[Verse 1]
Em                                      Dsus2                    Am  C
There's a flood on the street, there's a tide and it's coming in now
          Em          Dsus2                  Am  C
Yet the concrete burns at the back of your skull
         Em             Dsus2                           Am  C
And they say it's a wave but it feels like a dribbling mouth
           Em               Dsus2                Am  C
There's a light bulb flicker but it never goes on
Em       Dsus2               Am      C
Yes, the bomb may be falling, if it lands where you're stood
Em     Dsus2                 Am        C
Man, I know it's a real big shame about your neighbourhood
Em  Dsus2                   Am       C
I'm the wrong kind of people, why'd you listen to me?
Em   Dsus2                  Am         C
Just the island a-breathing in and out and


[Pre-Chorus]
          Am   C    Em Dsus2
It was a long time coming
          Am   C    Em Dsus2
It was a long time coming


[Chorus]
           C Em G
It's coming
C
Shame about your neighbourhood
           C Em G
It's coming
C
Shame about your neighbourhood


[Verse 2]
Em                Dsus2                         Am        C
There's a car overturned and it isn't stopping any time soon
Em                 Dsus2                    Am  C
But the front seat sure beats lickin' some toads
Em                      Dsus2                Am        C
And the sparks make the dark uncanny like a living cartoon
Em                   Dsus2                     Am   C
What the hell do you mean when you talk about roads?
Em       Dsus2               Am      C
Yes, the bomb may be falling, if it lands where you're stood
Em     Dsus2                 Am        C
Man, I know it's a real big shame about your neighbourhood
Em  Dsus2                   Am       C
I'm the wrong kind of people, why'd you listen to me?
Em   Dsus2                  Am         C
Just the island a-breathing in and out and


[Pre-Chorus]
          Am   C    Em Dsus2
It was a long time coming
          Am   C    Em Dsus2
It was a long time coming
C
Shame about your neighbourhood

[Bridge]
Am  C                Em7
    Hold me on this night of the long knives
Am  C                Em7
    Hold me on this night of the long knives
Am     G               C
      I've been dying all my life
Dsus2  G               C
      I've been dying all my life
Dsus2  G               C
      I've been dying all my life
Dsus2  G               C
      I've been dying all my life
