Trapped on the terraces, I looked at you and knew
Am
You were the only thing that mattered
CG
There was no one for me but you
C
In Harmony Street we beat a man
G
Just for standing there
Am
I held my breath as I watched you swing
CG
Then run your fingers through your hair
CGAmCG
Oh, how could anyone not love the terrible things you do?
CGAmCG
Oh, how could anyone not want to try and help you?
CG
In Bermondsey in Burberry, you held me at the barricade,
Am
the pigs arrived with tear gas
CG
And I wept at the mistakes we made
C
We stalked the streets like animals
G
And danced as windows shattered
Am
For our island, for the thrill of it,
CG
for everything that mattered
CGAmCG
Oh, how could anyone not want to rip it all apart?
CGAmCG
Oh, how could anyone not love your cold, black heart?

CG
I found you on a Saturday, and that was where I lost you
Am
You had to finally walk away
CG
because of what it cost you,
C
years later when I saw your face
G
In line to catch the morning train,
Am
you looked like you'd been softened
CG
Like you never really loved the pain
CGAmCG
Oh, how could anyone not finally diminish?
CGAmCG
The thrill of blood comes instantly. There's only darkness at the finish
CGAmCG
Meet me at the barricade, I'll be at the barricade
CGAmCG
Meet me at the barricade, the love died, but the hate can't fade
CGAmCG
I'll be at the barricade, the love died, but the hate won't fade...
