Flesh And Blood

Ryan O'Reilly


Tom: Em

          Em                  G
Satirical murders, driverless cars
          C/G               D
take this test find who you are
       Em                G
sex in public, death on TV
        C/G                  D
buy the package and you'll believe
             Em                G
in corporate porn, you have no choice
         C/G             D
it's not Ibsen, it's not Joyce
         Em         G
just say no, it's a crime
          C/G           D
until you say yes every time

[Chorus]
    C/G             Em
And she said all my love for her
        D          C/G
is just when atoms collide
       C/G           Em
like a map of London spilt from milk
     D              C/G
that replicates the tide

[Verse]
         Em              G
Cash for access, hostage fears
           C/G                D
freedom of speech, speechless tears
           Em               G
industrial meltdown, online dates
        C/G            D
eastern girls in cargo freights
          Em          G
important lies, jhadi brides
      C/G                D
royal bloodlines, rising tides
   Em                  G
US drones, the markets crash
        C/G                D
soulles clones, islands of trash

[Chorus]
    C/G          Em
And I still only love one girl
              D            C/G
and that's as stupid as it seems
        C/G           Em
because people die or they move on
            D              C/G
and she has nothing that I need

[Verse]
         Em                  G
Suburban schooling have your say
                  C/G               D
they'll teach you different, if you pay
            Em              G
I know that we are all born equal
         C/G           D
but that changes right away
              Em                  G
I can't speak Latin, won't sit up straight
              C/G              D
I wish they'd told me it's too late
     Em                G
I maybe would have had ideas
           C/G              D
but no one has asked me for years

[Chorus]
        C/G      Em
Because unlike a few, who knew
           D               C/G
that their life was always free
      C/G           Em
I was put in, I was spat out
          D             C/G
consuming nightmares on TV

[Verse]
            Em                G
Driving too fast, high school crush
     C/G                 D
big ideas ground down to dust
        Em                     G
I'm not listening, what do you mean
     C/G       D
everyone has ADD
      Em                G
ban Religion, it causes war
           C/G                   D
except for most, and the biggest four
           Em                G
I care too much, don't care enough
        C/G                   D
I can't change now, change is tough

[Chorus]
C/G               Em               D          C/G
All I ever really wanted back when I was seventeen
      C/G               Em              D                  C/G
was a few things I feel guilty for, how pointless they now seem
C/G               Em            D                C/G
all I ever really wanted, all I ever thought was true
        C/G                 Em
was the flesh and blood and skin and bone
       D                     C/G
that's wrapped around what's you
