Lyrics

[Intro]
| E | C#m | E | C#m |
| E | C#m | C | Am  |

[Verse 1]
E                            C#m
 First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than
perfect
E                       C#m
 Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
C                           Am
 You live you life like a canary in a coalmine
E                      C#m
 You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line
E                              C#m
 You say you want to spend the winter in Firenza
E                            C#m
 You're so afraid to catch a dose of influenza
C                            Am
 You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
E                      C#m
 You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

[Chorus]
E  C#m
 Canary in a coalmine
E  C#m
 Canary in a coalmine
E  C#m
 Canary in a coalmine
C Am E C#m

[Verse 2]
E                           C#m
 Now if I tell you that you suffer from delusions
E                        C#m
 You pay your analyst to reach the same conclusions
C                            Am
 You live your life like a canary in a coalmine
E                      C#m
 You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

[Chorus]
E  C#m
 Canary in a coalmine
E  C#m
 Canary in a coalmine
E  C#m               C Am
 Canary in a coalmine

[Interlude]

| A | - | C#m | -   |

[Verse 3]
E                            C#m
 First to fall over when the atmosphere is less than
perfect
E                       C#m
 Your sensibilities are shaken by the slightest defect
C                           Am
 You live you life like a canary in a coalmine
E                      C#m
 You get so dizzy even walking in a straight line

[Chorus]
E  C#m
 Canary in a coalmine
E  C#m
 Canary in a coalmine
C Am E  C#m
      Canary in a coalmine
E  C#m
 Canary in a coalmine
E  C#m               C Am
 Canary in a coalmine

[Outro]
E  C#m
 Canary in a coalmine
E  C#m
