Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

We've lived in bars

 And danced on tables

Hotel trains and ships that sail

We swim with sharks

 And fly with aeroplanes in the air

Send in the trumpets

 The marching wheelchairs

Open the blankets and give them some air

Swords and arches bones and cement

 The light and the dark of the innocent of men

We know your house so very well

And we will wake you once we've walked up

 All your stairs

There's nothing like living in a bottle

 And nothing like ending it all for the world

We're so glad you will come back

Every living lion will lay in your lap

The kid has a homecoming the champion the horse

Who's going to play drums, guitar or organ with chorus

As far as we've walked from both of ends of the sand

Never have we caught a glimpse of this man

We know your house so very well

 And we will bust down your door if you're not there

We've lived in bars

 And danced on tables

Hotel trains and ships that sail

We swim with sharks

 And fly with aeroplanes out of here
