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
      Em Em/G  Em/A  Em/B  C
you'd be   a   work  of    art
    Em  Em/G Em/A Em/B C G/B
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

Bridge:

C                      A/C#
you got a look in your eye
                       D
when you're saying goodbye
                   B/D#
like you wanna say hi

Instrumental:

Em Em/G Em/A  Em/B  C (3X)
G/B Am  C

Verse 3:

Em7                         Am7
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


Repeat chorus 2X


For the chorus part, all you are doing is playing Em7 with an ascending
