F                          Am
Tobacco stains our yellow teeth
                              F
And all our fingers and underneath
                                Am
Our fingernails that clasp on sheets
                           F
As we try desperately to sleep
                             Am
Hearts are sad and eyes are tired
                                F
And all this Red Bull keeps us wired
                                Am
It gives us wings, it gives us rings around our eyes

A#                          F
We put three sugars in our tea
                       C
Sit to watch daytime T.V
                                  Dm
And laugh at mums who don’t know who the father is
                                  F
And all our girlfriends are long gone
                            C
We watch too much internet porn
Who needs love when you’ve got silicone and strap-ons?

And beer bloats our spoilt guts
And shit jobs keep us in ruts
And keep us eyeing up the what’s and if’s and buts and maybe’s and
Falling over in the street
Is just a part of every week
And we lie drunkenly just staring at the stars

Remember when they were in reach
And all the teachers used to teach
You can do anything if you put your mind to it
We put our minds to it all
But disappointment crashed the ball
We could’ve done anything
We just never quite knew it

Chorus:
A#         F           C
Tie your scarf on tight
         Dm            A#
It's to be a cold night
           F           C
Tie your scarf on tight
         Dm            A#
It's to be a cold night

           F           C
Tie your scarf on tight
         Dm            A#
It's to be a cold night
           F           C
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night

A#         F           C
Tie your scarf on tight
         Dm            A#
It's to be a cold night
           F           C
Tie your scarf on tight
         Dm            A#
It's to be a cold night

           F           C
Tie your scarf on tight
         Dm            A#
It's to be a cold night
           F           C
Tie your scarf on tight
                        F
It's to be a cold night
