baby britain feels the best
floating over a sea of vodka
separated from the rest
fights problems with bigger problems
sees the ocean fall and rise
counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
water pouring from her eyes
alcoholic and very bitter
Chorus:
for someone half as smart
m/
you'd be a work of art
you put your-self a- part
and i can't help until you start
Verse 2:
we knocked another couple back
the dead soliders lined up on the table
still prepared for an attack
they didn't know they'd been disabled
felt a wave a rush of blood
you won't be happy til the bottle's broken
and you're out swimming in the flood
you kept back kept unspoken
Repeat chorus
Bridge:
you got a look in your eye
when you're saying goodbye
like you wanna say hi
Instrumental:
Verse 3:
the light was on but it was dim
revolver's been turned over
and now it's ready once again
the radio was playing crimson and clover
london bridge is safe and sound
no matter what you keep repeating
nothing's gonna drag me down
to a death that's not worth cheating
Repeat chorus 2X
For the chorus part, all you are doing is playing Em7 with an ascending
bass line that looks like this when tabbed out:
