Verse:
F Am C Dm F
They fell out into the navy night
Am C
with smiles of stone
Dm F Am C
walking down roads that glittered,
Dm F G
with winter light and snow
F G C D G
linking thin arms, they swam the sea
Am Bb
a soul sea
F G Em Dm
gleefully cackling, bitter and twisted
C G Am
burning like golden rings
F G Am
it was the burning of the bright young things
F Am C
not a penny on them, but
Dm F
they had expensive needs
Am C Dm
flying down, hot city streets
F Am
country and the city mouse
C Dm
found an old Dutch Pancake house
F G Am
ordered a plate of syrupy lies
(play A lower C)
C G
yeah they ate 'em all up
Am
and licked the plate dry
(play these notes an octave lower)
F G Em F
ordered 8, left without paying
F G Am
syrupy, syrupy lies
F G Em Dm
ran down the streets, with pancake gods saying,
C G Am
'we can see your guilty, guilty eyes
C G Am
tonight, a pancake thief dies.'

Verse: (start from the lower keys as in the beginning)
F Am C Dm F
sleepy when drink the magical winds
Am C
parting winds, all of the bright things
F Am C Dm
split them apart, cement on their wake
F G
to places where the pancake gods wait
F G
one got lost and ended up
C
in Leytonstone
F G
other missed his train or
C Dm
lost his wallet, man bag, and his phone
F G
sixty pounds spent on the black cab
C Dm
all the way back home
C Dm
all the way back home
C Dm
all the way back home
F
gods chirped,
G Em Dm
'oh you're not so smug anymore,
F G Am
karma kicked your butt, real good
F G Em Dm
and next time you try making a runner for the door
C G Am
don't be tight, just pay for your food
C G Am
don't be tight, just pay for your food
