Intro:

I hope I scare people on public transport,
no shoes, my eyes rolling back into my head, 
I fell down the steps of the tram at the stop
where I used to get off to fall into bed with you.


Verse:

G                               C
But now it's just a long, long, lonely walk home. 
Em                     C
Edgy, wild eyes trying hard to stay strong, 
G                                C
Traversing the streets where the dogs and your old neighbours bark at me 
Em                        C
from behind fences that I swear are too small, 
G                       C
I miss the taste of the city asphalt 
Em                           C
and I miss the smell of your freshly washed hair, 
G                       C
And I miss the times we slept under bridges, 
Em                                   C
bummed cigarettes from strangers and no one else mattered 
G                            C
Today my mother flies out to Shanghai 
    Em                                 C
and today my father surely will catch me, 
    Em                          C                       G                             C
And today my sister will go to school and forget me, I wish I could tell her just how much I cared,

Chorus:

G                    C   
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave, 
Em                             A
the only thing that I remember now is your first name, 
G
And those heavy blankets 
C
and that shitty, little plastic fan 
Em                              C
and the way you had no idea who I am 


Verse 2:

G               C
Everything is a fucking eye strain 
Em                                  C
and I can't see my legs through the piss and the rain, 
G                                  C
And I hope to God that I can still spit, because 
Em                  C
fingers crossed our paths will cross again someday, 
G                              C
And the train wires circle the planned out city centre 
Em                              C
like vultures coming in for the kill, 


Bridge:

G
We're gonna take your money 
C
We're gonna take your money
Em
We're gonna take your money
C
and do nothing with it


Chorus:

G                    C   
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave, 
Em                             A
the only thing that I remember now is your first name, 
G
And those heavy blankets 
C
and that shitty, little plastic fan 
Em                              C
and the way you had no idea who I am 


Outro:

G
We're gonna take your money 
C
We're gonna take your money
Em
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money 
G
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money
Em
We're gonna take your money
C
