You Will Never Take Me Alive by The Paper Chase

Intro:
A

A
Let's hear it for circuits
lines drawn in the earth
cut to scramble for ample
                               D
little mouse hole to park your new car
                 A
and chew off our arms
with teeth we are losing from slow, comfy screwings
three cheers for the backseats
                                  D
you legs pinned that look in your eye
                     A
you'll never take me alive

        E
this is what you are
                 A
you are what you are

let's hear it for mirrors
with the ghost image clearer
                                                 D 
hip hip for the pig that religiously belts you undone
                     A
this little piggy had none
'cause god hates our country
she told me she wants me to sing out "he's female!"
                                D  
three cheers for the gal in the sky
                     A
you'll never take me alive

        E
this is what you are
        A
you are what you are
        E                D
this is what you are

       A                        F#m
do you know what it means to be doomed?
       D                        E
do you know what it means to be cursed?
         A                           F#m
when the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
         D                     E
you know they're hiding bodies north

        A                            F#m
did you know that we're sinking knee-deep?
        D                          E
did you nail down what you plan to keep?
         A                      F#m
when the poltergeist pushes his freight on your shore
        E
you are done for
done for
     A
done for

    A
the caskets are coughing with quotable quoting
                                                              D
the graveyard is littered with loves who thought there was no doubt
                         A
the world could not live without

        E
this is what you are
        A
you are what you are
        E                D

     Db                            A
if i live through the day when the comet does come
       E                     D
i will write every one on my list one by one
Db
sharpen the axe
          A
stomp the flames out on backs
       E
i will be who you want me to be
       B                     Db
i will be who you want me to be

do you know what it means to be cursed?
         A                           F#m
when the blue eyes are washing their mouths in the south
         D                     E
you know they're hiding bodies north

        A                             F#m
did you know that your boot heels are stuck?
       D                            E
losing feet worth the rabbit's good luck
         A                    F#m
when the devil is resting his head on your door
        E
you are done for
done for
     A
done for

        E
you are done for
done for
     A
done for

        A                        Bm
did you know that you nurse a beehive?
         Dbm
come and get it
              D
come take me alive
        Db                   B
all the nooses are raining a grizzly frontier
        E
we will show this cruel world
        D                             A
we will show this cruel world we were here
