Lovejoy - The Fall

[Intro]
G#m E C#7add13 C#9 C#7add13

[Verse 1]
G#m
Under the weight of a broken nose
E C#7add13
It’s not that simple, but he won’t seem to notice
C#9
There must be more to this
G#m
So leave those sink estates and let’s book a holiday
E
We’re painting all the counties in blue
C#7add13
‘Cause we’re already boring, and we’re already hoarding
C#9 C#7add13
What else have we got left to accrue?

[Pre-Chorus]
G#m
And the ramblers will say
E
“It’s got a marvelous view”
C#7add13
But we don’t know how many lives it took, no
C#9 C#7add13
Thеy’ll never know what you knew

[Chorus]
G#m
And wе’re so calm, but we’re (Fucking scared, fucking scared)
G#m
And wе’re so calm, but we’re (Fucking scared, fucking scared)
G#m
And wе’re so calm, but we’re (Fucking scared, fucking scared)
G#m
And we’re so calm, but we’re fucking scared of people like you

[Verse 2]
G#m
Under the weight of some Sertraline
E
A couple Prozacs and now I’m pumping dopamine
C#7add13 C#9
There must be more to this
C#7add13 G#m
We’ve got a country house now, old dog has been put down now
E
It’s nice to be your entry
C#7add13
Custom licence plate on our Audi R8
C#9 C#7add13
How many grocers does one county need?

[Bridge]
G#m
And the ramblers will say
E
“It’s still a marvellous view”
C#7add13
But that treadmill still looms
C#9
With your hedonic misuse

[Interlude]
G#m E C# C#m

[Verse 3]
G#m
So come on, one and all and see the apathy
E
The reams of grey stencils that fill the tapestry
C#
I look to all of you and see a different fucking species
C#m
Aspiration for a different destination to me
G#m
Across the Pennines there’s a thin blue line, a knife and a mall
E
I would do something if it wasn’t all so effort-full
C#
‘Cause I’m so high my brain can’t even look at the fall
C#m
And when you’ve reached the top, there’s nowhere else to go but…

[Outro]
C#m C# C#m G#m
