A minorAm
We met at the New Years Party of my vegetarian friend.
DmDm
I said I was studying English, I told you I was in a band
A minorAm
I asked what the band was called, I said it?s called The Burning Hell
DmDm E MajorE A minorAm
I said I?ve never heard of you, I said that?s probably just as well
A minorAm
Just to make conversation I told you about a dream I had in which Jean Baudrillard was rapping
with Public Enemy
DmDm
Shouting ?don?t believe the hyperreal? with Flava Flav and Chuck D MajorD
A minorAm
And I said I think we might have a lot in common then, possibly,
DmDm E MajorE A minorAm
Because I?m also a musician and also a student of hip-hoposophy
A minorAm
You mentioned you used to play the clarinet in high school in the early years of the millennium when
you were young
DmDm
And you said you?re hired, the pay is negligible, and the tour starts next month
A minorAm
You asked what I was working on, I said I?m writing an album of love songs
DmDm E MajorE A minorAm
I laughed and said love songs are dumb, and I said oh yeah, wait til you hear these ones
C majorC DmDm
Pass the wine, fuck the government, I love you
A minorAm E MajorE
Three statements overheard at once in the crowded room
C majorC DmDm
But I could not be sure which one had come from you
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
So I passed you the wine and said yes, fuck the government, I love you too.
Solo:

A minorAm
Though neither of us are accomplished dancers we danced a little bit
DmDm
My vegetarian friend was playing the hits of Will Smith, and we got jiggy with it
A minorAm
There on the dance floor, the living room dance floor, that?s when it happened
DmDm E MajorE A minorAm
You stole my heart, I stole a kiss, we stole someone else?s gin by accident
A minorAm
At some point we got cornered by an amateur poet neither of us knew
DmDm
Either he had no one else to talk to or just couldn?t pick up simple social cues
A minorAm
Step by step we backed away until we backed up all the way into the bathroom together
DmDm E MajorE A minorAm
We told the poet that we always go together ?cause that?s what happens when you?ve been dating forever
A minorAm
We stayed in there for ages hoping the amateur poet would go, it was awkward
DmDm
We came out and found he?d discovered someone else to bother,
A minorAm
And suddenly it was midnight and auld lang syne time and countdowns and gratuitous public making out
DmDm E MajorE A minorAm
And we started shouting because everyone else was shouting and isn?t it fun to shout?
C majorC DmDm
Pass the wine, fuck the government, I love you
A minorAm E MajorE
Three statements overheard at once in the crowded room
C majorC DmDm
But I could not be sure which one had come from you
A minorAm E MajorE A minorAm
So I passed you the wine and said yes, fuck the government, I love you too.
C majorC DmDm
Pass the wine, fuck the government, I love you
A minorAm E MajorE
Three statements overheard at once in the crowded room
C majorC DmDm
But I could not be sure which one had come from you
