Oh?
[F#] Looking [F#m] [B] for a friend
[E] [F#] Looking [F#m] everywhere
[F#] Walked [D] along [B] the boulevard
[E] [F#] The [E] boulevard of [B] friends
[F#] All those [F#m] mild [B]-mannered friends [E] I [F#] got
And that careless Sunday fog
That over the [F#m] place
[E] All over town
[F#] I don't want them [F#m] talking to me
[E] Cause [A] I'm leaving [Am] it
Leaving it
Leaving it up to you
To leave it
[B] Leave [A] it
Leave it up to you
All [F#]
[F#m] [E] the [F#]
[F#m] [E] [F#]
[F#m] buildings [E] are breaking down
[F#] Like the whispering [F#m] in your [F#] heart
And it's [F#m] sorted, [B] our life goes [E] [F#] on
Where [F#m] I could [F#] take you, but
And [F#m] if you [E] give me half a chance
I'd do [F#] it now
I'd [F#m] do it [F#] now
Right now, you [F#m] fascist
I know we [E] could all feel [B] safe like Sharon Tate
[E] And we [F#] could give it all up
We [F#m] could give it, [B] give it, give it all up
[A] And the newspapers
Oh, the newspapers
Oh, [D] they'd be listening
They'd be listening to me giving it to you
And the radio
What about the [E] radio?
Oh, they'd be listening [D] to me giving it to you
[A] [C#m] Right, mama
[F#m] Damn [E] right, mama
[F#] I
[F#m] [F#]
[F#m] hear [E] hissing
I hear hissing in the [F#] distance
I hear [F#m] the [F#] tanks crawling
They're crawling over [F#m] the hill
[F#] They're crawling [E] over the hill
[G#] Like rattlesnakes [F#m] in the [E] desert sand
[F#m] [F#] They're breastfeeding up my spell
They're breastfeeding it [C#m] up
[F#] They're breastfeeding it up
They're breastfeeding up my spell
[G#] And what else [F#m] is there?
[B] What else have I got?
[E] [C#m] What else have I got [F#] but that spell?
I'm leaving it
[Bm] I'm leaving it
[D] I'm leaving it [A] up to you
Leaving it [Bm] Leaving [E] [D] it
Leaving it [A] up to you
Oh, leaving it Leaving it
Leaving it in the cloakroom for you
I gotta give it
I gotta give it, I gotta give it
I gotta [A#] [A]
give it,
[E] I gotta [G#] [D] give it
[Dm] [C] [A]
[B] [Cm] [D] [C#] [D]
