Em7 Am7
baby britain feels the best
G C
floating over a sea of vodka
Em7 Am7
separated from the rest
G C
fights problems with bigger problems
Em7 Am7
sees the ocean fall and rise
G C
counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
Em7 Am7
water pouring from her eyes
G C
alcoholic and very bitter
Chorus:
Em Em/G Em/A Em/B C
for someone half as smart

you put your-self a- part
Am C
and i can't help until you start
Verse 2:
Em7 Am7
we knocked another couple back
G C
the dead soliders lined up on the table
Em7 Am7
still prepared for an attack
G C
they didn't know they'd been disabled
Em7 Am7
felt a wave a rush of blood
G C
you won't be happy til the bottle's broken
Em7 Am7
and you're out swimming in the flood
G C
you kept back kept unspoken
Repeat chorus

when you're saying goodbye

the light was on but it was dim
G C
revolver's been turned over
Em7 Am7
and now it's ready once again
G C
the radio was playing crimson and clover
Em7 Am7
london bridge is safe and sound
G C
no matter what you keep repeating
Em7 Am7
nothing's gonna drag me down
G C
to a death that's not worth cheating
