[A] [Dm]
[A]
When we first met [Dm] I didn't know [A] what to do
All of the lines were all [Dm] worn out [A] on you
[D] And the [F#m] love was [Bm] round my mouth
[A] You lit me up
[E] Snuffed [A] me out I
[E] [A] Everybody's bought [D] but [F#m] soon that thrill [Bm] just fades
And [Dm] to be [E] the lover [A] one to hide
Are the drag [E] of our [A] race
[Dm] [A]
[Dm] [A] Won't know who to thank
[Dm] Won't know who [A] to blame
It's just a part [Dm] [A] Murdering game
Cause down in the flesh spots
[Dm] Where they pay you [A] in pounds
They're laughing like trains
And banging like mudhounds
To [D] the drag [F#] of [Bm] our [B] race
For [A] the drag [E] of our [A] race
[D] I'll send you a gallon
So [Dm] much like a yearly gallon
[A] But it won't stop you if it many
[D]
And everybody's playing
[Dm] Till you've got the [A] drag
Got the [E] drag
Everybody's got the drag
[A]
For the drag
Got [Dm] the drag of our [B] race
[A]
For the drag
[E] Got the drag of our [A]
race
[Dm] Well [A]
[Dm] [A]
the way that I feel
Is [Dm] no [A] longer use
You know my love
[Dm] How [A] to refuse it
Cause you know where the door is
[Dm] And [A] how to use it
[D] [F#m] Oh no [Bm] you do
[A] Well my ticket past
[Dm] Is shattered [A] terrace
You can't keep your mind up
[Dm] With crime [A] in Paris
And you can't keep your peace
[Dm] Try [A] to forget it
I can't forgive you
For [Dm] the [A] things you haven't done yet I
[E] Can't [A] afford it's bought
[D] But soon [F#m] it will [Bm] just face
[Dm] To be [E] the lover
[A] Once [D] you are
[A] A drag [E] of our [A] race
We first met
[Dm] I didn't [A] know what to do
My all of the lines
Were [Dm] all worn out [A] on you
[D]
[Bm] Round my mouth
[A] I didn't mean to say it
Just [E] let [A] it out
You [D] pretended not to notice
[F#m] I'll be taking it [E] back
I [A] loved you there and [E] then
Simple [A] as that I
[E] Can't [A] afford it's bought
[D] But soon [F#m] it will [Bm] just face
[Dm] To [E] be the lover
[A] Once [D] you are
A [A] [E] drag of our [A] race
To [E] be the [A] lover
Once [D] you are
[A] A drag [E] of [F#m] our race
[A] Oh a drag [E] of [A] our race
