[Intro]
I hope I scare people on public transport,
no shoes, my eyes rolling back into my head,
I fell down the steps of the tram at the stop
where I used to get off to fall into bed with you.
[Verse]
G C
But now it's just a long, long, lonely walk home.
Em C
Edgy, wild eyes trying hard to stay strong,
G C
Traversing the streets where the dogs and your old neighbours bark at me
Em C
from behind fences that I swear are too small,
G C
I miss the taste of the city asphalt
Em C
and I miss the smell of your freshly washed hair,
G C
And I miss the times we slept under bridges,
Em C
bummed cigarettes from strangers and no one else mattered
G C
Today my mother flies out to Shanghai
Em C
and today my father surely will catch me,
G C Em C
And today my sister will go to school and forget me, I wish I could tell her just how much I cared,
[Chorus]
G C
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave,
Em C
the only thing that I remember now is your first name,
G
And those heavy blankets
C
and that shitty, little plastic fan
Em C
and the way you had no idea who I am
[Verse 2]
G C
Everything is a fucking eye strain
Em C
and I can't see my legs through the piss and the rain,
G C
And I hope to God that I can still spit, because
Em C
fingers crossed our paths will cross again someday,
G C
And the train wires circle the planned out city centre
Em C
like vultures coming in for the kill,
[Bridge]
G
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money
Em
We're gonna take your money
C
and do nothing with it
[Chorus]
G C
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave,
Em C
the only thing that I remember now is your first name,
G
And those heavy blankets
C
and that shitty, little plastic fan
Em C
and the way you had no idea who I am
[Outro]
G
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money
Em
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money
G
We're gonna take your money
C
We're gonna take your money

We're gonna take your money
