1981

[Chorus]
            B                  F#                 E
She's gonna bang her head like nineteen eighty one
            B                  F#                 E
She's gonna bang her head like nineteen eighty one

[Verse 1]
B                                  E
 She's throwing punches to the beat
       F#              B
To the sound of cable TV
                              E    F#
And she'll never see the world the same
B                            E
 She is a Cold War in my head
    F#           B
And I am East Berlin
                           E  F#
On the danger side of parts unknown

[Pre-Chorus]
D#m                       G#m               E
   Coffee and cyanide for lovers in disgrace
If this is not a test,
       F#
we got one foot in the grave

[Chorus]

She's gonna bang her head like nineteen eighty one
            B                  F#                 E
She's gonna bang her head like nineteen eighty one
            B                  F#              E  B
She's gonna bang her head like nineteen eighty one

[Verse 2]
E                       Em
Crimes from another time
                         B
Champagne and party lives
                     F#
God bless the end of times
C#m              B       A
Pain, commies and cocaine
                G#m     F#
Slam danced in acid rain
We'll live the dream,
       E                   F#
for fifteen minutes of fame

[Chorus]
            B                  F#                 E
She's gonna bang her head like nineteen eighty one

She's gonna bang her head like nineteen eighty one
            B                  F#                 E
She's gonna bang her head like nineteen eighty one
