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 one of my eyes

Finally

Where the demons from my past
F
Leave me in peace
    Dm       Am
I'll be animating every night
Am        F
The grass will be greener on the other side
F    G      Am
And the Vampires and Wolves
F
Won't sink their teeth
F              Am  C Dm
I'm sick of dancing with the beast

Interlude:
Dm Em F

Verse:
   Am  C Dm
Astrophysics
Dm         Em   F
you'll never be my closest friend
     Am   C Dm
I find no comfort
Dm       Em  F
in what my mind can't comprehend
Am  C Dm
Finally
Dm     Em   F
I know now what it takes
F    Am C Dm  G
It takes money and aeroplanes

Dm          Am
If you love me let me go

Back to that bar in Tokyo

The grass will be greener on the other side
F    G      Am
And the Vampires and Wolves
F
Won't sink their teeth
F              Am
I'm sick of dancing with the beast
     G    Am    F
No matter how much it needs me
    G       Am   F
Go and follow someone else's lead

Chorus:
Dm          Am
If you love me let me go
Am      F
Back to that bar in Tokyo
F      G      Am
Where the demons from my past
F
Leave me in peace
    Dm       Am
I'll be animating every night
Am        F
The grass will be greener on the other side

Song 3: Jump Into The Fog
Capo 2


Verse 1:
A       Bm        D
What a great achievement it was to get a hotel room this late
A       Bm          D
I bet they charge by the hour here, the kind of place where you should bring your own UV ray
A       Bm          D
It's not a big problem with me, love, you don't look that hygienic anyway
A      Bm     D
I'm only here because I want to twist the structure of my average day

Chorus:
A         Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G              Bm  D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A         Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G            Bm       D
I just hope it's your bones that shatter not mine
A         Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G             Bm   D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A         Bm      G   Bm D
We feel nothing so jump into the fog

Verse 2:
A       Bm         D
What a great achievement it was, to find someone who shirks such little self-restraint
A       Bm        D
I'm a non believer but I believe in these dirty little wicked games
A           Bm        D
Snakes and ladders abandoned here love, the climb's too rough to slide back down again
A      Bm    D
I'm only here because I feel the day deserves a truly sordid end

Chorus:
A         Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G             Bm  D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A         Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G             Bm       D
I just hope it's your brains that splatter not mine
A         Bm
We feel nothing so jump into the fog
G             Bm  D
You know that we hit the ground upright
A         Bm      G  Bm D
We feel nothing so jump into the fog

Bridge:
        Em          G      D    F#m
I've made some bad decisions, I'll admit that freely
        Em              G        D    F#m (Fm)
It's just that life tastes sweeter when it's wrapped in debauchery
        Em             G
So drop your map, drop your plans, drop that five-step program
        D               F#m
Because there's not an ounce of faith in this leap
        E        G           D
It's clear you feel nothing so jump into the fog with me

Jump in, jump in, jump in

No Capo


Intro:
C F Am F

Chorus:
    C   F Am     F    C   F  Am
Please allow me to be your anti-depressant
  F         C  F  Am    F   C   F  Am  F
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant

Verse:
C              Am
We kick back and let the pills do the talking
C             Am
People hear a distinct rattle when we're walking
C                          D  F
Then there's the extra two stone that's our only guarantee

C               Am
Our vivid dreams are just like big production movies
C              Am
They get entangled well within our daily routines
C                      D   F
So please re-think or use my trademark strategy

Chorus:
      C   F  Am     F    C   F  Am

I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant

Post-Chorus:
C F Am F
aaa aaa...

Verse:
C            G       Am       G
It's hard to smile when you're as flattened as a pancake
C            G   Am         G
The only tears come from our heads when we concentrate
C                     D    F
Perhaps I'm being unjust or perhaps you agree

Dm             F
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
      Am            F
I needed more than what was in those 40 milligrams
  Dm           F
So cast away with the doctor's plans

Chorus:
    C   F  Am     F    C   F  Am
Please allow me to be your anti-depressant
  F         C  F  Am    F   C   F  Am  F
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant

Interlude:
C F Am F
na na na na... aaa...

Outro:
Dm             F
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
      Am          F
Although I felt as grim as the reaper man
  Dm          F
So cast away with the doctor's plans
C     F    Am   F      C
Like me


Song 5: Last Night I Dreamt...
No Capo


Intro:
C Am F Fm x2

Verse:
C
I'm a good friend and an excellent lover
   Am                 F
I can fool myself just like no other person can
          Fm
I'm turning into a twisted man

C
I haven't got any time for selfless deeds
    Am
What I do for you is indirectly for me

I'm a stubborn boy, there's nothing here that you can break or destroy

Pre-Chorus:
F
Then as I count sheep in my bed
             G#
A train of worry bullets through my head

Chorus:
C              F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
        Am //A B C B on bass
Through all my talk of self-defeat
     G#      G
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
C              F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
       Am //A B C B on bass
From now I'll curb the cynical speaking
       G#             G
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me

Interlude:

