Fairytales And Firesides

D


[Verse I]

       D              G      
We are bitter losers, snarling 
              D
through our smiles
          Bm               
We're the lost boys, in the 
 G           A
supermarket isles
      G                            
We're Christmas dogs, dumped by the
 A
 side of the road
D                 F#m     Bm
Confused, we will run for miles
       G
We are road rage
       A
We are stone age
       D
We are wild


[Verse II]

       D                       
We are busted light bulbs, in a 
 G               D
backstreet neon sign
          Bm                G     
We're the shaking gun, in a 
          A
service station line
      G
We'll drink though we're drunk,
      A
We'll sink though we've sunk
      D             F#m            
We're f****d but we say that we're 
Bm
fine
G
We are rampage,
A                          D
Missing back pages in our spine

[Chorus]

   G                         
We long, for journeys and the 
 D   A
roadside
   G                           D   
We long, for starlight and the low 
A
tide
         G                         
Yeah, we long, for fairy tales and 
D    A
fire sides
    D
And oh,

[Verse III]

       D
We are coffee house cynics,
    G                       D
Too righteous, too rigid to believe
    Bm
Disappointed romantics,
G                            A
Scraping the hearts from our sleeves
          G
We're the toothless drunk,
          A
We're the ageing punk
             D
Yeah, we are Adam,
          F#m             Bm
We're the apple and we're Eve
G                         A      
We are beggars with shiny 
         D
pennies, on our knees


[Chorus]

   G                        
We long, for sunlight on the 
 D   A
hillsides
         G                        
Yeah, we long, for yesterdays and 
D   A
hindsight
       G                        
Oh, we long, for fairy tales and 
 D    A
fire sides

And oh

        G                     
Yeah we long for carnivals and 
 D          A
fairground rides
       G                        
Oh, we long for journeys and the 
 D   A
roadsides
       G                        D 
Oh, we long for fairy tales and 
  A
