Alphabet Block

Gm                 Bb        
Quick fire, I'm on time, you're 
                      C
ahead of schedule
Blue walls, propaganda mixed with 
              Gm
scare stories
                        Bb         
Straight lines, colour coded, lead 
             C                     
the way to a dead end waiting room
 Gm

                       Bb
Machines throb, we're fluorescent in
 buzzing lights
C                                 
These corridors smell so strange 
                  Gm
in this alphabet block I'm in
Bb                    C
Fear and loathing and wondering

Alphabet block


[Pre-Chorus]
Cm          Eb
Holding on, holding on
Bb
Everybody's the same when it matters
Cm           Eb
Holding on, we're holding on
Bb                         Eb
Hold my hand, don't let me go (blend

Eb     Fm        Cm
Ru-un, ru-un, we won't waste a 
second
                        Bb
A second, you're out of time
          Cm                  
You might find, when you're on

[Verse 2]
Gm                   Bb   
Cigarettes, littered ground, 
                   C
medieval houses
All the cars bumper to bumper, not 
           Gm
enough space
                   Bb              
Break it down and resign to the 
             C                 Gm
fact that there are no promises here
                         Bb        
Drink this down, swallow hard, 
                        C
don't ask questions, right?
Just turn around, wait a week, till 
             Gm
the alphabet block is done
Bb                       C
Fear and loathing, still wondering

[Bridge]
Gm                            Eb
A softly spoken voice gives a choice
                                Bb
But I'm not ready to make a decision

Solitary soul, solitary soul
         Cm
'Cause I need you with your warm 
advice
      Eb
Won't hesitate, won't pay the price
Bb             N/C
All I ask of you: can we just...
