Song 1: Our Perfect Disease
No Capo


Verse 1:
F#m
We don't admit it but we've never seen eye to eye,
A                          Bm
my heartbeat's moaning and yours is making money
F#m
It's always a shock when old friends pass by,
A                    Bm
but with you it's no death in the family
F#m
Let's not talk about hate when there's hell to pay
A                     Bm
for my cowardness and your bad timing
F#m
We don't admit it but we've never seen eye to eye,
A                     Bm
and it's not through a lack of trying

Interlude:
F#m A Bm
F#m A Bm E

Chorus:
                     D
It was the perfect disease we had,
                A            C#
something to argue and scream about
                           D
And you will see about contracting back,
                  A                      C#
and locking it somewhere it can't get ripped out
                      D
It was the perfect disease we had,
              A             C#            D
and it hits us like a painful fact
            Dm                   F#m
We all need someone to drive us mad

Post chorus:
F#m                            A       Bm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh
F#m                            A       Bm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh

Verse 2:
F#m
I didn't say it but you never were the honest type,
A                       Bm
you tried to fabricate a bed-time story
F#m
And now I miss those games we had of Jekyll and Hyde,
A                          Bm
ever since the day that we parted company
F#m
Don't send a helping hand I need a farrowing ram,
A                           Bm
to feed the reasons that I miss you so sorely
F#m
I didn't say it but we never saw eye to eye,
A                            Bm
now I can't bear it when equally is boring

Interlude:
F#m A Bm
F#m A C#

Chorus:
                     D
It was the perfect disease we had,
                A            C#
something to argue and scream about
                           D
And you will see about contracting back,
                  A                      C#
and locking it somewhere it can't get ripped out
                      D
It was the perfect disease we had,
              A             C#            D
and it hits us like a painful fact
            Dm         C#         F#m
We all need someone to drive us mad

Post chorus:
F#m                            A       Bm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh
F#m                            A       Bm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh

Bridge:
F#m                                        A    G
I need you in the TV, I need you on the train, I need you every single which way
F#m                                          A  G
I need you in the mirrors, I need you in my bed, I need you to wreck my head
F#m                                        A    G
I need you in the TV, I need you on the train, I need you just to stand in my way
F#m                                           E
I need you in the mirrors, I need you in my bed

Chorus:
                     D
It was the perfect disease we had,
              A            C#
something to argue and scream about
                           D
And you will see about contracting back,
                  A                      C#
and locking it somewhere it can't get ripped out
                      D
It was the perfect disease we had,
              A             E            D
and it hits us like a painful fact
            Dm           C#       F#m
We all need someone to drive us mad


Song 2: Tokyo (Vampires And Wolves)
No Capo

Verse:
Am                   C  Dm
We're self imploding
Dm               Em      F
Under the weight of your advice
F         Am      C  Dm
I wear a suitcase
Dm             Em    F
Under each one of my eyes
Am    C  Dm
Finally
Dm         Em      F
I know now what it takes
F       Am C Dm    G
It takes money and aeroplanes

Chorus:
Dm                    Am
If you love me let me go
Am           F
Back to that bar in Tokyo
F           G            Am
Where the demons from my past
F
Leave me in peace
        Dm              Am
I'll be animating every night
Am                F
The grass will be greener on the other side
F       G            Am
And the Vampires and Wolves
F
Won't sink their teeth
F                            Am    C Dm
I'm sick of dancing with the beast

Interlude:
Dm Em F

Verse:
     Am   C Dm
Astrophysics
Dm                 Em      F
you'll never be my closest friend
          Am     C Dm
I find no comfort
Dm              Em    F
in what my mind can't comprehend
Am    C  Dm
Finally
Dm         Em      F
I know now what it takes
F       Am C Dm    G
It takes money and aeroplanes

Chorus:
Dm                    Am
If you love me let me go
Am           F
Back to that bar in Tokyo
F           G            Am
Where the demons from my past
F
Leave me in peace
        Dm              Am
I'll be animating every night
Am                F
The grass will be greener on the other side
F       G            Am
And the Vampires and Wolves
F
Won't sink their teeth
F                            Am
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
          G        Am       F
No matter how much it needs me
       G              Am     F
Go and follow someone else's lead

