Song 1: Our Perfect Disease
No Capo
[Verse 1]
F#m
We don't admit it but we've never seen eye to eye,
A Bm
my heartbeat's moaning and yours is making money
F#m
It's always a shock when old friends pass by,
A Bm
but with you it's no death in the family
F#m
Let's not talk about hate when there's hell to pay
A Bm
for my cowardness and your bad timing
F#m
We don't admit it but we've never seen eye to eye,
A Bm
and it's not through a lack of trying
[Interlude]
F#m A Bm
F#m A Bm E
[Chorus]
D
It was the perfect disease we had,
A C#
something to argue and scream about
D
And you will see about contracting back,
A C#
and locking it somewhere it can't get ripped out
D
It was the perfect disease we had,
A C# D
and it hits us like a painful fact
Dm F#m
We all need someone to drive us mad
[Post chorus]
F#m A Bm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh
F#m A Bm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh
[Verse 2]
F#m
I didn't say it but you never were the honest type,
A Bm
you tried to fabricate a bed-time story
F#m
And now I miss those games we had of Jekyll and Hyde,
A Bm
ever since the day that we parted company
F#m
Don't send a helping hand I need a farrowing ram,
A Bm
to feed the reasons that I miss you so sorely
F#m
I didn't say it but we never saw eye to eye,
A Bm
now I can't bear it when equally is boring
[Interlude]
F#m A Bm
F#m A C#
[Chorus]
D
It was the perfect disease we had,
A C#
something to argue and scream about
D
And you will see about contracting back,
A C#
and locking it somewhere it can't get ripped out
D
It was the perfect disease we had,
A C# D
and it hits us like a painful fact
Dm C# F#m
We all need someone to drive us mad
[Post chorus]
F#m A Bm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh
F#m A Bm
Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh
[Bridge]
F#m A G
I need you in the TV, I need you on the train, I need you every single which way
F#m A G
I need you in the mirrors, I need you in my bed, I need you to wreck my head
F#m A G
I need you in the TV, I need you on the train, I need you just to stand in my way
F#m E
I need you in the mirrors, I need you in my bed
[Chorus]
D
It was the perfect disease we had,
A C#
something to argue and scream about
D
And you will see about contracting back,
A C#
and locking it somewhere it can't get ripped out
D
It was the perfect disease we had,
A E D
and it hits us like a painful fact
Dm C# F#m
We all need someone to drive us mad
Song 2: Tokyo (Vampires And Wolves)
No Capo
[Verse]
Am C Dm
We're self imploding
Dm Em F
Under the weight of your advice
F Am C Dm
I wear a suitcase
Dm Em F
Under each one of my eyes
Am C Dm
Finally
Dm Em F
I know now what it takes
F Am C Dm G
It takes money and aeroplanes
[Chorus]
Dm Am
If you love me let me go
Am F
Back to that bar in Tokyo
F G Am
Where the demons from my past
F
Leave me in peace
Dm Am
I'll be animating every night
Am F
The grass will be greener on the other side
F G Am
And the Vampires and Wolves
F
Won't sink their teeth
F Am C Dm
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
[Interlude]
Dm Em F
[Verse]
Am C Dm
Astrophysics
Dm Em F
you'll never be my closest friend
Am C Dm
I find no comfort
Dm Em F
in what my mind can't comprehend
Am C Dm
Finally
Dm Em F
I know now what it takes
F Am C Dm G
It takes money and aeroplanes
[Chorus]
Dm Am
If you love me let me go
Am F
Back to that bar in Tokyo
F G Am
Where the demons from my past
F
Leave me in peace
Dm Am
I'll be animating every night
Am F
The grass will be greener on the other side
F G Am
And the Vampires and Wolves
F
Won't sink their teeth
F Am
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
G Am F
No matter how much it needs me
G Am F
Go and follow someone else's lead
[Chorus]
Dm Am
If you love me let me go
Am F
Back to that bar in Tokyo
F G Am
Where the demons from my past
F
Leave me in peace
Dm Am
I'll be animating every night
Am F
The grass will be greener on the other side
F G Am
And the Vampires and Wolves
F
Won't sink their teeth
F Am
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
Song 3: Jump Into The Fog
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
A Bm D
What a great achievement it was to get a hotel room this late
A Bm D
