Intro: E C#m A E x2
Verse 1
E C#m
Now, this is not funny
A E
The shortest time feels like the longest time
E C#m
It's surely a dream
A E
or I'm just an unreliable witness to everything
E C#m
The burning cars of movie stars
A E
unwrap the city one backstreet at a time
E C#m
The severed heads of supermen,
A E
see how they're different when you hold them under the light
Chorus:
B A
Now she's got all, she's got all your answers
B A
so you better take us to your leader
F#m
'cause one thing is for sure -
B E
we're gonna get what we deserve
E C#m A E
Verse 2:
Now the street is a river
and the sounds drift up to our window up above
and we run down to drown under the current
to go rushing ever forward to find a cheap cure for memory
We drink our fill from wishing wells
we feed coins into machines until they're throwing them up
in crowded bars under neon stars
until there's new blood racing 'round the both of us
Chorus:
B A
Now she's got all, she's got all your answers
B A E
When she clicks, she clicks her heels together Oh Oh
B A
And when she snaps, when she snaps her fingers
B A
Oh, she says "You better take us to your leader
F#m
'cause my love, my word -
B E
we're finally gonna get what we deserve"
