C Em C Em
[Verse 1]
C Em
Tobacco stains our yellow teeth
C
And all our fingers and underneath
Em
Our fingernails that clasp on sheets
C
As we try desperately to sleep
Em
Hearts are sad and eyes are tired
C
And all this Red Bull keeps us wired
Em
It gives us wings, it gives us rings around our eyes
[Bridge 1]
F C
We put three sugars in our tea
G
Sit to watch daytime T.V
Am G F
And laugh at mums who don’t know who the father is
C
And all our girlfriends are long gone
G
We watch too much internet porn
Who needs love when you’ve got silicone and strap-ons?
[Instrumental]
C Em C Em
C Em C Em
C
[Verse 2]
C Em
And beer bloats our spoilt guts
C
And shit jobs keep us in ruts
Em
And keep us eyeing up the what’s
C
And if’s and buts and maybe’s and
Em
Falling over in the street
C
Is just a part of every week
Em
And we lie drunkenly just staring at the stars
[Bridge 2]
F C
Remember when they were in reach
G
And all the teachers used to teach
Am G F
You can do anything if you put your mind to it
C
Well we put our minds to it all
G
But disappointment crashed the ball
We could’ve done anything, we just never quite knew it, so...
[Chorus 1]
F C G
Tie your scarf on tight
Am F
It's to be a cold night
C G
Tie your scarf on tight
Am F
It's to be a cold night
C G
Tie your scarf on ti-gh-t
Am F
It's to be a cold night
C G
Tie your scarf on tight
(Am)
It's to be a cold night
[Instrumental]
C Em C Em
C Em C Em
F C G Am
F C G G
Oh, oh...
[Chorus 2]
F C G
So tie your scarf on tight
Am F
It's to be a cold night
C G
Tie your scarf on ti-gh-t
Am F
It's to be a cold ni-gh-t
C G
Tie your scarf on ti-gh-t
Am F
It's to be a cold ni-ght
C G
Tie your scarf on tight
C
It's to be a cold night
