Verse 1 Chords:
Sturdy and bright, oh giver of life, are you witless or wise?
Government warning, this lover may bore you
Tattooed to my back
Chorus 1 Chords:
Tenements fell from the skies, when love lights fell from your eyes
Flags flying high, weary patient may rise
I don’t think so no
I don’t think so no
I don’t think so at all, not at all
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
Chasing the cars down around marble arch, a memory to far
Once lost in your eyes now caught between thighs
Should we ask for the bill?
Chorus 2: (use chorus 1 chords)
Never did get to the edge, never jumped no my life carried on
Flags flying high weary patient may rise
I don’t think so no
I don’t think so no
I don’t think so at all, not at all

Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
Should I give you my head? My kidney, my bed?
Should I run far way
Those ghost in your eyes, well they cry when you smile
And it’s hard to be near
Chorus 3: (use chorus 1 chords)
Tenements fell from the skies, when love lights fell from your eyes
Flags flying high, weary patient may rise
I don’t think so no
