The Axe

Am Bm Dm Am Em (3x)


[Verse 1]
             Am
Goddamned machinery
               Bm
Why don't you speak to me?
Dm                         Am         Em
One day I am gonna take an axe to you
             Am
The pitter patter
             Bm
What does it matter?
      Dm            Am
And where's that love
              Em
You promised me?
                Am
I'm pierced by long nails
            Bm
By coloured windmills
     Dm            Am
Your soft sustaining
       Em
Envelope


[Chorus]
                    Am
I thought we had a deal
                    Em
I thought we had a deal
                    Am
I thought we had a deal
                    Em
I thought we had a deal
                    Am
I thought we had a deal
                    Em
I thought we had a deal

Dm Am Em

[Verse 2]
              Am
You bastards speak to me
             Bm
Have you no pity?
Dm                   Am     Em
Give me a goddamned good reason
                   Am
Not to jack it all in
             Bm
You wooden soldiers
     Dm                           Am  Em
I'm daring you to turn yourselves on


[Chorus]
                    Am  Em
I thought we had a deal
