[Intro]
Bbm F
I am trying to be heroic,
Gb Db Dbmaj7
In an age of modernity.
Bbm F
I am trying to be heroic,
Gb Ebm Ebm7
'cause all around me history sings.
Bbm F
So I enjoyed and I devoured
Ebm Db Dbmaj7
flesh and wine and luxury.
Bbm
But in my heart,
F
I am lukewarm;
Gb Bbm
nothing ever really touches me.

[Verse 1]
Bbm Bbm/Db
At Les Trois Garcons
Bbm/F Bbm
we meet at precisely nine o'clock.
Bbm Bbm/Db
I order the foie gras
Bbm/F Bbm
and I eat it with complete disdain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm Bbm/Db
Bubbles rise in champagne flutes,
Bbm/F Bbm
but when we kiss, I feel nothing.
Bbm Bbm/Db
Feasting on sleeping pills
Bbm/F Bbm
and Marlboro Reds.
[Chorus]
Bbm Db Gb Ebm Gb Ebm
Ohho how our how our parents
Gb Ab Bbm Db
they s uffered for nothing
Gb Ebm
Live the dream, live the dream,
Gb Ebm
live the dream
Gb Ab Bbm Db
Like the Eighties never happened.
Gb Ebm Gb Ebm
People are afraid are afraid
Gb Ab Bbm Db
To meeerge on the freeway.

[Verse 2]
Bbm Bbm/Db
Stroll the the pier
Bbm/F
into the magazine launch party.
Bbm Bbm Bbm/Db
I'm handed a pill,
Bbm/F Bbm
and I swallow with complete disdain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm Bbm/Db
Kickdrum bangs off beat highhats;
Bbm/F Bbm
Remember to look bored.
Bbm Bbm/Db
We suck each others' faces,
Bbm/F Bbm
and make sure we are noticed.
[Bridge]
Bbm
Because East London is a vampire,
it sucks the joy right out of me
F/A
How we long for corruption in these golden years.
[Chorus]
Bbm Db Gb Ebm Gb Ebm
Ohho how our how our parents
Gb Ab Bbm Db
