[Intro]
G (Acoustic version use walk down fill D-C-B-G)
[Verse 1]
G
Let's inherit the earth
Cadd9
Cos no-one else is taking it
G
Come on do your worst
D Dsus4
Before the moment's passed
In bedrooms across England
And all the western world
There's posters and there's magazines
D7
But music isn't ours
[Chorus]
C
Cos we write love songs in C
G D
And we do politics in G
C Em D
We sing songs about our friends in e minor
C G D
So tear down the stars now and take up your guitars
C D G D G
And come on folks and try this at home
[Verse 2]
Let's stop waiting around
For someone to patronise us
Let's hammer out a sound that speaks of where we've been
Forget about the haircuts and stupid skinny jeans
The stampedes and the irony
And the media-fed scenes
[Chorus]
C
Cause we write love songs in C
G D
And we do politics in G
C Em D
We sing songs about our friends in e minor
C G D
So tear down the stars now and take up your guitars
C D
And come on folks and try this at home
[MIDDLE]
Em D C G
Because the only thing that punk rock should ever really mean
Am G C D
Is not sitting round and waiting for the lights to go green
Em D C G
And not thinking that you're better cause you're stood up on a stage
Am G C D
And if you're oh so fucking different then who cares what you have to say
Am
Cause theres no such thing as rock stars
D
They're just people who play music
C C/B
And some of them are just like us
G
And some of them are dicks
Am
So quick turn off your stereo
D
Pick up that pen and paper
C
Yeah you could do much better than
D D7
Some skinny half-arsed English country singer
[Chorus]
C
Cause we write love songs in C
G D
And we do politics in G
C Em D
We sing songs about our friends in e minor
C G D
So tear down the stars now and take up your guitars
C D C C/b G
And come on folks and try this at ho-o-me
