[Verse 1]
C                           Em
  Tobacco stains our yellow teeth
                              C
And all our fingers and underneath
                              Em
Our fingernails that clasp on sheets
                               C
As we try desperately to sleep
                            Em
Hearts are sad and eyes are tired
                                 C
And all this Red Bull keeps us wired
                               Em
It gives us wings, it gives us rings around our eyes


[Bridge 1]
F                                C
  We put three sugars in our tea
                       G
Sit to watch daytime T.V
                                 Am                G F
And laugh at mums who don’t know who the father is
                                 C
And all our girlfriends are long gone
                            G
We watch too much internet porn

Who needs love when you’ve got silicone and strap-ons?

[Verse 2]

C                            Em
  And beer bloats our spoilt guts
                           C
And shit jobs keep us in ruts
                            Em
And keep us eyeing up the what’s
                                 C
And if’s and buts and maybe’s and
                    Em
Falling over in the street
                            C
Is just a part of every week
                          Em
And we lie drunkenly just staring at the stars


[Bridge 2]

F                                 C
  Remember when they were in reach
                                  G
And all the teachers used to teach
                           Am                 G F
You can do anything if you put your mind to it
                            C
Well we put our minds to it all
                                 G
But disappointment crashed the ball

We could’ve done anything, we just never quite knew it, so...


[Chorus 1]
F            C            G
  Tie your scarf on tight
         Am             F
It's to be a cold night
           C            G
Tie your scarf on tight
         Am             F
It's to be a cold night

           C            G
Tie your scarf on ti-gh-t
         Am             F
It's to be a cold night
           C            G
Tie your scarf on tight
        (Am)
It's to be a cold night

F               C            G
  So tie your scarf on tight
         Am             F
It's to be a cold night
           C          G
Tie your scarf on ti-gh-t
         Am           F
It's to be a cold ni-gh-t

           C            G
Tie your scarf on ti-gh-t
         Am             F
It's to be a cold ni-ght
          C            G
Tie your scarf on tight
                        C
It's to be a cold night