Chorus:
Dm                    Am
If you love me let me go
Am           F
Back to that bar in Tokyo
F           G            Am
Where the demons from my past
F
Leave me in peace
        Dm              Am
I'll be animating every night
Am                F
The grass will be greener on the other side
F       G            Am
And the Vampires and Wolves
F
Won't sink their teeth
F                            Am
I'm sick of dancing with the beast


Song 3: Jump Into The Fog
Capo 2


Verse 1:
A             Bm               D
What a great achievement it was to get a hotel room this late
A             Bm                    D
I bet they charge by the hour here, the kind of place where you should bring your own UV ray
A             Bm                    D
It's not a big problem with me, love, you don't look that hygienic anyway
A           Bm         D
I'm only here because I want to twist the structure of my average day

Chorus:
A                  Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G                           Bm    D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A                  Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G                       Bm             D
I just hope it's your bones that shatter not mine
A                  Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G                          Bm     D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A                  Bm            G     Bm D
We feel nothing so jump into the fog

Verse 2:
A             Bm                 D
What a great achievement it was, to find someone who shirks such little self-restraint
A             Bm               D
I'm a non believer but I believe in these dirty little wicked games
A                      Bm               D
Snakes and ladders abandoned here love, the climb's too rough to slide back down again
A            Bm        D
I'm only here because I feel the day deserves a truly sordid end

Chorus:
A                  Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G                         Bm    D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A                  Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G                         Bm             D
I just hope it's your brains that splatter not mine
A                  Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G                          Bm    D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A                  Bm            G   Bm D
We feel nothing so jump into the fog

Bridge:
               Em                   G            D       F#m
I've made some bad decisions, I'll admit that freely
               Em                           G               D       F#m (Fm)
It's just that life tastes sweeter when it's wrapped in debauchery
               Em                          G
So drop your map, drop your plans, drop that five-step program
               D                              F#m
Because there's not an ounce of faith in this leap
               E               G                     D
It's clear you feel nothing so jump into the fog with me

Jump in, jump in, jump in



Song 4: Anti-D
No Capo


Intro:
C F Am F

Chorus:
        C      F  Am         F        C     F   Am
Please allow me to be your anti-depressant
   F                  C   F   Am       F      C      F   Am    F
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant

Verse:
C                           Am
We kick back and let the pills do the talking
C                         Am
People hear a distinct rattle when we're walking
C                                                    D   F
Then there's the extra two stone that's our only guarantee

C                              Am
Our vivid dreams are just like big production movies
C                           Am
They get entangled well within our daily routines
C                                            D     F
So please re-think or use my trademark strategy

Chorus:
            C      F   Am         F        C     F   Am
And please allow me to be your anti-depressant
   F                  C   F   Am       F      C      F   Am    F
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant

Post-Chorus:
C F Am F
aaa aaa...

Verse:
C                       G             Am              G
It's hard to smile when you're as flattened as a pancake
C                       G      Am                 G
The only tears come from our heads when we concentrate
C                                         D        F
Perhaps I'm being unjust or perhaps you agree

Dm                          F
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
            Am                       F
I needed more than what was in those 40 milligrams
    Dm                     F
So cast away with the doctor's plans

Chorus:
        C      F   Am         F        C     F   Am
Please allow me to be your anti-depressant
   F                  C   F   Am       F      C      F   Am    F
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant

Interlude:
C F Am F
na na na na...  aaa...

Outro:
Dm                          F
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
            Am                   F
Although I felt as grim as the reaper man
    Dm                    F
So cast away with the doctor's plans
C         F       Am     F           C
Like me


Song 5: Last Night I Dreamt...
No Capo


Intro:
C Am F Fm x2

Verse:
C
I'm a good friend and an excellent lover
      Am                                  F
I can fool myself just like no other person can
                   Fm
I'm turning into a twisted man

C
I haven't got any time for selfless deeds
       Am
What I do for you is indirectly for me
      F                                               Fm
I'm a stubborn boy, there's nothing here that you can break or destroy

Pre-Chorus:
F
Then as I count sheep in my bed
                          G#
A train of worry bullets through my head

Chorus:
C                            F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
               Am //A B C B on bass
Through all my talk of self-defeat
          G#            G
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
C                           F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
              Am //A B C B on bass
From now I'll curb the cynical speaking
              G#                         G
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me

Interlude:

