a chill from the breeze move
 in from the east, London pat its 
own back
C
Those with the means for the 
megaphone will always provide us the
 soundtrack
F
I started to diarise the coming of 
flies when gloom is descending
C
So when it's back round again I know
 it's a false start and not an 
ending

F
Some days I struggle to move in 
elephant shoes, unwilling commuter
C
Anxiety in my chest, heart under 
duress, taps out of sharpshooter
F
Preoccupied now for days, by 
nostalgia waves, I hated the first 
time
C
A gambler's fallacy: The more I 
repeat, I won't be the punchline

[Bridge]
F
You
G
On a lilo
       Am
Are an island
       C         Em
Of the pacific
         F
And then me, me, me
     G
I am face down
     Am
In a puddle
Continúa después del anuncio
       C    E
On the high street

[Chorus]
F                  C             
I got your initials inside a 
    Am
heart tattoo
                     C        
We two in vermillion, we two a 
 G
lovers' coup
F                   C            
I got your initials inside a 
     Am
heart tattoo
                     C        
We two in vermillion, we two a 
 G
lovers' coup

F                    C
I know little, but I promise:
          Am     G     F   Em    
There's a slow, slow death if you 
 Dm
want it
F
if you want it

[Verse 2]
F
In time I will have to lie, these 
memories are mine, not in fact my 
father's
C
A schoolboy hero replaced, domestic 
disgrace, a sad scak, a martyr
F
We here are common as dirt, three 
lions on our shirt, with high 
expectations
C
Absolve this land of a Queen who 
feasts while we wean a small, 
hopeless nation

[Bridge]
F
You
G
On a lilo
       Am
Are an island
       C         Em
Of the pacific
         F
And then me, me, me
     G
I am face down
     Am
In a puddle
       C    E
On the high street

[Chorus]
F                  C             
I got your initials inside a 
    Am
heart tattoo
                     C        
We two in vermillion, we two a 
 G
lovers' coup
F                   C            
I got your initials inside a 
     Am
heart tattoo
                     C        
We two in vermillion, we two a 
 G
lovers' coup

F                    C
I know little, but I promise:
          Am     G     F   Em    
There's a slow, slow death if you 
 Dm
want it
F
Yeah, I want it
