[VERSE 1]
G#m                          B     Bsus4 B
You've been this way since school
                           G||-5-h7--5-h7-
Emaj7                 C#m  D||-5-h7--5-h7-
Dysfunctional, translucent
G#m               B     Bsus4 B
Royalty on your wall
Emaj7               Eb  
So desperately mundane


[PRE-CHORUS]
B5        E5                  B5
They're inbred baby just like you
          E5        B5                  A5
But you'd love the chance to eat their food
                           Ebsus4 Eb
Even though it has been chewed

[VERSE 2] (same as verse 1)
Dream of the Daily Mail
It is the Holy Grail
And then the BBC
Your life would be complete


[PRE-CHORUS] (same as first pre-chorus)
Build a fountain, wash away the poor
Just as long as your motives are pure
Hold on tight or you just might lose her
