You Will Never Take Me Alive The Paper Chase
Intro:
[A]
[A]Let's hear it for circuits
lines drawn in the earth
cut to scramble for ample
little mouse hole to park your [D]new car
and chew off our [A]arms
with teeth we are losing from slow, comfy screwings
three cheers for the backseats
you legs pinned that look in your [D]eye
you'll never take me [A]alive
this is [E]what you are
you are what you [A]are
let's hear it for mirrors
with the ghost image clearer
hip hip for the pig that religiously belts you un[D]done
this little piggy had[A] none
'cause god hates our country
she told me she wants me to sing out "he's female!"
three cheers for the gal in the [D]sky
you'll never take me [A]alive
this is [E]what you are
you are [A]what you are
this is [E]what you are[D]
do you [A]know what it means to be [F#m]doomed?
do you [D]know what it means to be [E]cursed?
when the [A]blue eyes are washing their [F#m]mouths in the south
you know [D]they're hiding bodies [E]north
did you [A]know that we're sinking knee-[F#m]deep?
did you [D]nail down what you plan to [E]keep?
when the [A]poltergeist pushes his [F#m]freight on your shore
you are [E]done for
done for
done [A]for
the [A]caskets are coughing with quotable quoting
the graveyard is littered with loves who thought there was no [D]doubt
the world could not live [A]without
this is [E]what you are
you are [A]what you are
this is [E]what you are[D]
if i [Db]live through the day when the [A]comet does come
i will [E]write every one on my [D]list one by one
[Db]sharpen the axe
stomp the [A]flames out on backs
i will [E]be who you want me to be
i will [B]be who you want me to [Db]be
do you [A]know what it means to be [F#m]doomed?
do you [D]know what it means to be [E]cursed?
when the [A]blue eyes are washing their [F#m]mouths in the south
you know [D]they're hiding bodies [E]north
did you [A]know that your boot heels are [F#m]stuck?
losing [D]feet worth the rabbit's good [E]luck
when the [A]devil is resting his [F#m]head on your door
you are [E]done for
done for
done [A]for
you are [E]done for
done for
done [A]for
did you [A]know that you nurse a bee[Bm]hive?
come and [Dbm]get it
come take me a[D]live
all the [Db]nooses are raining a [B]grizzly frontier
we will [E]show this cruel world
we will [D]show this cruel world we were [A]here
