D#m9
Viciously, she sleeps
A#7sus4     A#7
Walks alone her lonely beat
     D#m7        B6
She trips, falls into it all
     A#7sus4         A#7
And I wish I bite my lip and
D#m7      Bmaj7
Call her away from you my little one
A#7sus4        A#7
Oh from you my little one

D#m7 B6      A#7sus4 A#7
     oh from you my little one.

D#m7             Bmaj7
Don't come too close
          G#7sus4
You don't wanna see my ghost
D#m7                 Bmaj7
Your turn but I'm betrayed
       G#7sus4
By you my sweetheart
D#m7                      Bmaj7
Don't you think that you went too far
       G#7sus4
Do you want to see my heart bleed?
D#m7             Bmaj7
For you, you and him
        G#7sus4
Him and you, you know my heart bleeds

Chorus:
D#m7   F#              G#m7
All of us, we're going out tonight
            F#       C#
We're gonna walk all over your cars
D#m7          F#          G#m7
The Kooks are out in the streets
               F#        C#
Oh were gonna steal your signs
D#m7        F#               G#m7
All of us, we're going out tonight
             F#      C#
We're gonna walk all over your cars
D#m7          F#          G#m7
The Kooks are out in the streets
                F#  C#
Oh we're gonna see your...

I’m sorry that I let you go
I let you down, I let you down, my dear
I always seem to play these games with you, my dear
I always, s-s-s-so
I always, so

Chorus

Oh, oh, my Juliet, oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
I’ll never betray you, my love
Oh, oh, my Juliet
I’ll never betray you, my love

Don't come too close
You don't wanna see my ghost
Your turn but I'm betrayed
By you my sweetheart
