Am Bm Em Em
Am Bm G G
C Bm Em Em

[Verse 1]
            Am
Well, I'm a fan of days in bars
   Bm        Em
and nights in school
        Am         Bm
And of geniuses in jail,
          Em
and nobel fools
          Am            Bm
And I'm a fan of yellow noise,
           Em
and silent shouts
       Am              Bm
And of nurses that are boys,
          G
and women scouts

[Chorus]
                          C
Why don't they make it police
           D           Em
bells and church sirens
   C              D             G
Police ding dong, church wee ooh
              C
Talking 'bout police bells
    B            Em
and church sirens
   C              D             G
Police ding dong, church wee ooh

           Am              Bm
Well I'm a fan of bands on ground,
            Em
and dirt on stage
       Am          Bm
And of tigers on a leash,
              Em
and dogs in a cage
          Am             Bm
And I'm a fan of holding hands
            Em
and letting go
       Am          Bm
And of being so in love,
               G
but not let it show

                          C
Why don't they make it police

Talking 'bout police
