[Intro]
Em C G B7

[Verse]
Em                 C               G               B7
Ten tonnes dropping down my front door
Em               C               G           B7
Nine guns loaded at the back
Em               C               G               B7
I’m homesick, cabin fever, deadlock
Em               C               G               B7
Lying flat, reflects day and night
Em               C               G               B7
And eight lords leaping over fire
Em               C               G               B7
While crowds all around bay for blunt
Em               C               G                             B7
I’ve been staying here for what feels like hours
Em               C               G               B7
Not sure if i’m in hell or if I’m in love

[Chorus]
Em               C               G               B7
Oh Axe Weilding Marylin won’t let go
Em               C               G               B7
If your lonely then go rent our flat
Em               C               G               B7
Our walls brick walls start shaking
Em               B7               Em
Rubble turns to dust turns to ash
