[Verse 1]
  A
Stung by the stillness of it all
  G
Waitin' in vain for the
almighty crash
    F              D
As little England rips
              A
itself to pieces

[Verse 2]
 A
Buried my grandma along
          C  D
with her world
          G
In this twisted mutation
            E  D
is where I reside
 F                D                A
Wallowing in the light of the monitor

[Interlude]
F   D   A
   Woah
F   D   A
   Woah

[Verse 3]
A
We are the scum who
overstayed their welcome
  G
Scribed on the walls in the back
lane by my flat
 F                       D      A   G
Teenage premonitions of Armageddon

[Chorus]
 F
Don't you let it get you
 D
Don't fall in the mire
 A
Hold your head up higher
 G
Don't you let it in sigh
         F
Mark my words
 D             A
This is the leveller

   Woah

[Verse 4]
  A
Scurry around my town,
            C D
silent for miles
         G
With a cancer in my blood and
                 E  D
a ringing in my ear...
         F             D
And the fear is the closest
                      A
thing to fun that I have

[Interlude]
 F   D   A
Woah
F   D   A

[Chorus]
 F
Don't you let it get you
 D
Don't fall in the mire
 A
Hold your head up, hold your head up
 F
Don't you let it, don't you let it
 D
Don't fall in, don't fall in
 A
Don't fall in, don't fall in

[Post-Chorus]
F   D   A
F   D    A
...Woah, oh
  F   D  A
Woah
