[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
Under the weight of a broken nose
It's not that simple, but he won't seem to notice
There must be more to this
So leave those sink estates and
Let's book a holiday
We're painting all the counties in blue
'Cause we're already boring
And we're already hoarding
What else have we got left to accrue?
And the ramblers will say
"It's got a marvelous view"
But they don't know how many lives it took, no
They'll never know what you knew
And we're so calm but we're (fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm but we're (fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm but we're (fucking scared, fucking scared)
And we're so calm but we're fucking scared of people like you
Under the weight of some Sertraline
A couple Prozacs, and now I'm pumping dopamine
There must be more to this
We've got a country house now
Old dog has been put down now
It's nice to be around trees
Custom license plate
On our Audi R8
How many grocers does one county need?
And the ramblers will say
"It's still a marvelous view"
That treadmill still looms
Your hedonic misuse
So come on, one and all to see the apathy
The reams of gray stencils that fill the tapestry
I look to all of you and see a different fucking species
Aspiration for a different destination to me
Across the Pennines, there's a thin blue line, a knife and a mall
I would do something, if it wasn't all so effortful
'Cause I'm so high, my brain can't even look at the fall
And when you've reached the top there's nowhere else to go but-
