Intro: G - C - Em - C (2x)
G C
So you've tied your colours to the mast
Em C
Held up the white bag with the highest flag
G C
Lock the bathroom door, boy, have a blast
Em C
Use the flush to justify the aftermath (The aftermath)
G
Oh and look now you're the guest of the government
C
Oh caught out peering over the parapet
Em C
Look now you're the guest of the government
G C
So you've tied your colours to the tree
Em C
Try and bat back questions with certainty
G C
Don't forget your name though that's key
Em C
Let the flock take stock and curb the misery (The misery)
[Refrão]
G
Oh and look now you're the guest of the government
C
Oh caught out peering over the parapet
Em C
Look now you're the guest of the government
G
Oh and look now you're the guest of the government
C
Oh lined up like a pale faced president
Em C
Look now you're the guest of the government
[Próxima Parte]
G C
Look it's the eager barflies and the fashionably late
Em C
The tug between those who come to drink and those to create
G C
By the end of the night it's all been granted the old news shrug
Em C
And we all fall gently in a comfortable hug
G C
And with both eyes on the watch and a trip to the Baltic state
Em C
And the love slowly conquers like rust on a gate
G C
Though the surface can scratch you and the colour can fade
Em C
It's the feeling that starts in the tips of your toes as we rise up again
[Refrão] (repetir)
