guitar chords lyrics

British Sea Power

Intro: A, E, D, E (x2)

Verse 1

A E
Took a pill last night, just to get to sleep
D E
Put me on my back, not on my feet
A E
Propylene across your eyes

D E
To take me to the land of sighs

Verse 2

A E
Had a drink last night, just to get to sleep
D E
Put me on my back, knocked me off my feet
A E
Filled my skin with ethanol
D E
To find some peace, to let it fall

Chorus

(E) A Bm E
Eight hours a day - call it twenty years
A
There's a place you can go
Bm E
Free of lust, cupidity and fear

A E
Oh it left my heart broken
D E
It took my breath away
A E
A little lesson open
D E
A little more each day
A E
A little eyesore
D E
A little Nytol
A E
A little heartache
D E
A little soothe-all

Verse 3

A E D E
Melatonin, a little dose, takes things to a peaceful close
A E
Commerce runs through your veins
D E
And takes you from this waking plane
A E
Industry on your side
D E
To do what you do, when you get tired

Repeat Chorus