Verse:
C
Someone once said I don't have any feelings
    Am
Well I think that emotions can be misleading
      F
And thinking back
               Fm
I might have nailed the coffin shut with that
   C
As I tend to cry in a room full of laughter
    Am
Is the cheese finally sliding off of it's cracker?
F                    Fm
I don't know I'll just prepare myself to let it go

Pre-Chorus:
F
As I count sheep in my bed
            G#
A train of worry bullets through my head

Chorus:
C              F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
        Am //A B C B on bass
Through all my talk of self-defeat
     G#      G
A fearful bomb ticks underneath
C              F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
       Am //A B C B on bass
From now I'll curb the cynical speaking
       G#             G       F
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
       G#             G       F
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me
       G#             G       F    Fm
It seems that dream has sent the biggest chill through me

C             F
Last night I dreamt I died alone
           Am   Am/B
And apart from when I lost my virginity
  C  G    G#       G
I've never been know to frighten easily


Song 6: Techno Fan
No Capo


D
East London's not a bomb site
G
It is a treasure chest
D
We use our penguin costumes
G
More than our evening dress
D
She said I should come over
G
Though the music's not my type
D
Don't you know I'd chop a limb off
Bm     A     G
Just to have a good time

D                              G
Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
Bm           A            G
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
D                              G
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
Bm          A        G
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
                D
I never knew I was a techno fan

D   G         D
Wuuuuuuuuu Wuuuuuu WuUu X2

D
This is not a weird weekend
G
It's an angry wormhole
D
I'm talking like a city boy
G
And drinking with a northern soul
D
She said I should come over
G
Though it's carnage at times
D
It still seems I'd chop a limb off
Bm     A    G
Before I put up a fight

D                              G
Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
Bm           A            G
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
D                              G
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
Bm          A        G
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
G
I never knew I was a techno
Em
We are the 1980s
G
We are the Detroit lights
Bm           A          G
And I never wanna, I never wanna see this stop
Em
I'm in debt to you
            Gm
But don't feed me plant food
        D                       G
Shut up and move with me, move with me, or, or get out of my face
Bm          A          G
I didn't spend 20 sheets and not cut a shape
        D                       G
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me, or, or let go of my hand
Bm          A         G
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
           D
I never knew I was a techno fan

Song 7: 1996
Capo 4


Verse 1:
C            G
I had no cares in the 1990s
Em        D
I knew of no downfalls
C                  G
Though war was breaking out all around me
Em             D
My concerns were with prank calls

C
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
G     Em         D
Right in front of the older kids
C                 G
When our self belief, our self belief
     Em          A
Wasn't scarred by the modern itch
A
Cos now it feels like...


Chorus:
C         G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Em       G
And the more I give the less I get
C         G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Em           D
There's little here to miss...

       C
Bring back 1996
G      Em
Bring back 1996
D                C
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
G      Em  D
Bring back 1996


Verse 2:
C                G
We were cloning sheep in the 1990's
Em           D
We were building telescopes
C                  G
And sugar filled the whole of my body
Em          D
As I urged it on to grow

C
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
G    Em         D
Just to impress the older kids
C                 G
When my self belief, my self belief
    Em         A
Wasn't lost in the modern glitch
A
Cos now it feels like...


Chorus:
C         G
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
Em       G
And the more I give the less I get
C         G
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
Em           D
There's little here to miss...

       C
Bring back 1996
G      Em  A
Bring back 1996


Bridge:
C           G
Stop talking, stop talking
Em           D
I need a lover not a friend tonight
C          G
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
Em            A
I'm not cut out for the modern life

Song 8: Walking Disasters
Capo 1


G         Am         Em  C
She used to get her kicks from a fall to the floor
G           Am
But now she's always wasted
      Em       C
A total looker, but she's jaded
G          Am      Em C
The kind of shivering wreck that I adore
    G       Am
I can't offer you a rescue
     Em         C
But I can tell you what I'd do

G            Am
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly
Em            C
And tell my father that I need him back again
G           Am
And if these words wont drop from your lips
Em       C
I will be your Freudian slip

G        Am
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
Em         C
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
Em      Am
Only finding questions in answers
Em         C
You and I are just walking disasters (x3)

G           Am              Em C
She only finds her love in a downtown store
G                      Am
Consumption makes her stronger
        Em          C
You're the sweetest anaconda
G              Am       Em C
The kind of lack of respect that I adore
     G         Am
I cant offer you a rescue
             Em             C
But when you've lost all that you have left to lose

G                Am
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly
Em                C
And tell my father that I need him back again
G                Am
And if these words wont drop from your lips
Em         C
I will be your Freudian slip

G       Am                 Em C
As sharp as a knife and as blunt as a wheel
G               Am         Em C
You be my calm I'll be your pneumatic drill
G              Am             Em C
And what we'll never want, we'll always need
Em           Am      Em
Right now we need some pop psychology
C
To keep us up-beat

