A
[Verse 1]
F#m E F#m E
Looking for a friend, looking everywhere
F#m E F#m E
Walked along the boulevard, the boulevard of friends
F#m E
All those mild mannered friends I've got
F#m E
They're careless and they fall down
F#m E
All over the place, all over town
F#m E
I don't want them talking to me
[Chorus 1]
A Asus2 Asus4 A
'Cause I'm leaving it, leaving it, leaving it up to you
A Asus2 Asus4 A
Have to leave it, leave it, leave it up to you
[Instrumental]
F#m E
F#m E
[Verse 2]
F#m E
All the buildings are breaking down
F#m E
Like the whispering in your heart
F#m E
And it's sordid how life goes on
F#m E
When I could take you apart
F#m E
And if you give me half a chance
F#m E
I'd do it now, I'd do it now, right now, you fascist!!
F#m E
I know we could all feel safe like Sharon Tate
F#m E
And we could give it all up, we could give, give, give it all up!
[Chorus 2]
A Asus2
And the newspapers, oh the newspapers!!
Asus4 A
Oh they'd be listening, listening to me giving it to you!!
A Asus2
And the radio, what about the radio?!
Asus4 A
Oh they'd be listening to me giving it to you!
F#m E
Right mama, damn right mama
[Instrumental]
F#m E
[Verse 3]
F#m E
I hear hissing, I hear hissing in the distance
F#m E
I hear the tanks crawling
F#m E
They're crawling over the hill, they're crawling over the hill
F#m E
Like rattlesnakes in the desert sun!
F#m E
Ah, they're blistering up my spell, they're blistering it up!
F#m E
They're breaking it up, they're breaking up my spell!
F#m E
And what else is there, what else have I got?
F#m E
What else have I got but that spell?
[Chorus 1]
A Asus2 Asus4 A
Ah, leaving it, leaving it, I'm leaving it up to you
A Asus2 Asus4 A
Leaving it, leaving it, leaving it up to you
A Asus2 Asus4 A
Oh leaving it, leaving it, leaving it in the cloakroom for you
[Outro]
A Asus2
I've got to give it up, I've got to give it up!
Asus4 A
I've got to give it up, I've got to give it up, give it up!
A Asus2
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, give it up!
Asus4 A
For God's sake, take it!
A
I'm giving it up!
Asus2
Gonna take it!
Asus4 A
Gotta get it out, get out of here!
A Asus2 Asus4 A
(Hellish screaming to fade)
