Fairytales And Firesides

D


[Verse I]

       D              G                    D
We are bitter losers, snarling through our smiles
          Bm                G           A
We're the lost boys, in the supermarket isles
      G                             A
We're Christmas dogs, dumped by the side of the road
D                 F#m     Bm
Confused, we will run for miles
       G
We are road rage
       A
We are stone age
       D
We are wild


[Verse II]

       D                        G               D
We are busted light bulbs, in a backstreet neon sign
          Bm                G               A
We're the shaking gun, in a service station line
      G
We'll drink though we're drunk,
      A
We'll sink though we've sunk
      D             F#m            Bm
We're f****d but we say that we're fine
G
We are rampage,
A                          D
Missing back pages in our spine


[Chorus]

   G                          D   A
We long, for journeys and the roadside
   G                           D   A
We long, for starlight and the low tide
         G                         D    A
Yeah, we long, for fairy tales and fire sides
    D
And oh,


[Break]

[Verse III]

       D
We are coffee house cynics,
    G                       D
Too righteous, too rigid to believe
    Bm
Disappointed romantics,
G                            A
Scraping the hearts from our sleeves
          G
We're the toothless drunk,
          A
We're the ageing punk
             D
Yeah, we are Adam,
          F#m             Bm
We're the apple and we're Eve
G                         A               D
We are beggars with shiny pennies, on our knees


[Chorus]

   G                         D   A
We long, for sunlight on the hillsides
         G                        D   A
Yeah, we long, for yesterdays and hindsight
       G                         D    A
Oh, we long, for fairy tales and fire sides

And oh

[Chorus]

        G                      D          A
Yeah we long for carnivals and fairground rides
       G                         D   A
Oh, we long for journeys and the roadsides
       G                        D   A
Oh, we long for fairy tales and fire sides
