INTRO:
Em  Bm  C  G  D

VERSE:
 Em              Bm
What we live and die for
C
It keeps us racing when
         G      D       Em
there's nobody out the doors
Em                    Bm
All the things we've stand for
 C                            G
They're only waiting but for now
                         C
someone's packed up the bus
                         G
Happy like kicking up a fuss
 Em                 Bm
Gotta try and keep walking
  C
'Til we can run and then
         G      D       Em
there's nobody stopping us
 Em                  Bm
Hold the latter and keep on talking
 C
The way we planned it there'll
    G          D     C
be nothing on top of us

CHORUS:
Then we'll be shouting from
     G
the rooftops and alley ways
                    C  C
Screaming baby I'm home
       G
After all the bitter pills of
                        D
Bangor and hit for the low
                 C
Time to say goodbye to the fades
and the Netflix stains
        Em
That's slowing down our phones
         C                 Am
No more time spent paying rent
            G   G
To days unknown
         Am                C
No more time spent paying rent
            G  G
To days unknown

 Been up and down with your 'round
 and 'round
 C                   G    D
Tory led by all the Tory hounds
Em
 And now they can't much buy
