I can hear the taxi tooting for us

Otherwise I'd throw
you on the bed
A 
What's the fuss about?
D 
A 
Bm 
G 
Politicians, diplomatic missions
D 
E 
Trying to break this world down
A 
D 
A 
into small partitions
D

But none of it matters to you and me
Bm

There's a taxi waiting for us in the street

Maybe now we can't afford the fear

small elections

Dogma damage, brain cells,

oxidized connections

Cause we've missed the movie,
D 
Bm 
G 
we've spilled wine on the duvet
D 
E 
I swear there's someone yelling,
A 
just to turn the music down now
D 
A 
Monday seems a year away,
Bm 
G 
it's Saturday and that's the day
D

For black shoe scuffs on
Em 
A 
cinema seats
Another earthly treat

You
