Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][D][A][Em][E][D][A]
[E][D][A]
[Em]You have [D]to laugh [Dm]a lot

[Verse 1]
[D]
[Em]At what we throw away [D]that
[Dm]half the Earth's [E]not got
[Em]And who's in charg[D]e
[Em]When there's barbed- wire fences
'round [D]the graveyards?[Em]

[Verse 2]
And [Em]I kn[D]ow it's about ti[Em]me
[D]We got[Em] to the [D]point we've been denying
[A]Maligning[D] pro[Em]blems of the[D] world is [Dm]fine
[D]But I can't [Em]keep talking when[A]
it's [D]running through my mind
[B]So

[Verse 3]
[F#]I've got the feeling [B]and [F#]you've got the feeling,
I guess
It's on the tips of our tongues,
it's at [E]the base of [B]our breath
[A]But though the night is you[B]ng it
will grow up before [F#]too long
[F#m]So say yes[A] before we tal[B]k, talk,

[Interlude 1]
talk it to death
[E][D][A][E][D][A]
[E]
[Em]Beneath the sew[D]ers there's stone

[Verse 4]
[D]
Beneath [Em]the stone there's the wa
[D]ter which we pipe into our [Em]homes
So [E]when the [Em]rich mock
[D]what's below them
[Em]They mock the whiskey and the [D]beer
and every burgundy they [Em]own

[Verse 5]
And I [Em]know now who's [A]in love [D]with you
[Em]So l[D]et's s[Em]top the conversation a[A]nd see[D]
I don't [Em]want you to think [A]or [D]hesit[Dm]ate
[D]When I decla[Em]re that who to [A]be me[D]
[A]So[F#]

[Verse 6]
I've got [E]the feeling [B]and
[F#]you've got the feel[E]ing, I guess
[F#]It's on the [E]tips of our tongues,
[F#]it's at the base of our breath
[A]But though the night is you[B]ng it
will grow up before [F#m]too long
[F#]So s[F#m]ay yes[A] before we t[B]alk, talk,
talk it to [E]death[D][A][E][D][A]

[Interlude 2]
Before we talk it to death
[E][D][A][E][A]

[Verse 7]
[B]Okay girl, we both know
[A]Outside this room there's
boardrooms of creeps
Calling fam[B]ine kids cannibals
and killing for cameras
[F#m]But tonight,[B] it's right
And forgive [A]me for noticing
you're wearing a dress
So [B]let's not talk this to death
[F#m]

[Interlude 3]
[E][A]
[E][A][E][D][A]
[E][A]

[Verse 8]
Now [Em]I'm stuffing c[B]oins into [A]a meter
And I'm [Em]cold and I'm bored
and I've [Dm]wasted all my [D]food
[Dm]My m[B]ind is r[Em]otting while[E]
my [D]eyes [B]are glued[D]
To the last few minutes of
the flickering [A]tube

[Verse 9]
And we [Em]know thing[D]s get r[A]epeated
So [Em]no one gives themse[A]lves away
[Em]We try to [A]disguise our feelings
[D]But we [A]just tal[Em]k them all completely awa[A]y

[Verse 10]
So [F#]I've got [E]the feeling [B]and [F#]you've got the feeling,
[E]I guess
[F#]It's on the tips of our [E]tong[F#]ues,
it's at the base of our breath
[A]But though the night is you[B]ng it
will grow up before [F#]too long
So say [A]yes before we [B]talk, talk,
talk it to death
[E][Em][D]

[Verse 11]
Talk it to [Em]death[D]
Talk it to [Em]death[D]
Mmm, talk it [Em]to death[D]
[Em]Talk [D]it [Em]to d[D]eath
[Em][D][Em][D]

[Verse 12]
Talk, [Em]talk,[D][C][B]
[Bm]talk,
[Em]talk

[Outro 1]
[D][C][B][Em]
