You Will Never Take Me Alive chords by The Paper Chase

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
A augmentedA

A augmentedA
Let's hear it for circuits
lines drawn in the earth
cut to scramble for ample
                D MajorD
little mouse hole to park your new car
         A augmentedA
and chew off our arms
with teeth we are losing from slow, comfy screwings
three cheers for the backseats
                 D MajorD
you legs pinned that look in your eye
           A augmentedA
you'll never take me alive

    E MajorE
this is what you are
         A augmentedA
you are what you are

let's hear it for mirrors
with the ghost image clearer
                         D MajorD
hip hip for the pig that religiously belts you undone
           A augmentedA
this little piggy had none
'cause god hates our country
she told me she wants me to sing out "he's female!"
                D MajorD
three cheers for the gal in the sky
           A augmentedA
you'll never take me alive

    E MajorE
this is what you are
    A augmentedA
you are what you are
    E MajorE        D MajorD
this is what you are

    A augmentedA            F# minorF#m
do you know what it means to be doomed?
    D MajorD            E MajorE
do you know what it means to be cursed?
     A augmentedA              F# minorF#m
when the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
     D MajorD           E MajorE
you know they're hiding bodies north

    A augmentedA              F# minorF#m
did you know that we're sinking knee-deep?
    D MajorD             E MajorE
did you nail down what you plan to keep?
     A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
when the poltergeist pushes his freight on your shore
    E MajorE
you are done for
done for
   A augmentedA
done for

  A augmentedA
the caskets are coughing with quotable quoting
                               D MajorD
the graveyard is littered with loves who thought there was no doubt
             A augmentedA
the world could not live without

    E MajorE
this is what you are
    A augmentedA
you are what you are
    E MajorE        D MajorD
this is what you are

   DbDb              A augmentedA
if i live through the day when the comet does come
    E MajorE           D MajorD
i will write every one on my list one by one
DbDb
sharpen the axe
     A augmentedA
stomp the flames out on backs
    E MajorE
i will be who you want me to be
    BB           DbDb
i will be who you want me to be

    A augmentedA            F# minorF#m
do you know what it means to be doomed?
    D MajorD            E MajorE
do you know what it means to be cursed?
     A augmentedA              F# minorF#m
when the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
     D MajorD           E MajorE
you know they're hiding bodies north

    A augmentedA               F# minorF#m
did you know that your boot heels are stuck?
    D MajorD              E MajorE
losing feet worth the rabbit's good luck
     A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
when the devil is resting his head on your door
    E MajorE
you are done for
done for
   A augmentedA
done for

    E MajorE
you are done for
done for
   A augmentedA
done for

    A augmentedA            B minorBm
did you know that you nurse a beehive?
     DbmDbm
come and get it
       D MajorD
come take me alive
    DbDb          BB
all the nooses are raining a grizzly frontier
    E MajorE
we will show this cruel world
    D MajorD               A augmentedA
we will show this cruel world we were here
