 C   G   Am   C(G) F  
CTrapped on the terraces, I Glooked at you and knew
You were the Amonly thing that mattered
There was Cno one for me but Gyou
In CHarmony Street we beat a man
GJust for standing there
I held my Ambreath as I watched you swing
Then Crun your fingers Gthrough your hair
COh, how could anyGone not love the Amterrible things you Cdo?G  
COh, how could anyGone not want to Amtry and help Cyou?G  
In CBermondsey in Burberry, you Gheld me at the barricade,
the Ampigs arrived with tear gas
And I Cwept at the misGtakes we made
We Cstalked the streets like animals
And Gdanced as windows shattered
For our Amisland, for the thrill of it,
for Ceverything that Gmattered
COh, how could anyGone not want to Amrip it all aCpart?G  
COh, how could anyGone not love your Amcold, black CheartG?
 C   G   Am   C(G) F  
I Cfound you on a Saturday, and Gthat was where I lost you
You Amhad to finally walk away
beCcause of what it Gcost you,
years Clater when I saw your face
In Gline to catch the morning train,
you Amlooked like you'd been softened
Like you Cnever really loved the Gpain
COh, how could anyGone not Amfinally diCminish?G  
The Cthrill of blood comes Ginstantly. There's only Amdarkness at the CfinishG  
CMeet me at the Gbarricade, AmI'll be at the CbarricadeG  
CMeet me at the Gbarricade, the Amlove died, but the Chate can't Gfade
CI'll be at the Gbarricade, the Amlove died, but the Chate won't Gfade...

C G

Trapped on the terraces, I looked at you and knew

You were the only thing that mattered

C G

There was no one for me but you

In Harmony Street we beat a man

Just for standing there

I held my breath as I watched you swing

C G

Then run your fingers through your hair

C G Am C G

Oh, how could anyone not love the terrible things you do?

C G Am C G

Oh, how could anyone not want to try and help you?

C G

In Bermondsey in Burberry, you held me at the barricade,

the pigs arrived with tear gas

C G

And I wept at the mistakes we made

We stalked the streets like animals

And danced as windows shattered

For our island, for the thrill of it,

C G

for everything that mattered

C G Am C G

Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart?

C G Am C G

Oh, how could anyone not love your cold, black heart?

C G Am C G F

C G

I found you on a Saturday, and that was where I lost you

You had to finally walk away

C G

because of what it cost you,

years later when I saw your face

In line to catch the morning train,

you looked like you'd been softened

C G

Like you never really loved the pain

C G Am C G

Oh, how could anyone not finally diminish?

C G Am C G

The thrill of blood comes instantly. There's only darkness at the finish

C G Am C G

Meet me at the barricade, I'll be at the barricade

C G Am C G

Meet me at the barricade, the love died, but the hate can't fade

C G Am C G

I'll be at the barricade, the love died, but the hate won't fade...

C G Am C G F
