E C#m F#m born to multiply or born to gaze into night skies , F#m G#m A G#m F#m all you want’s one more saturday . E C#m but look here , until then F#m they’re gonna buy your life’s time F#m - G#m A G#m F#m so keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters B E til the day , we come in doing cartwheels B E we all crawl out by ourselves , and your shape on the dance floor B will have me thinking such filth i’ll gouge my eyes . C#m A you’ll be damned to be one of us girl C#m A faced with the dodo’s conundrum E F#m A i felt like i could just fly G#m B A G#m F#m but nothing happened every time i tried . E C#m F#m duotone on the wall , the selfless fool who hoped he’d saved us all F#m G#m A G#m F#m never dreamt of such sterile hands E C#m F#m you keep them folded in your lap , or raise them up to beg for scraps F#m G#m A G#m F#m B you know he’s holding you down with the tips of his fingers , just the same E B will you be pulled from the ocean? but just a minute too late? E B or changed by a potion , and find a handsome young mate for you to love C#m A you’ll be damned to pining through the window panes , you know C#m A E - F#m A you’ll trade your life for any ordinary joe’s , well do it now or grow old G#m B A G#m F#m cos your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold solo verse chords x2 E , C#m , F#m , G#m , A , G#m , F#m E , C#m , F#m , G#m , A , G#m , F#m B E been alone since you were 21 , you haven’t laughed since january B E you try and make like this is so much fun , but we know it to be be quite contrary B la la la la la la C#m A C#m A dare to be one of us , girl , facing the android’s conundrum E - F#m A i felt like i should just cry G#m A but nothing happens every time i take one on the chin G#m A yeah himmler in your coat you don’t know how long i’ve been G#m A G#m A watching the lantern dim , starved of oxygen , oh F#m A B so give me your hand and lets jump out the window E until end . i’ve put in all the bits that were missing from previous versions , for instance , i put in the rundown of the chords at the end of the verses etc . it looks quite confusing , but if you listen to the song , you’ll get the timing and it’ll sound great! hope you enjoy! please rate! been playing guitar for less than a year and only made a few tabs before . hope this helps you achieve pure shins goodness!
