A
There's death in the breadline
 
There's deaths on the vine
 
I wanted you quite often
 
In that I wanted you all of the time
 
I've been up all night
 
I've been up all day
 
A
I was into the illusion
 
I was into the never-ending scene
 
And the sound of confusion
 
In the riverside
(A Ab, E)
I've been up all night
(A Ab, E)
I've been up all day
 
Singing a mistresses' tanqueray
 
A D
I had a sound in my head
A
But I couldn't find the words
F#m
To get it out
G#m A
Now I know love is the way
E
Get it out
 
A D
I had a sound in my head
A
But I couldn't find the words
F#m
To get it out
G#m A
Now I know love is the way
E A
Get it out, get it out
 
A
I see death in the breadline
 
I see deaths on the vine
 
I want you quite often
 
I want you all of the time
A D
I had a sound in my head
F#m A
And I couldn't get it out, get it out
 
A
I've been up all night
D
I've been up all day
A
I was born with a sound
A
I was born with a sound
A
I was born with a sound
A
I was born with a sound
A
I was born with a sound
 
Repeat until faded, then: G#m A
