Intro: E Abm E Abm
E Abm
When the smaller picture's the same as the bigger picture, you know that you're fucked
E Abm
When you're trading paper cuts for splinters, you're out of luck
E Abm
Like sharks don't sleep and I don't take my eyes off you
E Abm
The architechure's shit and my cheeks are already and bruised
A Abm
And if you're trading paper cuts for splinters
C#m B E C#m
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow
E Abm
All these mercy killings have got my conscience spilling over
E Abm
And the building's ornate but it's lacking soul and character
E Abm
We're burning five-story buildings, laying mantraps at the fire exits
E Abm
We're playing feedback over tannoid systems, you look desperate, you look pathetic
A Abm
And if you're trading paper cuts for splinters
C#m B E
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow
A Abm
And if you're trading paper cuts for splinters
C#m B E C#m
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow
Solo: E Abm A E (repeated)
A Abm
And if you're trading paper cuts for splinters
C#m B E
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow
A Abm
And if you're trading paper cuts for splinters
C#m B E C#m
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow
E
One blink for yes, two blinks for no
Abm
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks we leave alone
A
One blink for yes, two blinks for no
E
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks we leave alone
(I know that during the chorus Aleks sings the part above, and Gareth sings this:
A
And it hits as hard as a blow to the head
Abm
Or a smash to the skull, or a knee to your chest
C#m B
It hits as hard as a blow to the head
E
Or a smash to the skull, or a knee to your chest
A
And it hits as hard as a blow to the head
Abm
Or a smash to the skull, or a knee to your chest
C#m B E C#m
Sweet dreams, sweet cheeks, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow, oh tomorrow)
