G C F Am F C Well, wood burns, and metal rusts, G C So, darling, what’s to become of us, Am C When the weather turns, and they say it must, F G C Well, we’ll need coats for the both of us, F C But the wool is thin and it’s full of holes, G C And there’s no heat in this abandoned bus, Am C So will we go alone, out on our own, F G C Oh, darling, what’s to become of us F C Well, boats sink into the sea, G C And airplanes that crash like computer screens, Am C And signals fail, trains derail, F G C And car bonnets crumple like magazines, F C ‘Til they’re put in piles like stacks of tiles, G C In a yard full of fridges and broken stuff, Am C Will we go alone out on our own, F G C Oh, darling, what’s to become of us C F We will bite our noses off to spite our faces, G C G Both of us will rust like metal fences in the rain, C F You will pour the gasoline and I will spark the matches, G C G We will burn within our fire, we will burn within our flames F C Well, yeast ferments and milk sours, G C When it’s out of the fridge for too many hours, Am C Well, we lament in separate towers, F G C Never knowing if we’re brave or if we’re cowards, F C For they pour cement down this hole of ours, G C And we’ll be stuck under stones and flowers, Am C Will we go alone out on our own, F G C Oh, darling, that’s what will become of us
