Intro : F G# C# C x2
Verse :
Fm
Give me the city
G#
Give me the sea
C# C (Bb G# G)
Give to me everything I need
Fm
The future is shining
G#
Like a giant metal beast
C#
It shines so bright tonight
C
With its legs open wide
Chorus :
(Bb G# G) Fm
And love is blind
G#
Falls in love with itself again
C#
Like it never should
C
The way it always can
(Bb G# G) Fm
And she is mine
G#
But the world is much bigger now
Oh tell me:
C#
Should I hold her hand, and give her love
C (Bb G# G)Fm
Or take her home and throw it far away?
Oh and now is the time
To jump into it all
I'll just hold my note
And try not to fall
To seek and to find
'Stead of walking around
With eyes glued to the sky
I turn them down to the ground
Oh and I used to think
That maybe one day I'd find the love of my life
Oh but it's so far away
Oh I don't know why
Oh but I
I want it all tonight
And love is blind
Falls in love with itself again
Like it never should
The way it always can
And she is mine
But the world is much bigger now
Oh tell me:
Should I hold her hand, and give her love
Or take her home and throw it far away?
We held hands and we looked out of the bedroom window.
We could see all the buildings collapsing around us,
so we kissed, and we laid on the bed,
and we waited for the ceiling to fall in.
But it never did. In the morning it was all still there:
the spilled milk and the dog turds,
in that grey ashtray morning light.
I could hear thousands of people,
and they were all singing this song:
La na na na na
Hey butcher!
Hey, butcher, what's your name?
Oh hey butcher, what's your game?
Oh you take all their love
And you suck out their eyes
And then you rip out their hearts
And you eat their insides
Yeah, then you just walk away
With a smile on your face
Hey butcher, hey butcher:
I've seen your face before
Oh, la
Na na na na na na na
La na na na na na na na na...
And love
is
blind.
