On Standby

Am        G       F
Would you stay on standby
                            Am
Because I need another alibi
       G                  F
In the wrong place at the wrong time
Am        G           F
Could you talk a fine line
                            Am    G
I need to know that I'll be fine
      F
Bulletproof

[Chorus]
C
G                    Am          F
It's like I've never been born
                   C
We conceive in the alleyways
G                    Am        F
It's like I've never been born
           F            G
We believe in other ways
          Em        Am
That you do and you did
            F             G         E
And there's proof that we did wrong tonight

[Verse 2]
Am        G       F
Could you sense a tragedy
                          Am
Because I saw it on the BBC
          G             F
There's a panel on that channel

Am        G             F
Could you walk a narrow line
                             Am    G
I need to know I'll serve my time
F
With some use

[Chorus]
C
G                    Am          F
It's like I've never been born
                   C
We conceive in the alleyways
G                    Am        F
It's like I've never been born
           F            G
We believe in other ways
          Em        Am
That you do and you did
            F             G         E
And there's proof that we did wrong tonight

[Middle 8]
    F               Am         G
And tonight you can cry if you want to
             Am
But it won't help you
        F         G
You can cry if you want to
             Am   C
But it won't help you
   G
To get you through this crime
   Am         G    F         E
It will plague you standby

[Chorus]
C
G                    Am          F
It's like I've never been born
                   C
We conceive in the alleyways
G                    Am        F
It's like I've never been born
           F            G
We believe in other ways
          Em        Am
That you do and you did
            F             G         E
And there's proof that we did wrong tonight

[Outro]
E
We did wrong
