Everybody Wants To Get To Heaven But Nobody Wants To Die
F                           C                      Dm                   Gm
If I'm down in the dumps tonight, well it's not because of you
F                             C              Dm                            Gm
Try to look at life objectively, yeah but what good does it do
F                               C                Dm                           Gm                    
You reached for the telephone, I was out at work in some dance hall
F                        C                Dm                                      Gm
You can't have everything, sometimes you can't have anything at all

F                               C                     Gm             Dm
Everybody wants to get to heaven but nobody wants to die
F                               C                     Gm             Dm
Everybody wants to get to heaven but nobody wants to die

Felt the heat in my cheeks, went to sleep dreaming of her
Daylight began easing through my window, like a whisper
A conspiratal glance, an untroubled voice, a contrivance
You don't return my calls anymore, my saviour or my successor

Everybody wants to get to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to get to heaven but nobody wants to die

Cries of the night, the times we used to sleep together
Guess I was indignant, grow clumsy at your girlish pleasure
I've quietened down a bit, doesn't mean I like the idea at all
Desperate as I am, my miserable state is just comical

Everybody wants to get to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to get to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to get to heaven but nobody wants to die
Everybody wants to get to heaven but nobody wants to die

Everybody get to heaven
Everybody's gettin' to heaven
Everybody get to heaven

If You Don't Want My Love
F#m                           E
I don't expect you to do anything
C#m                    A                          E
Just answer the telephone when I ring
E                                        F#m                                    
My sense of humour was diminishing
A
Send love COD

Chorus:
E                               C#m
If you don't want my love
C#m
I'll get drunk and melancholy
E                                C#m
If you don't want my love
C#m
The bottle's been a good friend to me

Who have you been sleeping with, keeping company
Mathematics might make sense, but not to me
There's no guarantee, that my sparkling repartee
Might be full of irony but you might disagree

Chorus (x2)

Oh girl you're just twenty one
So pretty so cynical for one so young
I've been thinking child
It's you not the traffic
That's been making me feel faint
Yeah so sarcastic
It simple as ABC
Send love COD

Chorus (x4)

When Trouble Comes
Interesting rhythm this one.

A                                            F#m
What fools we make of each other
A                                            F#m
At the end of the world, at the close of the day
A                                            F#m
I don't believe all this nonsense
A                                            F#m
The loaded words that ricochet

Chorus:
C#m                          F#m (B?)
And when I open my eyes
C#m               F#m
Conscious of sin
C#m               F#m
It's not a betrayal
                     E
It's a blessing
EAEAEAEA????
When trouble comes
When trouble comes

Two idiots in an act of defiance
My lover and I, seems like years ago
Things happen quickly, sometimes not at all
It's sideshow, it's touch and go

Chorus

When trouble comes
When trouble comes

A                  E
Yeah when trouble comes
F#m                         A
Everybody's gonna run
F#m            E
Yeah when trouble comes
F#m                
Turn and walk away
A
Put it off to another day

Where Are You Going
        E                         F#m
You cornered me at a party
          A             E
I was so nervous
       E                      F#m
The flowers on the wallpaper
                    A                         E
Matched the flowers on your dress
   F#m                        
I had it now I've lost it
     A
I'll see it gets back to you
  F#m
You say you don't need me
       A                     B
And maybe that's true

Chorus:
E                       B
Where are you going?
         A                    E
Can I come for the ride?
E                        B
Wherever you're going
              A                         E
I want to be there at your side

When you think you've had enough
Of being such a wise guy
Well search for knowledge is a search
For love to modify
I had it now I lost it
I'll see it gets back to you
Well you alone remained constant
Everyone else just withdrew

Chorus

And I said don't cry baby
Crying won't do any good
You can blame this or that
Say you're misunderstood

You can say anything you like

I had it now I lost it
I'll see it gets back to you
Well you say you don't need me
Yeah maybe that is true

Chorus (x2)

She Set Fire To The House
D          
I pushed the button
              G
Somebody opened the door
D
Her name was Monika
                G
And Monika was mine ever more
D
She said I can't be held responsible
G
For all the guilt in this world
D                                          G
Seven years is enough for any boy or girl

Chorus:
D                   C       G        C
She set fire to the house
D                                         C G              C
And watched it burn down to the ground

D
The house was in darkness
G
Monika made me insist
D
If you want to stay that's alright
G
But it's at your own risk
D
Keep your mouth shut
G
Keep it bottled up inside your head
D
Love is disappeared
G
Love is vanished all hope is dead

Chorus (x2)

A
Pretty flames
A                                G#
Illuminated the night
G                                               G#
Monika's face was snow white
A                                                 
If she was ever unfaithful to me
G#   G
Well I didn't notice
G
Especially

There are murders
That aren't murders
And they happen every single day
We break our promises
We find it hard to break away
Only Monika she left first
And in that cold clear dawn light
An empty can of kerosene
Helped that house of love burn down so bright

Chorus (x4)

Watched it burn down to the ground
