Tokyo Storm Warning Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F][Am][F][D]
[Am][D][Am]
Oh, [D]the sky

[Verse 1]
fell over cheap [Am]Korean [D]monster- movie scenery
[Am]And spil[D]led into the mezza[Am]nine of
[D]the crushed capsule [Am]hotel
[G]Between the Disney abattoir
and the chemical refinery
I [Am]knew [D]I was in trouble but[Am]
[D]I thought I was i[Am]n hel[D]l
So you look around the tiny room and
you wonder where the hell you are
[Am]While the [D]K.K.K. convention
[Am]are all [D]stranded in the bar
They wear [G]hoods and carry shotguns in
the main streets of Montgomery
[Am]But they're help[D]less here as babies

[Verse 2]
'cause they're only here on holiday
[D]What do we care if the world is a joke?
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
We'll give it a big kiss,
we'll give it a poke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big
bloke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
[F#]We're only living this [Bm]instant[Am]
[D][C]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Well, the black sand stuck [Am]beneath
[D]her feet in a warm Sorrento sunrise
A barefoot girl from Naples or [Am]was
it [D]a Barcelona hi- rise?
Whistles [G]out the tuneless theme song
of a hundred cheap suggestions
[Am]And a [D]million false seductions a[Am]nd
[D]all those eternal questions

[Verse 4]
Well, [D]what do we care if the world is a
joke? (Tokyo Storm Warning)
Oh, we'll give it a big kiss,
we'll give it a poke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big
bloke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
[F#]We're only living this in[Bm]stant
[D]

[Verse 5]
So they flew the Super- Constella
[Am]tion [D]all the way from Rimini
[Am]And [D]feasted them on fish and chips
[Am]from [D]a newspaper facsimile
Now [G]dead Italian tourist bod
[Am]ies [G]litter up the Broadway
[Am]Some peopl[D]e can't be told, you know they have to learn the
hard [Am]way

[Interlude 1]
[D][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D]

[Verse 6]
[D]Holidays are dirt- cheap [Am]in
the [D]Costa del [Am]Malvinas
[D]In the Hotel Argentina [Am]they [D]can
hardly tell between us
[Am]For [D]Teresa is a waitress,
though she's now known as Juanita
[Am]In a t[D]ango bar in Stanley or[Am]
[D]in Puerto Margarita
She's the [G]sweetest and the sauciest
The loveliest and naughtiest
[Am]She'[D]s Miss Buenos Aires

[Verse 7]
in a world of lacy lingerie
[D]What do we care if the world is a joke?
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
We'll give it a big kiss,
we'll give it a poke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big
bloke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
[F#]We're only living this [Bm]in st[B]ant
[Bm][D]

[Verse 8]
[Am]Japa[C]nese G[D]od,
Jesus ro[Am]bots [D]telling teenage fortunes
For all we know and all we care they
might as well be Martians
[Am]They [D]say gold paint on the palace gates
comes from the teeth of pensioners
They're so tired of shooting
protest singers
That they hardly mention us
While [G]fountains fill with second- hand perfume
and sodden trading [Am]stamps
They'll [D]hang the bullies and the louts
that dampen down the day

[Verse 9]
[D]What do we care if the world is a joke?
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
We'll give it a big kiss,
we'll give it a poke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big
bloke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
[F#]We're only living this in[Bm]stant, [D]hey

[Verse 10]
[D]
We braved the cold November air and
the undertaker's [Am]curses, saying
[D]"Take me to the [Am]Folies Bergères, and
[D]please don't spare the hearses"
[Am]For [D]he always had a dream of t[Am]hat
re[D]volver in your purse
[Am]How you [D]loved him 'till you hated
[Am]him and made[D] him cry for mercy
[Am]He said "d[G]on't ever mention my name th[Am]ere
[G]or talk of all the nights you [Am]cried
We've al[D]ways been like [D]worlds apart,
now you're seeing two nightmares collide"

[Verse 11]
[D]What do we care if the world is a joke?
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
We'll give it a big kiss,
we'll give it a poke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big
bloke (Tokyo Storm Warning)
[F#]We're only living this [Bm]instant,
[D]hey, ow!

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 12]
[D]Ba- ba- ba- ba- ba- ba!
