Biography:
The Delgados were a Scottish indie rock band who formed in Hamilton, South Lanarkshire in 1994 after friends Alun Woodward (vocals/guitar), Stewart Henderson (bass) and Paul Savage (drums) were forcibly ejected from the band Bubblegum. Joined by Paul's then-girlfriend Emma Pollock (vocals/guitar), the band chose to name themselves after Tour de France winning cyclist Pedro Delgado. They split in April 2005, with Emma signing a solo deal with 4AD shortly afterwards.

F#m C#m F#m C#m
This is the life of a woman with demons
F#m C#m F#m C#m
The first time we met I was sure she was steaming
Dm Dm F#m C#m F#m C#m
This is my life, this is my life - What a life
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Life isn’t precious and life isn’t sacred
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Sometimes release only comes when you meet death
Dm Dm F#m C#m F#m C#m
A night of reprieve we were wrecked when we slept in the park
Dm Dm
When we woke in the morning you cried
Am Em F G (x2)
could I squeeze out the dark
(CHORUS)
Am Em F G
Destroy the noises that make all the voices and
Am Em F G
Get them out of my head
Am Em F G
Bring on the screaming and I’ll take your demons now
Am Em F E(G instead of E on final CHORUS)
that I’m already dead
(2nd VERSE – same as 1st)
Days of release when she almost felt better
Gradually faded and words couldn’t get her
Dm Dm F#m C#m F#m C#m
Where is the light, where is the light, get the light
Fearless and clear all her doubts had been cast off
Her last night alive is a nightmare I’m part of
Dm Dm F#m C#m F#m C#m
Dreams are a lie, if dreams are a lie - So am I
Dm Dm Am Em F G (x2)
If thats all there is then I might as well get in the fire
(TO CHORUS than to below)
Dm Am Em F
Oh how the rights of the righteous kept coming
Dm Am Em F
Shining before like the day
Dm Am Em F E
I stand before them and cried that you’re dying your way
F#m C#m F#m C#m F#m C#m …
I’m still not sure if the right and the wrong side is one
This is the life of a woman with demons
F#m C#m F#m C#m
The first time we met I was sure she was steaming
Dm Dm F#m C#m F#m C#m
This is my life, this is my life - What a life
F#m C#m F#m C#m
Life isn’t precious and life isn’t sacred
