Ivory Tower Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Pin the bunting on the g[A]allows
Dance around it [Dm]with [Am]your blackface on
And we [A]all made a vacuum,
[Dm]we a[A]ll made a vacuum f[Dm]or th[Am]is
Throw your keys into the [A]water
Come and [Dm]crush me in a
[Am]Waitrose aisle
You [A]can strain till your tongue [Dm]splits
Pounding me under your fist
[Am][A][Am]

[Verse 2]
[F]We didn't think that it would
happen and we never will
[Dm]We didn't think that it would
happen and we never [A]will
Yeah I can think of nothing else but this,
but this [Am]machine
I can think of nothing else but this,
but this ma[F]chine

[Verse 3]
[Dm]I'm in my ivory tower,[Am]
I'm in my [F]ivory ivory I'm in my I'm in my ivory ivory [Dm]I'm in
[A]I'm in my ivory tower,
I'm in [Dm]my ivory
Hey they [C]did [F]enjoy
unscrambling the brain
Of just a man
He [E]didn't [Dm]even [A]think of anything
They [Dm]did n't even think of it
All I learned from [F]this
[C]Was how[F] much I could hate
the state we're in
You'll [E]find me [Dm]in my t[A]ower
[Dm]Do you know what makes me

[Verse 4]
[Dm]
[A]happy?
When I clothe you [Dm]in a
[Am]swarm of [F]bees[Dm]
And [Am]the [Dm]world is my ashtray,
the world is my ashtray [Am]tonight
Shave my head and call me [A]monkey
Let me see you [Dm]with the [A]CAPS [Am]LOCK on
If we're [A]all apoplectic [Dm]then [Am]I'll be
[Dm]the nitpick alright
[A][Am][F]

[Verse 5]
We didn't think that it would
happen and we never [Dm]will
We didn't think that it would
happen and we never will
[A]Yeah I can think of nothing else but this,
but this [Am]machine
I can think of nothing else but this,