I bet they charge by the hour here, the kind of place where you should bring your own UV ray
A Bm D
It's not a big problem with me, love, you don't look that hygienic anyway
A Bm D
I'm only here because I want to twist the structure of my average day
[Chorus]
A Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G Bm D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G Bm D
I just hope it's your bones that shatter not mine
A Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G Bm D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A Bm G Bm D
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
[Verse 2]
A Bm D
What a great achievement it was, to find someone who shirks such little self-restraint
A Bm D
I'm a non believer but I believe in these dirty little wicked games
A Bm D
Snakes and ladders abandoned here love, the climb's too rough to slide back down again
A Bm D
I'm only here because I feel the day deserves a truly sordid end
[Chorus]
A Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G Bm D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G Bm D
I just hope it's your brains that splatter not mine
A Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G Bm D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A Bm G Bm D
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
[Bridge]
Em G D F#m
I've made some bad decisions, I'll admit that freely
Em G D F#m (Fm)
It's just that life tastes sweeter when it's wrapped in debauchery
Em G
So drop your map, drop your plans, drop that five-step program
D F#m
Because there's not an ounce of faith in this leap
E G D
It's clear you feel nothing so jump into the fog with me
Jump in, jump in, jump in
Song 4: Anti-D
No Capo
[Intro]
C F Am F
[Chorus]
C F Am F C F Am
Please allow me to be your anti-depressant
F C F Am F C F Am F
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant
[Verse]
C Am
We kick back and let the pills do the talking
C Am
People hear a distinct rattle when we're walking
C D F
Then there's the extra two stone that's our only guarantee
C Am
Our vivid dreams are just like big production movies
C Am
They get entangled well within our daily routines
C D F
So please re-think or use my trademark strategy
[Chorus]
C F Am F C F Am
And please allow me to be your anti-depressant
F C F Am F C F Am F
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant
[Post-Chorus]
C F Am F
aaa aaa...
[Verse]
C G Am G
It's hard to smile when you're as flattened as a pancake
C G Am G
The only tears come from our heads when we concentrate
C D F
Perhaps I'm being unjust or perhaps you agree
Dm F
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
Am F
I needed more than what was in those 40 milligrams
Dm F
So cast away with the doctor's plans
[Chorus]
C F Am F C F Am
Please allow me to be your anti-depressant
F C F Am F C F Am F
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant
Interlude:
C F Am F
na na na na... aaa...
[Outro]
Dm F
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
Am F
Although I felt as grim as the reaper man
Dm F
So cast away with the doctor's plans
C F Am F C
Like me
Song 5: Last Night I Dreamt...
No Capo
[Intro]
C Am F Fm x2
[Verse]
C
I'm a good friend and an excellent lover
Am F
I can fool myself just like no other person can
Fm
I'm turning into a twisted man
C
I haven't got any time for selfless deeds
Am
What I do for you is indirectly for me
F Fm
I'm a stubborn boy, there's nothing here that you can break or destroy
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Then as I count sheep in my bed
G#
A train of worry bullets through my head
[Chorus]
C F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Am //A B C B on bass
Through all my talk of self-defeat
G# G
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
C F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Am //A B C B on bass
From now I'll curb the cynical speaking
G# G
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
[Interlude]
[Verse]
C
Someone once said I don't have any feelings
Am
Well I think that emotions can be misleading
F
And thinking back
Fm
I might have nailed the coffin shut with that
C
As I tend to cry in a room full of laughter
Am
Is the cheese finally sliding off of it's cracker?
