D G
Well every day I throw a little party
C
But if it would be more fitting, fitting
D G
And every time I come a little higher
C
Should I leap or go on living, living?
(Interlude): C, D, C, D(Not barred) x2
D G
Hear the voices venomous and thrilling
C
In their hair, they're always calling, calling
D G
But I wanna, gotta go the way my heart beats
C
So I'm not falling for the folly, folly
(Interlude): C, D, C, D(Not barred) x2
D C
No one here is taking notice
D C
No outline will ever hold us
D C G
It's not a new wave, it's just you and me
D C
Eyes are the only witness
D C
Die to prove we ever lived this
D C G
Invent our own kind of obscurity
D G
Let's destroy a room with this love
C
We can drain out all the power, power
D G
Steal from the makers who had made us
C
Leave them nothing to devour, devour
D G C
Well I am raw material
D G C
Make me plastic, make me fuel
D G
I can be, I can be
C
I can be all
D C
No one here is taking notice
D C
No outline will ever hold us
D C G
It's not a new wave, it's just you and me
D C
Eyes are the only witness
D C
Die to prove we ever lived this
D C G
Invent our own kind of obscurity
D C
No one here is taking notice
D C
No outline will ever hold us
D C G
It's not a new wave, it's just you and me
D C
Eyes are the only witness
D C
Die to prove we ever lived this
D C G
Invent our own kind of obscurity
