[Chorus]
Bm
We got the love
A
But they put out the fire
Bm A
'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire
Bm
We got the love
A
But they put out the fire
Bm A
'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire
[Verse 1]
Bm A
a kid lifts up a spray can
Bm A
And never thought it would be famous What he did
Bm A
turned the mess into a dreamland
Bm A
With a quirky act of romance
Bm A
a version of Romeo and Juliet
Bm A
This time with Adidas sneakers and cigarettes
Bm A
a couple of kids trying to cut down the safety net
Bm A
They twisted the story, so they could bring glory to it
[Pre-Chorus]
G D A
I love ya, will you marry me?
G
Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality
D A F#m
Ain't it sad, sad, sad
[Chorus]
Bm
We got the love
A
But they put out the fire
Bm A
'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire
Bm
We got the love
A
But they put out the fire
Bm A
'Cos they expect us to walk on the wire
[Verse 2]
Bm
They didn't write her name on the article
A
That to me just seems pretty farcical
Bm A
Now coppers take coppers out of his hands from a ban from alcohol
Bm
Fundamental narcissistic
A
Tried to make out he didn't exist
Bm
When they wrote on the what
A Bm A
When they wrote on the t-shirts, cool merch and postcards
Bm A
And lighting it up like a piece of art
Bm A
They kicked him to the side and left him to starve
Bm A
The memory that's rebreaking his broken heart
[Pre-Chorus]
G D A
I love ya, will you marry me?
G
Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality
D A F#m
Ain't it sad, sad, sad
G D A
I love ya, will you marry me?
G
Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality
D A F#m
Ain't it sad, sad, sad
[Bridge]
Bm F#m Bm
Everyday, everyday, every single day
Bm F#m Bm
Everyday, everyday, every single day
[Pre-Chorus]

I love ya, will you marry me?

Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality

Oh what a shame, we gotta pay for reality
