Burnt By The Sun(Chords)

	        
Intro: Em C (x2) 

verse 1 

Em                    C 
Atom-smashers in the cocktail lounge tonight 
Em                     C 
Opera singers in the graveyard keeping time 
        Em            C 
And the DJ mixes them all 
         Em                   C 
And the music rhymes but it crawls 
         Em               C 
And the music comes from hydrogen bombs 
Em                   C 
Rock bands died when amateurs won 
Em               C 
Data in a hurry, using the new rubble 
Em                      C 
Wipe it up baby, gonna get yourself in trouble 


         Bm           Em 
We were burnt by the sun 
        Bm           A 
Having way too much fun 
  F        G       C    Am 
Sleepless downtown overload 
         G#7                 B7 
Does the daylight bring you down? 


Instrumental 

Em C (x2) 

verse 2 

Em                        C 
Money pours down and it drowns the little man 
Em                                  C 
Parking lot attendants stuff their pockets with their hands 
          Em                    C 
And the children laugh in your face 
          Em                 C 
They can see what you have erased 
      Em                        C 
When dogs make love they don't look at themselves 
Em                              C 
Checking out each other by the way that they smell 
Em                        C 
Rubbing and a'scratching, itching all the time 
Em                          C 
Stop me if I talk too much, do another line 


         Bm           Em 
We were burnt by the sun 
        Bm           A 
Having way too much fun 
      F         G     C      Am 
The church of private enterprise 
         G#7                B7 
Did the daylight bring you down? 


Interlude: Em C (x4) 

verse 3 

Em          C 
I love salt, I love sweets 
Em                        C 
I know there's danger but I fall asleep 
     Em                     C 
The curves, the gasps, the love of life 
Em                   C 
Headlines, gum box, faceless paradise 
Em                         C 
Life rafts bobbing at the bottom of the pier 
Em                         C 
Wood burns faster if it's soaked in gasoline 
Em                              C 
All these towns look the same, everybody's clean 
Em                             C 
Roll 'em out, cheap and fast, kiss me when I fall 


         Bm           Em 
We were burnt by the sun 
        Bm           A 
Having way too much fun 
  F        G       C    Am 
Sleepless downtown overload 
       G#7              B7 
Did I stay outside too long?

Outro 

Em        C 
Alcohol, razor-blades 
Em                  C 
All the clouds are miles away 
Em             C 
Take me down, far away 
Em             C 
Everyone's on holiday 
Em        C 
Alcohol, razor-blades 
Em                  C 
All the clouds are miles away 
Em             C 
Take me down, far away 
Em             C 
Everyone's on holiday 
Em                  C 
All the clouds are miles away 
Em                  C 
All the clouds are miles away 
Em             C 
Everyone's on holiday 
Em             C 
Everyone's on holiday 
Em             C 
Everyone's on holiday 
Em             C 
Everyone's on holiday 
Em             C 
Everyone's on holiday 
Em             C 
Everyone's on holiday