Verse:
C
Someone once said I don't have any feelings
       Am
Well I think that emotions can be misleading
            F
And thinking back
                              Fm
I might have nailed the coffin shut with that
      C
As I tend to cry in a room full of laughter
       Am
Is the cheese finally sliding off of it's cracker?
F                                        Fm
I don't know I'll just prepare myself to let it go

Pre-Chorus:
F
As I count sheep in my bed
                        G#
A train of worry bullets through my head

Chorus:
C                            F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
               Am //A B C B on bass
Through all my talk of self-defeat
          G#            G
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
C                           F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
              Am //A B C B on bass
From now I'll curb the cynical speaking
              G#                         G             F
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
              G#                         G             F
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
              G#                         G             F        Fm
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me

C                          F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
                      Am      Am/B
And apart from when I lost my virginity
    C    G        G#             G
I've never been know to frighten easily


Song 6: Techno Fan
No Capo


D
East London's not a bomb site
G
It is a treasure chest
D
We use our penguin costumes
G
More than our evening dress
D
She said I should come over
G
Though the music's not my type
D
Don't you know I'd chop a limb off
Bm         A          G
Just to have a good time

D                                                            G
Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
Bm                     A                        G
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
D                                                            G
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
Bm                    A                G
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
                                D
I never knew I was a techno fan

D     G                  D
Wuuuuuuuuu  Wuuuuuu WuUu X2

D
This is not a weird weekend
G
It's an angry wormhole
D
I'm talking like a city boy
G
And drinking with a northern soul
D
She said I should come over
G
Though it's carnage at times
D
It still seems I'd chop a limb off
Bm         A        G
Before I put up a fight

D                                                            G
Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
Bm                      A                       G
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
D                                                            G
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
Bm                   A                G
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
G

We are the 1980s
G
We are the Detroit lights
Bm                     A                    G
And I never wanna, I never wanna see this stop
Em
I'm in debt to you
                        Gm
But don't feed me plant food
                D                                             G
Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
Bm                   A                    G
I didn't spend 20 sheets and not cut a shape
               D                                             G
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
Bm                    A                 G
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans

I never knew I was a techno fan

East London's not a bomb site
G
It is a treasure chest
D
We use our penguin costumes
G
More than our evening dress
D
She said I should come over
G
Though the music's not my type
D
Don't you know I'd chop a limb off
Bm         A          G
Just to have a good time

D
This is not a weird weekend
G
It's an angry wormhole
D
I'm talking like a city boy
G
And drinking with a northern soul
D
She said I should come over
G
Though it's carnage at times
D
It still seems I'd chop a limb off
Bm         A        G
Before I put up a fight

D                                                            G

Song 7: 1996
Capo 4


Verse 1:
C                        G
I had no cares in the 1990s
Em               D
I knew of no downfalls
C                                   G
Though war was breaking out all around me
Em                         D
My concerns were with prank calls

C
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
G         Em                 D
Right in front of the older kids
C                                 G
When our self belief, our self belief
         Em                    A
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
A
Cos now it feels like...


Chorus:
C                 G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Em              G
And the more I give the less I get
C                 G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Em                     D
There's little here to miss...

             C
Bring back 1996
G           Em
Bring back 1996
D                               C
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
G            Em    D
Bring back 1996


Verse 2:
C                                G
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
Em                     D
We were building telescopes
C                                   G
And sugar filled the whole of my body
Em                   D
As I urged it on to grow

C
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
G       Em                 D
Just to impress the older kids
C                                 G
When my self belief, my self belief
        Em                  A
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
A
Cos now it feels like...


Chorus:
C                 G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Em              G
And the more I give the less I get
C                 G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Em                     D
There's little here to miss...

             C
Bring back 1996
G           Em   A
Bring back 1996


Bridge:
C                      G
Stop talking, stop talking
Em                     D
I need a lover not a friend tonight
C                   G
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Em                       A
I'm not cut out for the modern life

Song 8: Walking Disasters
Capo 1


G                  Am                  Em   C
She used to get her kicks from a fall to the floor
G                     Am
But now she's always wasted
           Em              C
A total looker, but she's jaded
G                    Am           Em C
The kind of shivering wreck that I adore
        G              Am
I can't offer you a rescue
         Em                 C
But I can tell you what I'd do