F Fm
I don't know I'll just prepare myself to let it go
[Pre-Chorus]
F
As I count sheep in my bed
G#
A train of worry bullets through my head
[Chorus]
C F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Am //A B C B on bass
Through all my talk of self-defeat
G# G
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
C F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Am //A B C B on bass
From now I'll curb the cynical speaking
G# G F
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
G# G F
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
G# G F Fm
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
C F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
Am Am/B
And apart from when I lost my virginity
C G G# G
I've never been know to frighten easily
Song 6: Techno Fan
No Capo
D
East London's not a bomb site
G
It is a treasure chest
D
We use our penguin costumes
G
More than our evening dress
D
She said I should come over
G
Though the music's not my type
D
Don't you know I'd chop a limb off
Bm A G
Just to have a good time
D G
Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
Bm A G
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
D G
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
Bm A G
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
D
I never knew I was a techno fan
D G D
Wuuuuuuuuu Wuuuuuu WuUu X2
D
This is not a weird weekend
G
It's an angry wormhole
D
I'm talking like a city boy
G
And drinking with a northern soul
D
She said I should come over
G
Though it's carnage at times
D
It still seems I'd chop a limb off
Bm A G
Before I put up a fight
D G
Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
Bm A G
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
D G
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand

The lasers fill our minds with empty plans

I never knew I was a techno
Em
We are the 1980s
G
We are the Detroit lights
Bm A G
And I never wanna, I never wanna see this stop
Em
I'm in debt to you
Gm
But don't feed me plant food
D G
Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
Bm A G
I didn't spend 20 sheets and not cut a shape
D G
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
Bm A G
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
D
I never knew I was a techno fan

Wuuuuuuuuu Wuuuuuu WuUu X2

Song 7: 1996
Capo 4
[Verse 1]
C G
I had no cares in the 1990s
Em D
I knew of no downfalls
C G
Though war was breaking out all around me
Em D
My concerns were with prank calls
C
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
G Em D
Right in front of the older kids
C G
When our self belief, our self belief
Em A
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
A
Cos now it feels like...
[Chorus]
C G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Em G
And the more I give the less I get
C G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Em D
There's little here to miss...
C
Bring back 1996
G Em
Bring back 1996
D C
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
G Em D
Bring back 1996
[Verse 2]
C G
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
Em D
We were building telescopes
C G
And sugar filled the whole of my body
Em D
As I urged it on to grow
C
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
G Em D
Just to impress the older kids
C G
When my self belief, my self belief
Em A
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
A
Cos now it feels like...
[Chorus]
C G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Em G
And the more I give the less I get
C G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Em D
There's little here to miss...
C
Bring back 1996
G Em A
Bring back 1996
[Bridge]
C G
Stop talking, stop talking
Em D
I need a lover not a friend tonight
C G
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Em A
I'm not cut out for the modern life

Song 8: Walking Disasters
Capo 1
G Am Em C
She used to get her kicks from a fall to the floor
G Am
But now she's always wasted
Em C
A total looker, but she's jaded
G Am Em C
The kind of shivering wreck that I adore
G Am
I can't offer you a rescue
Em C
But I can tell you what I'd do
G Am
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly
Em C
And tell my father that I need him back again
G Am
And if these words wont drop from your lips
Em C
I will be your Freudian slip
G Am
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
Em C
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
Em Am
Only finding questions in answers
Em C
You and I are just walking disasters (x3)
G Am Em C
She only finds her love in a downtown store
G Am
Consumption makes her stronger
Em C
You're the sweetest anaconda
G Am Em C
The kind of lack of respect that I adore
G Am
I cant offer you a rescue
Em C
But when you've lost all that you have left to lose
G Am
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly
Em C
And tell my father that I need him back again
G Am
And if these words wont drop from your lips
Em C
I will be your Freudian slip
G Am Em C
As sharp as a knife and as blunt as a wheel
G Am Em C
You be my calm I'll be your pneumatic drill
G Am Em C
And what we'll never want, we'll always need
Em Am Em
Right now we need some pop psychology
C
To keep us up-beat
G Am
So tell your mother that you love her dearly
Em C
And tell your father your won't lock him out again
G Am
And if these words wont drop from your lips
Em C
I will be your Freudian slip
G Am
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
Em C
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
G Am
Only finding questions in answers
Em C
You and I are just walking disasters (x5)
Song 9: Girls/Fast Cars
No Capo
[Verse]
F G
We don't care for romance
Dm C
Romance or shooting stars
F G Dm C
They were last found together in 18th century memoirs
F G
We don't care for lovers
Dm C
If loving's all that they've got
F G Dm
There must be other hobbies if they want to keep the plot
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I'm a man of simple tastes,
Bb
No whiskey and caviar
C
And what I feel is what I say
I'm not trying to be smart
[Chorus]
F G Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C Bb Dm
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart
[Verse] (again, better with power chords)
(F not played) G Dm Em
We don't care for new year, new year or fireworks
F G Dm Em
If all they represent is how to go from bad to worse
F G
Let's not feel disheartened
Dm C
There's no need to change the locks
F G Dm
We'll stick to what we know and what we know is not a lot.
