Amaj7            Bm7          C#m7
Silver shone the rooftops, I heard the words 'you will'
    E7                              A       B7sus4      E
And realized that in your eyes, the force of love could kill

So go and get your wages, get what you deserve

When hope held out of it's hands today, you laughed and turned and fled

Chorus:
Dmaj7
Release, 'cos I wanted the world,

and all I could get to was a gun or a girl

I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay

     E7                                      A       B7sus4    E
And all that's left to warm your breast's the wine we stole tonight
Amaj7                         C#m7
Bottle merchants both of us, overdosed on keats,
    E7                   Amaj7   Bm             A               Amaj7
we smashed them all and watched them fall like magic in the streets

Dmaj7
Release, 'cos I wanted the world,

and all I could get to was a gun or a girl

I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay

Verse 3:
B                   C#m7        D#m7              Dm7
Standing in our new boots, we've lost the urge to hide
   F#7                           B       C#7sus4    F#
We left it with the souvenirs that forced us to decide
B                   C#m7       D#m7         Dm7
How we'd storm the palace, meet me at the gates
    F#7                 Bmaj7        C#m6          B    Bmaj7   B
There's plenty bread and water here for anyone who waits

Chorus:
E
Release, 'cos I wanted the world,
   C#7
and all I could get to was a gun or a girl
E
Release, now I've thrown them away
   C#7
I'm here and I'm hungry and I hope I can stay
E
But you can't remember where you squandered your hope
   C#7
A fistful of dollars and a fistful of dope
     E
With your hands in your hair and your hair in your face
       C#7
You'd better summon your soul because we're leaving this place
    Emaj7                    C#7
With a red, red flag and a red red flag
    Emaj7             C#7
A red red flag for a souvenir
    Emaj7                    C#7
With a red, red flag and a red red flag
    Emaj7             C#7
A red red flag for a souvenir