G                        Am
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly
Em                       C
And tell my father that I need him back again
G                      Am
And if these words wont drop from your lips
Em              C
I will be your Freudian slip

G                Am
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
Em                  C
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
Em           Am
Only finding questions in answers
Em                 C
You and I are just walking disasters (x3)

G                      Am                            Em C
She only finds her love in a downtown store
G                                           Am
Consumption makes her stronger
                Em                   C
You're the sweetest anaconda
G                            Am             Em C
The kind of lack of respect that I adore
          G                 Am
I cant offer you a rescue
                         Em                         C
But when you've lost all that you have left to lose

G                               Am
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly
Em                               C
And tell my father that I need him back again
G                                Am
And if these words wont drop from your lips
Em                  C
I will be your Freudian slip

G              Am                                 Em C
As sharp as a knife and as blunt as a wheel
G                              Am                  Em C
You be my calm I'll be your pneumatic drill
G                           Am                         Em C
And what we'll never want, we'll always need
Em                      Am            Em
Right now we need some pop psychology
C
To keep us up-beat

G                                      Am
So tell your mother that you love her dearly
Em                                        C
And tell your father your won't lock him out again
G                                Am
And if these words wont drop from your lips
Em                  C
I will be your Freudian slip

G                       Am
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
Em                        C
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
G               Am
Only finding questions in answers
Em                      C
You and I are just walking disasters (x5)



Song 9: Girls/Fast Cars
No Capo

Verse:
F                          G
We don't care for romance
Dm                         C
Romance or shooting stars
F                    G           Dm                    C
They were last found together in 18th century memoirs
F                          G
We don't care for lovers
Dm                               C
If loving's all that they've got
F                   G              Dm
There must be other hobbies if they want to keep the plot

Pre-Chorus:
C
I'm a man of simple tastes,
Bb
No whiskey and caviar
C
And what I feel is what I say
I'm not trying to be smart

Chorus:
F                   G       Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C                                       Bb                Dm
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart

Verse: (again, better with power chords)
(F not played)            G Dm                     Em
We don't care for new year, new year or fireworks
F                    G          Dm                   Em
If all they represent is how to go from bad to worse
F                            G
Let's not feel disheartened
Dm                                  C
There's no need to change the locks
F                      G                Dm
We'll stick to what we know and what we know is not a lot.

Pre-Chorus:
C
I'm a man of simple tastes
Bb
No chewing on fat cigars
C
And what I feel is what I say
I'm not trying to be smart

Chorus:
F                   G   Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C
It's cheap and it's pathetic,
             Bb           Dm
But you cant hate me just because
F                   G   Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C                                       Bb                Dm
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart

Pre-Chorus:
C
I'm a man of simple tastes,
Bb
No whiskey or caviar
C
And what I feel is what I say
But don't overthink this next part;

Chorus:
F                   G   Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C
It's cheap and it's pathetic,
             Bb           Dm
But you cant hate me just because
F                   G   Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C                                       Bb                Dm
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart.

My teeth have never looked quite this yellow and my body never quite this fat
G             Am       Em                     C                 A
I'll pay well over the odds just to have some teenage abandoned back
G         Am         Em               C                      A
I hit the ice of the 5th of Jan and I swear it was an act of fate

And now I pay for it over a counter whilst they become fitness freaks
G      Am         Em          C                     A
My bad habits are taking over all the good left inside

Song 11: Valentine
No Capo



F#m                     E                     D
Remember when I found a broken branch
       A                               E         Fm
And shoved it through your bicycle spokes
F#m                               E         D
And how remorse quickly took its stand
       A                                               E
When you hit the deck and broke your nose

D                           C#m  B
You were always the emo type
D                                     C#m                  B
Strained hair matched to a bitter tone
D                                                    C#m  B
Well I don’t care much for fashion or socialites
D                                                   E               C#m
The nihilists always get my vote

D
All she ever wanted was a little direction
A                                     B
All she ever needed was a friend
D
All she ever made were the worst impressions
A                            B
All she ever did was offend
D
You’re the only one to fail my sex drive
D
Will you or won’t you, Valentine?

A   /  E  /  D  /

F#m                     E                     D
Remember when you laid me on my back
       A                               E         Fm
And performed to me my favourite song
F#m                     E                     D
And how I shivered upon its climax
       A                               E         Fm
And those lips still plague my thoughts ten years on
