We Are The Dead Chords

[Intro]
Gm  Bb/F  F
Gm  Bb/F  F
 
 
[Verse 1]
Gm                Bb/F   F
Something kind of hit me today, I looked at you and
Dm                 D          Eb   Bb/D
Wondered if you saw things my way
F           D7/F#      Gm
People will hold us to blame
   Bb/F      Eb     C7/E   F
It hit me today, it hit me today
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Gm        Bb/F          F
We're taking it hard all the time
                     Dm       D            Eb               Bb/D
Why don't we pass it by, just reply you've changed your mind
      F                 D7/F#       Gm
We're fighting with the eyes of the blind
Bb/F      Eb    C7/E      F         F/Eb  Dm7  Bb
Taking it hard, taking it hard, yet now
 
 
[Chorus]
   Ab               Gb6     F                   Cm
We feel that we are paper, choking on you nightly
     Eb/Bb            Ab            Gb6                F
They tell me son, we want you, be elusive, but don't walk far
          Cm              Eb/Bb     Ab                   Gb6
For we're breaking in the new boys, deceive your next of kin
           F                 Cm           Eb/Bb       Ab
For you're dancing where the dogs decay, defecating ecstasy
               Gb6         F
You're just an ally of the leecher
 
 Cm             Eb/Bb               Ab               Gb6
Locator for the virgin King, but I love you in your fuck me pumps
         F                 Cm
And your nimble dress that trails
    Eb/Bb               Ab                Gb6              F
Oh, dress yourself, my urchin one, for I hear them on the rails
           Cm            Bb           Ab
Because of all we've seen, because of all we've said
Gb6         D  C/E  D  C/E
We are the dead
 
 
[Verse 3]
Gm                Bb/F          F
One thing kind of touched me today
                    Dm             D            Eb  Bb/D
I looked at you and counted all the times we had laid
F            D7/F#             Gm
Pressing our love through the night
Bb/F         Eb     C7/E            F
Knowing it's right, knowing it's right
 
 
[Verse 4]
Gm             Bb/F            F
Now I'm hoping some one will care
              Dm          D          Eb     Bb/D
Living on the breath of a hope to be shared
F               D7/F#        Gm
Trusting on the sons of our love
     Bb/F         Eb    C7/E         F         F/Eb  Dm7  Bb
That someone will care, someone will care, but now
 
 
[Chorus]
        Ab              Gb6         F                          Cm
We're today's scrambled creatures, locked in tomorrow's double feature
Eb/Bb             Ab          Gb6               F
Heaven's on the pillow, its silence competes with hell
       Cm               Bb             Ab               Gb6
It's a twenty four hour service, guaranteed to make you tell
        F                   Cm
And the streets are full of press men
        Bb               Ab
Bent on getting hung and buried
        Gb6        F            Cm                Bb
And the legendary curtains are drawn round Baby Bankrupt
 
    Ab                     Gb6
Who sucks you while you're sleeping
         F            Cm
It's the theater of financiers
            Bb            Ab
Count them, fifty round a table
Gb6                   F
White and dressed to kill
     Cm                 Bb
Oh caress yourself, my juicy
       Ab                 Gb6
For my hands have all but withered
   F                 Cm                 Bb               Ab
Oh dress yourself my urchin one, for I hear them on the stairs
 
           Gb6            F
Because of all we've seen
Cm         Bb
Because of all we've said
D          C/E   D
We are the dead
C/E          D   C/E  D
We are the dead
C/E          D   C/E  D  C/E
We are the dead
