chorus 1



F

lust of the libertines

                Bb

is really quite tame

                         F

It rages quite nice here beside you

                  Bb

and your lust for fame

                           F

well fames such a sinister game, i know

                          Bb

it could all end this way then

                        F

some things wont be the same

                                 Bb

i'm just a face, and a name on a page

                     F

well i'll be soundly sleeping, i'll be soundly sleeping

                               Bb

i'll sleep right through that age



verse

                             F

well i can deal with all the blood on my shoes



and the holes in my soul

                                       Bb

my spirit is tainted all my tears are fainted

                F

just as long as you 

          C

you dont forget to 

        F

uh-oh-oh

               Bb

cut me on the wall

       F                                C

by the graffiti of all the the things i just couldn't say

F                Dm

shove me up the wall

Bb                            F  

oh my darling was the kind of loving now

C                            F

you've left me in the family way again



verse 2 (as verse 1)



the dust on my tambourine

really can be explained

i need to shake it more often

shake away the blame

well fames such a sinister game

oh i know

the taste of goulash in your mouth as you stumble off stage

forget-me-nots bloom on this day then

but they wither with age



chorus

outro (same as verse)

end
