Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste:
3rd traste
[Verse 1]
D A
Is it alright if I take off my shoes?
G
Is it okay if I turn off the news?
D A
Would it be fine for me to finish the wine?
G
Hold my breath, count to ten and stay for a while
D A
'Cause lately London's been screaming so loud
G
Concrete circus, off the swuckus, faces and crowds
D A
But in this moment, Victorian walls and this
G
Beat to death so far, there's more than enough
Bm A G
And so I need
 
[Chorus]
D
Dance or die, roll the dice
A
I'll be trancing my minds
G
What the hell, I was fine like half million times
D
Try to float, sink, swim
A G
I don't know how to think of you
D
Black and white, no between
A
Little boy, how you been?
G
You get high to believe that you straight and cling
Bm A G
But it's you and the gun, when the music's so gone, you know
D
'Cause this is day one
 
[Verse 2]
D A
It might take time for me to spring from the cage
G
A week or months still up in town everyday
D A
I apologized for drowning you in the flood
G
But I'm treading water, getting sober, fixing it up
Bm A G
This is how I healed
 
[Chorus]
D
Dance or die, roll the dice
A
I'll be trancing my minds
G
What the hell, I was fine like half million times
D
Try to float, sink, swim
A G
I don't know how to think of you
D
Black and white, no between
A
Little boy, how you been?
G
You get high to believe that you straight and cling
Bm A G
But it's you and the gun, when the music's so gone, you know
 
But this is day one
 
[Outro]
D A
All the passive-aggressive remarks
G
Looking in the mirror, know you falling apart
D A
You're a spinning compass, but this is the start
G
It's a light on the hill, is it drowning your heart
D A
It's a no more right facts, I don't want to drink
G
It's this fancy kept swimming, when the ship has to sink
Bm A
It's a self-reflection, but not like before
Bm A G
An hour, a week or a month
Bm A G
It might take an hour, a week or a month
D G A Bm
And this is day one
 
[Outro]
D G A
