    just because you like to destroy

   Am                                       F

    all the things that bring the idiots joy,

            - G                                   E

    Am                                   F

2.       And the Kooks won't talk to you,

      Am                              F

    cause you kissed St. Rollox adieu,

      Am                                      F

    cause you robbed a supermarket or two,

              G                                             E

C                               F

    Did I see you in a limousine,

  C                                         F

flinging out the fish and the unleavened,

               C                                F

turn the rich into wine, let you walk on the mean,

               - G                         Am

while the        fallen are the virtuous among us,

  C                                         F

flinging out the fish and the unleavened, well,

        - G                                      Am

Five         thousand users fed today,

                    C                           G                   Am        - E

Oh, as you feed us, won't you lead us to be blessed

 

    Am                              F

3.       So we stole and drank champagne

                Am                                      F

    on the seventh seal you said you never feel pain.

        Am                                     F

    "I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"

          G                                            E

    "I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation"

 

    Am                                     F

4.        In my blood I felt the bubbles burst,

                        Am                    F

    there was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst.

                   Am                      F

    You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt,

       G                     E

    I fall to the floor, fainting at the sight of blood.

 

C                               F

    Did I see you in a limousine,

  C                                         F

flinging out the fish and the unleavened,

                      C                     F

You turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean,

              C                                F

be the model of virgin you've already been,

             C                    F

you've already been, already seen

              G                   Am

that the fallen are the virtuous among us,

             C                     G                       C

walk among us, never judge us to be blessed.

    La la la la, la la la, la la, la la la,          la la la, la la la, la la.

 

    Am                          F

5.       So I'm sorry if I ever resisted,

       Am                               F

    I never had a doubt you ever existed,

      Am                                        F

    I only have a problem when people insist on,

     G                                E                        Am

    taking their hate and placing it on your name.

 

                                         F

6.  So they say you're a troubled boy,

    Am                        F

    just because you like to destroy.

           Am                                F

    You are the word, the word is 'destroy',

          G                       E

    I break this bottle, think of you fondly.

 

C                               F

    Did I see you in a limousine,

  C                                         F

flinging out the fish and the unleavened,

              C                                    F

to the whore in a hostel, or the scum of a scheme,

              C                      F

turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean,

               C                              F

it's not a jag in the arm, it's a nail in the beam,

             C                            F

on this barren earth, you scatter your seed,

              C                                F

be the model of virgin, you've already been,

             C                    F

you've already been, already seen
