[Verse 1]
 
Gm                    Em7b5
Cash girls suffer me, I've got no enemies
    EbM7        Cm7
I'm walking down
     EbM7         Cm7
It's nothing to me
     F7
It's nothing to see
Gm                 Em7b5              EbM7          Cm7
If I never see the English evergreens I'm running to
     EbM7         Cm7
It's nothing to me
     F7
It's nothing to see
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
    Em
I’m dying to
Em7
Push their backs against the grain
                            F#/E
And fool them all again and again
I’m trying to
We bitches tear our magazines
                                    Em7
Those Oligarchs with foaming mouths phone
Now and then
Don’t believe for just one second that I’m forgetting you
    A/E
I’m trying to
    F#/E
I’m dying to
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Gm
Dollar days, survival sex
Em7b5
Honour stretching tails to necks
EbM7             Cm7
 I’m falling down
     EbM7         Cm7
It’s nothing to me
     F7
It’s nothing to see
Gm                    Em7b5                  EbM7      Cm7
If I'll never see the English evergreens I’m running to
     EbM7         Cm7
It’s nothing to me
     F7
It’s nothing to see

[Chorus 2]
 
    Em
I’m dying to
Push their backs against the grain
                             F#/E
And fool them all again and again
I’m trying to
It’s all gone wrong but on and on
The bitter nerve ends never end
Em7
I’m falling down
Don’t believe for just one second I’m forgetting you
    A/E
I’m trying to
    F#/E
I’m dying to

Impeccable! I've found that the verse parts get a lot easier if its done with a capo on the third, but then the choruses get kinda messed up. If you're good at bar chords though its the way to go. It also just helps to kinda see clearer what the chords are that you're trying to voice
