The Arrogance Of The Drunk Pedestrian Cifras

Drop D tuning
 
[Intro]
D Bm A/C#
 
[Verse]
D                            Bm           A/C#
With the arrogance of the drunk pedestrian
D                Bm                   A/C#
Taxi driver looks down my girlfriends top
D                Bm                 A/C#
Asks politely if he can be a gentlemen
D                  Bm                        A
Pulls his aviators down so he doesn't have to stop
 
Bm                            A/C#     D
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
 
Until the metaphors are literal
                         Bm
Forced screams are guttural
                              A/C#    D
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
 
Until the metaphors, until the metaphors
 
[Chorus]
G                 A      G      A
When I said this is all I had I meant it
D                          Bm   A/C#              D
And I speak in the tired clichés of a strip club DJ
           Bm                   A/C#
Marvellous things so quickly get mundane
D                           Bm
When you see the scaffolding behind me
                 A
And all the dirty air it always blocks your way
 
Bm                           A/C#  D
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
 
Until the metaphors are literal
                    Bm
Forced screams are guttural
                              A/C# D
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
                 Bm                 A
Until the metaphors, until the metaphors
 
Until the metaphors
 
[Chorus]
       G             A     G      A
When I said this was all I had I meant it
       G           A     G       A
When I said this was all I had I meant it
         Em     F#m       G       A
When you said I was a bad person I felt it
         Em      F#m       G         A
When I said this was all I had I meant it
          Em     F#m        G        A
When you said that I had destroyed you
            Em             F#m         G       A
I knew that part of you was trying to destroy me too
       Em          F#m        G         A
When I said that I wanted to die I meant it
        Em           F#m      G         A
When I said that you saved my life I meant it
 
But goodbye
