Take Us To Your Leader-Paul Dempsey Tabbed by Fallsy
E C#m A E x 2
E C#m
Now, this is not funny
A E
The shortest time feels like the longest time
C#m
It's surely a dream
A E
or I'm just an unreliable witness to everything
E C#m
The burning cars of movie stars
A E
unwrap the city one backstreet at a time
E C#m
The severed heads of supermen,
A E B
see how they're different when you hold them under the light
B A
Now she's got all, she's got all your answers
B A
so you better take us to your leader
F#m
'cause one thing is for sure -
B E
we're gonna get what we deserve
E C#m A E
E C#m
Now the street is a river
A E
and the sounds drift up to our window up above
E C#m
and we run down to drown under the current
A E
to go rushing ever forward to find a cheap cure for memory
E C#m
We drink our fill from wishing wells
A E
we feed coins into machines until they're throwing them up
E C#m
in crowded bars under neon stars
A E B
until there's new blood racing 'round the both of us
B A
Now she's got all, she's got all your answers
B A E
When she clicks, she clicks her heels together Oh Oh
B A
And when she snaps, when she snaps her fingers
B A
Oh, she says "You better take us to your leader
F#m
'cause my love, my word -
B E
we're finally gonna get what we deserve"
E C#m A E x 2