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I'm a man of simple tastes
Bb
No chewing on fat cigars
C
And what I feel is what I say
I'm not trying to be smart
[Chorus]
F G Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C
It's cheap and it's pathetic,
Bb Dm
But you cant hate me just because
F G Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C Bb Dm
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart
[Pre-Chorus]
C
I'm a man of simple tastes,
Bb
No whiskey or caviar
C
And what I feel is what I say
But don't overthink this next part;
[Chorus]
F G Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C
It's cheap and it's pathetic,
Bb Dm
But you cant hate me just because
F G Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C Bb Dm
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart.
Song 10: Schumacher The Champagne
No Capo
[Intro]
C
G Am Em Em x2
[Verse 1]
G Am Em C A
My teeth have never looked quite this yellow and my body never quite this fat
G Am Em C A
I'll pay well over the odds just to have some teenage abandoned back
G Am Em C A
I hit the ice of the 5th of Jan and I swear it was an act of fate
C Am
But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down
C D
I just take my thoughts into the center of town
[Chorus]
G E
And Schumacher the Champagne
Am C
Whoever needed good cause to celebrate
G F#m E Am C
Schumacher the Champagne, might as well be proud of last place
[Interlude]
G Am Em Em 2x
[Verse 2]
G Am Em C A
We used to set ourselves on fire when chemistry was twice a week
G Am Em C A
And now I pay for it over a counter whilst they become fitness freaks
G Am Em C A
My bad habits are taking over all the good left inside
C Am
But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down
C D
I just take my thoughts into the center of town
[Chorus]
G E
And Schumacher the Champagne
Am C
Whoever needed good cause to celebrate
G F#m E Am C
Schumacher the Champagne, might as well be proud of last place
G F#m E Am Cm
And Schumacher the Champagne never needed good cause to celebrate
Am C
Oh take me as I am
Am C
Oh take me as I am
Am C
Oh take me as I am or not at all
G Am Em Em
G Am Em Em
G Am Em Em
G Am Em C G Am Em
Or not at all
C G Am Em
Or not at all
C G Am Em
Or not at all
C G Am Em
Or not at all
C G Am Em
Or not at all
Song 11: Valentine
No Capo
F#m E D
Remember when I found a broken branch
A E Fm
And shoved it through your bicycle spokes
F#m E D
And how remorse quickly took its stand
A E
When you hit the deck and broke your nose
D C#m B
You were always the emo type
D C#m B
Strained hair matched to a bitter tone
D C#m B
Well I don’t care much for fashion or socialites
D E C#m
The nihilists always get my vote
D
All she ever wanted was a little direction
A B
All she ever needed was a friend
D
All she ever made were the worst impressions
A B
All she ever did was offend
D
You’re the only one to fail my sex drive
D
Will you or won’t you, Valentine?
A / E / D /
F#m E D
Remember when you laid me on my back
A E Fm
And performed to me my favourite song
F#m E D
And how I shivered upon its climax
A E Fm
And those lips still plague my thoughts ten years on
D C#m B
You were always the emo type
D C#m B
Strained hair matched to a bitter tone
D C#m B
Well I don’t care much for fashion or socialites
D E C#m
The nihilists always get my vote
D
All she ever wanted was a little direction
A B
All she ever needed was a friend
D
All she ever made were the worst impressions
A B
All she ever did was offend
D
You’re the only one to fail my sex drive
D
Will you or won’t you, Valentine?
D
All she ever wanted was a little direction
A B
Far away from this broken sea
D
And all I ever needed was some domination
A B
From a girl with low self esteem
D
I think we share the same blood type
D A
Will you or won’t you, Valentine?
Thank You!!!
