[Opening]
Wait ’til you’re announced, we’ve not yet lost all our graces
The hounds will stay in chains, look upon your greatness
That you’ll send, the call I’ll send
[section 2]
[C]Call all the ladies out, [C]they’re in their finery
[Am]A hundreds jewels on throats, [G]a hundred jewels between teeth
[C]Now bring my boys in, [C]their skin in craters like the moon
[Am]The moon we love like a [G]brother, while he glows through the room
[section 3]
[C]Dancing around the lies we tell, [C]dancing around big eyes as well
[Am]Even the [G]comatose they don’t dance and tell
[chorus]
[F]We live in cities [Am]you’ll never see on screen
[G]Not very pretty, but we [Em]sure know how [Am]to run things
[F]Living in [Am]ruins of the palace within my [G]dreams
And you know, [Am]we’re on each other’s [F]team
[section 4]
I’m kind of [Am]over getting told to throw my [G]hands up in the air, so there
[C]So all the cups got broke, [C]shards beneath our feet
[Am]But it wasn’t my fault [G]
[C]And everyone’s competing [C]for a love they won’t [Am]receive
‘Cause what this [G]palace wants is release
[chorus]
[F]We live in cities [Am]you’ll never see on screen
[G]Not very pretty, but we [Em]sure know how [Am]to run things
[F]Living in [Am]ruins of the palace within my [G]dreams
And you know, we’re on each other’s [F]team
[section 5]
[F]I’m kind of [Am]over getting told to throw my [G]hands up in the air
So there,
[F]I’m kinda [Am]older than I was when I [G]revelled without a care
So there…
[chorus]
[F]We live in cities [Am]you’ll never see on screen
[G]Not very pretty, but we [Em]sure know how [Am]to run things
[F]Living in [Am]ruins of the palace within my [G]dreams
And you know, we’re on each other’s [F]team
[Closing]
[F] [Am]And you know, we’re on each [G]other’s team
We’re on each other’s [F] [Am]team
We’re on each other’s [G]team
And you know, and you know, and you [F]know
