Chords for Elton John - Better Off Dead (Captain Fantastic 7 of 13)

[C#] _ [A#m] _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ [A#m] _ [F] _ [G#] _
[C#] _ _ _ There was a face on a [F#] hoarding that [C#] someone had drawn on
And just enough time for the night to pass by [F#] without warning
_ [D#] Away in the distance there's [G#] a blue flashing [F#] light
_ Someone's in trouble, some [C#] man and I
Are stirring the [G#] on-stands ready [F#] to fuse
The [C#] wind blows [G#] away all [A#m] of yesterday's news
[C#] _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _ _
Well they've locked up their daughters and [F#] they've flattened [C#] the hatches
_ They always could find us but they [F#] never could catch us
[D#] Through the greased street window of an all [G#]-night cafe
[F#] _
[A#m] We watched [F#] the arrested [C#] get taken away
[D#m] And that [C#] cigarette [G#] haze as it [F#] collared to be
_ As the [C#] whores and the [G#] drunks trotting [A#m] from the street
[D#m] _ _ [A#m] _ _ [D#m] _ [F] Caught the skins in the fire, they're [A#m] caught in the fire
_ [F#] I'm how I am [G#] and I'm not [C#] saying fire
_ [F] If the sound of the roses [A#m] is calling you shy
_ _ [D#m] Then you're [F#] better off [G#] dead if you [C#] haven't yet died
[F#] _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _

[F#] _ [A#m] _ _ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[G#] _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [G#] _ [A#m] _
_ _ [D#m] _ [A#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [F]
Caught the skins in the fire, [A#m] they're caught in the fire
I'm _ [F#] _
[G#] not [C#] saying fire
If [F] the sound of the roses [A#m] is calling you shy
_ _ [D#m] Then you're [F#] better off dead [G#] if you [C#] haven't yet died
[F#] _ [C#] _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#] _
[G#] [C#] Better off dead, [A] better [A#m] off dead, [F] better [C#] off dead _ _
