The Isles Chords

  			

INTRO: C#m  B  C#m  B 

VERSE 1: 
C#m                                 B (E B) 
Economic downturn you can get a job 
C#m                                  B 
Apologetic parents you can get a job 
              C#m                            B         (E B) 
Sometimes I'm feeling just like Cupid with a bow and arrow 
        C#m                       B 
And I'm firing it at people who remain too shallow 

 
       C#m                       B 
In the B.R.I.T.I say British Isles 
    C#m                    B 
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild 


VERSE 2: 
C#m                                         B (E B) 
Terror on the pavement, panic in the street 
C#m                                          B 
Tension in the twisted silence of our sheets 
            C#m                          B 
Sometimes I lie awake for hours, feeling so synthetic 
         C#m                                  B 
While my eyes are screaming out for something way more epic 

 
         C#m                       B 
It's the B.R.I.T.I say British Isles 
    C#m                    B 
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild 
C#m 
Terribly bold they try so hard 
B 
Never look up to see the stars 
       C#m                      B 
In the B.R.I.T.I say British Isles 


BRIDGE: 
C#m 
Leeds screaming, Bristol torn 
B 
Belfast and Hull forlorn 
C#m 
Oxford dreaming in denial 
B 
With all it's gleaming spires 
C#m 
Stoke bleeding, Glasgow yawns 
B 
Dundee and Cardiff mourn 
C#m 
York breaking, Sheffield cries 
B 
All fears are multiplied 

 
       C#m                       B 
In the B.R.I.T.I say British Isles 
    C#m                    B 
The streets are bleak, the kids are running wild 
C#m 
Terribly bold they try so hard 
B 
Never look up to see the stars 
       C#m                      B 
In the B.R.I.T.I say British Isles