G                   Am
So tell your mother that you love her dearly
Em                    C
And tell your father your won't lock him out again
G                Am
And if these words wont drop from your lips
Em         C
I will be your Freudian slip

G            Am
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
Em            C
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
G        Am
Only finding questions in answers
Em           C
You and I are just walking disasters (x5)



Song 9: Girls/Fast Cars
No Capo

Verse:
F             G
We don't care for romance
Dm             C
Romance or shooting stars
F          G      Dm          C
They were last found together in 18th century memoirs
F             G
We don't care for lovers
Dm                C
If loving's all that they've got
F          G       Dm
There must be other hobbies if they want to keep the plot

Pre-Chorus:
C
I'm a man of simple tastes,
Bb
No whiskey and caviar
C
And what I feel is what I say
I'm not trying to be smart

Chorus:
F          G    Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C                    Bb        Dm
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart

Verse: (again, better with power chords)
(F not played)      G Dm           Em
We don't care for new year, new year or fireworks
F          G     Dm          Em
If all they represent is how to go from bad to worse
F              G
Let's not feel disheartened
Dm                 C
There's no need to change the locks
F           G        Dm
We'll stick to what we know and what we know is not a lot.

Pre-Chorus:
C
I'm a man of simple tastes
Bb
No chewing on fat cigars
C
And what I feel is what I say
I'm not trying to be smart

Chorus:
F          G  Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C
It's cheap and it's pathetic,
       Bb      Dm
But you cant hate me just because
F          G  Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C                    Bb        Dm
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart

Pre-Chorus:
C
I'm a man of simple tastes,
Bb
No whiskey or caviar
C
And what I feel is what I say
But don't overthink this next part;

Chorus:
F          G  Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C
It's cheap and it's pathetic,
       Bb      Dm
But you cant hate me just because
F          G  Dm
I like girls, girls and fast cars
C                    Bb        Dm
You too will feel this shallow when one melts your little heart.

No Capo

Intro:
C
G Am Em Em x2

Verse 1:
G       Am      Em            C           A
My teeth have never looked quite this yellow and my body never quite this fat
G       Am    Em           C         A
I'll pay well over the odds just to have some teenage abandoned back
G     Am     Em        C           A
I hit the ice of the 5th of Jan and I swear it was an act of fate
        C           Am
But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down
    C             D
I just take my thoughts into the center of town

Chorus:
  G         E
And Schumacher the Champagne
          Am    C
Whoever needed good cause to celebrate
G     F#m   E            Am      C
Schumacher the Champagne, might as well be proud of last place

Interlude:
G Am Em Em 2x

Verse 2:
G     Am   Em         C           A
We used to set ourselves on fire when chemistry was twice a week
G     Am     Em          C          A
And now I pay for it over a counter whilst they become fitness freaks
G   Am     Em     C           A
My bad habits are taking over all the good left inside
        C           Am
But I don't get angry when I'm feeling down
    C             D
I just take my thoughts into the center of town

Chorus:
  G         E
And Schumacher the Champagne
          Am    C
Whoever needed good cause to celebrate
G     F#m   E            Am      C
Schumacher the Champagne, might as well be proud of last place
  G     F#m   E            Am            Cm
And Schumacher the Champagne never needed good cause to celebrate

 Am      C
Oh take me as I am
  Am      C
Oh take me as I am
  Am      C
Oh take me as I am  or not at all

G Am Em Em
G Am Em Em
G Am Em Em
G Am Em C      G Am Em
    Or not at all

Song 11: Valentine
No Capo



F#m           E           D
Remember when I found a broken branch
    A                E     Fm
And shoved it through your bicycle spokes
F#m                E     D
And how remorse quickly took its stand
    A                        E
When you hit the deck and broke your nose

D              C#m B
You were always the emo type
D                   C#m         B
Strained hair matched to a bitter tone
D                          C#m B
Well I don’t care much for fashion or socialites
D                          E        C#m
The nihilists always get my vote

D
All she ever wanted was a little direction
A                   B
All she ever needed was a friend
D
All she ever made were the worst impressions
A              B
All she ever did was offend
D
You’re the only one to fail my sex drive
D
Will you or won’t you, Valentine?

A  / E / D /

F#m           E           D
Remember when you laid me on my back
    A                E     Fm
And performed to me my favourite song
F#m           E           D
And how I shivered upon its climax
    A                E     Fm
And those lips still plague my thoughts ten years on

D              C#m B
You were always the emo type
D                   C#m         B
Strained hair matched to a bitter tone
D                          C#m B
Well I don’t care much for fashion or socialites
D                          E        C#m
The nihilists always get my vote

D
All she ever wanted was a little direction
A                   B
All she ever needed was a friend
D
All she ever made were the worst impressions
A              B
All she ever did was offend
D
You’re the only one to fail my sex drive
D
Will you or won’t you, Valentine?


D
All she ever wanted was a little direction
A             B
Far away from this broken sea
D
And all I ever needed was some domination
A              B
From a girl with low self esteem
D
I think we share the same blood type
D           A
Will you or won’t you, Valentine?
