G
It just about dawn
and the colours have gone
F
to a concrete gunshot grey
Strobe lights flash,
and blind our eyes
C
walking into a cheap cafe
G
Its about skin
needles and pens
F
and getting yourself a taste
i'm looking at her
through a stoli blur
C
and thinkin' "aw, what a waste"
Dm
oh, oh
C
i hope you know the way back home
[Chorus]
G
Bring me down before i fall
F
i've danced this high graffiti wall
C G
so long it feels i've been up here forever
G
touch my face and blow away
F
this fever whisper when you say
C G
"it's you and me against the world together"
[Verse]
G
that money machine
that river o' green
F
has seen its better days
honey leg girls kick and twirl
C
cause theres always somebody who plays
G
the poetry of poverty
F
won't give up without a fight
to tell you the truth
all i'm trying to do
C
is get through another night
Dm
oh, oh
C
i want you more than ever right now
[Chorus]
G
Bring me down before i fall
F
i've danced this high graffiti wall
C G
so long it feels i've been up here forever
G
touch my face and blow away
F
this fever whisper when you say
C G
"it's you and me against the world together"
[Bridge]
If your looking for an exit sign
or just a door don waste your time
they built it wide, they built it tall graffiti wall's impossible to climb
G F C G
Dm
oh, oh
C
somebody get me out of this berlin
[Chorus]
G (one strum)
Bring me down before i fall
F (one strum)
i've danced this high graffiti wall
C (one strum) G (build up)
so long it feels i've been up here forever
G
touch my face and blow away
F
this fever whisper when you say
C G
"it's you and me against the world together"
