Song 1: Our Perfect Disease No Capo Verse 1: F#m We don't admit it but we've never seen eye to eye, A Bm my heartbeat's moaning and yours is making money F#m It's always a shock when old friends pass by, A Bm but with you it's no death in the family F#m Let's not talk about hate when there's hell to pay A Bm for my cowardness and your bad timing F#m We don't admit it but we've never seen eye to eye, A Bm and it's not through a lack of trying Interlude: F#m A Bm F#m A Bm E Chorus: D It was the perfect disease we had, A C# something to argue and scream about D And you will see about contracting back, A C# and locking it somewhere it can't get ripped out D It was the perfect disease we had, A C# D and it hits us like a painful fact Dm F#m We all need someone to drive us mad Post chorus: F#m A Bm Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh F#m A Bm Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh Verse 2: F#m I didn't say it but you never were the honest type, A Bm you tried to fabricate a bed-time story F#m And now I miss those games we had of Jekyll and Hyde, A Bm ever since the day that we parted company F#m Don't send a helping hand I need a farrowing ram, A Bm to feed the reasons that I miss you so sorely F#m I didn't say it but we never saw eye to eye, A Bm now I can't bear it when equally is boring Interlude: F#m A Bm F#m A C# Chorus: D It was the perfect disease we had, A C# something to argue and scream about D And you will see about contracting back, A C# and locking it somewhere it can't get ripped out D It was the perfect disease we had, A C# D and it hits us like a painful fact Dm C# F#m We all need someone to drive us mad Post chorus: F#m A Bm Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh F#m A Bm Ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, ooh ooh ooh ooh oh, wooh Bridge: F#m A G I need you in the TV, I need you on the train, I need you every single which way F#m A G I need you in the mirrors, I need you in my bed, I need you to wreck my head F#m A G I need you in the TV, I need you on the train, I need you just to stand in my way F#m E I need you in the mirrors, I need you in my bed Chorus: D It was the perfect disease we had, A C# something to argue and scream about D And you will see about contracting back, A C# and locking it somewhere it can't get ripped out D It was the perfect disease we had, A E D and it hits us like a painful fact Dm C# F#m We all need someone to drive us mad Song 2: Tokyo (Vampires And Wolves) No Capo Verse: Am C Dm We're self imploding Dm Em F Under the weight of your advice F Am C Dm I wear a suitcase Dm Em F Under each
