Balaclava chords by Arctic Monkeys (Official Version)
Verse 1
Bm
Running off over next door's garden
A
G
Before the hour is done
Bm
It's more a question of feeling
A
G
Than it is a question of fun
Bm
The confidence is the balaclava
A
G
I'm sure you'll baffle 'em good
Bm
Will the ending reek of salty cheeks
A
G
And runny makeup alone
Bm
Or will blood run down the face
A
G
Of a boy bewildered and scorned?
Bm
Or you'll find yourself in a skirmish
A
G
Where you wish you'd never been born
Bm
You tie yourself to the tracks
A
G
And there isn't no going back
Bm
And it's wrong, wrong, wrong
A
But we’ll do it anyway
G
'cause we love a bit of trouble

pulling her from a burning building
A

A
G
is a pleasurable as the start
Bm
The confidence is the balaclava
A
G
I'm sure you baffle 'em straight
Bm
And it’s wrong, wrong, wrong
A
She can hardly wait

Right before the very first kiss

But you resisted and fought
Bm
But sorry, sweetheart I'd much rather
