New Art For The People

C       G       Am
But for the cum in your hair,
F               Am
The cocaine on your teeth
C       G       Am
You'd be just like the girls
F               Am
That I kissed on the heath
C       G       Am
Your mother left and you're all alone
F       G       C
And the world is at your feet
G       F       Am      C
You smell like ash, mildew and hash
F       G       Am
Can barely even speak


F               G               Am              F
And it's so sad that you're so sad and you're so bad for me
F               G               Am              F
I followed your perfume as you ran do wn the street
F                             G                                 Am            F
I caught you and held you and pushed back your fringe and swore undying loyalty
F               G
We'll make a new art for the people,
Am              F
A new art for the people
F               G
A new art for the people
Am
you and me.


C       G       Am
I followed you home
F               Am
Knocked at your door
C       G       Am
Offered myself in the kitchen
F               Am
Passed out on the floor
C       G       Am
And when you shout, I get terrified
F       G       C
And then I love you more
G       F       Am      C
You sound middle class, but I'll let it pass,
F       G       Am
I don't understand you at all


F               G               Am              F
And it's so sad that you're so sad and you're so bad for me
F               G               Am              F
I swallowed my pride with a pill and decided to give you back your key
F                             G                          Am           F
You caught me and held me and I took your hand and swore undying loyalty
F               G
We'll make a new art for the people,
Am              F
A new art for the people
F               G
A new art for the people
Am
you and me.


C       G       Am
Under the covers forever
F               Am
Everything well within reach
C       G       Am
A small price to pay for our freedom
F               Am
And for our celebrity
C       G       Am
Such ornaments and gorgeous things
F       G       C
Like string lights at the beach
G       F       Am      C
Intensive care and conditioned air
F       G       Am
And our faces on TV


F               G               Am              F
And it's so sad but they're so glad that you're so bad for me
F               G               Am              F
The dark days ahead and the blood on the bed and the cover of the NME
F                         G                              Am           F
They gave us a cheque and took us by our necks and swore undying loyalty
F               G
We'll make a new art for the people,
Am              F
A new art for the people
F               G
A new art for the people
Am
you and me.
