Libertines - Death On The Stairs guitar chord

DEATH ON THE STAIRS

A#

From way far across the sea

F

Came an eritsean maiden she

GM

Had a one track mind and eyes for me

GM

Half blinded in the war

CM

With a pale young anglican

F

Who said he'd help her all he can

A# D#

Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend

CM

She had no mind to please him

F A#

Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind

There's a little boy in a stairwell who say

"I hate people like you"

Got matches & cable TV half of less than 50p

We all clambered over the balcony

Banging on the window waking steve

Bringing with a new love his un-holy friend

If you really need it you mustn't leave it behind

A# D#

Please kill me no don't kill me

F

But don't bring that ghost round to my door

I don't wanna see them anymore

A# D#

Please kill me no don't kill me

F

But don't bang on about yesterday

I wouldn't know about that anyway

Monkey asked the mouse before

If she loved anybody more than he

It turns you into stone

Now i'm reversing down this lonely street

To a cheap hotel when i can meet the past

And pay it off and keep it sweet

It's sweet like nothing at all

Yes i've seen you there how could i help but stare

It rips the heart out off your body

Now i've taken far too much to think

Or see or touch what's real i'm stranded on this street that

Paved my only way home

You really need it you just won't leave it behind

He got nothing he got nothing at all
