Intro G C G C Verse 1 G C Clear the corners G Before you go searching C And check the waters G Before you go diving in C That’s quite a house you’re building there G Disguised as pity C I see blood on the welcome mat, G I bet it looks so inviting C Don’t fall for another trick G I’ve gone down that way before C And don’t let the politics G Restrict you anymore C Cause there’s a world somewhere hidden G All around me and you C It’s made of diamonds G So shiny and new Chorus C Look at that opulence, G There’s a party in hell tonight Am And there goes the ambulance, G The guests are arriving Verse 2 C Now how will you act G If nobody’s watching? C And what will you say G If the whole world is listening? C It’s like a difference of language G When we’re not speaking C You’ll say almost anything G To try and belong C Now I’m staring out my window G To a building across the street C I guess you’d call that window-shopping G For a bit of experience C I see a shape on a balcony G She’s flailing her arms around C She could be everything to someone G She could be nothing to no one Chorus 2 C But she’s some kind of opulence G For my imagination Am And she fills the silence G Between every sentence Verse 3 C Now the city is so quiet G For a Saturday night C And we’re stumbling and slurring G Slouching toward home C He’s always lost in thought G With the help of some chemicals C While I’m feeling nostalgic G For a time I’ve never known C We’re all clinging onto something G But she’s learning to let go C While they’re crying and dancing G A hundred floors below C So keep the music loud G There’s a war on the streets tonight C And the coast is on fire G It looks so f*cking beautiful Chorus 3 C We’re drowning in our opulence G There’s a party in our graves tonight Am Somebody call the ambulance G We’re gonna need a ride C We’re drowning in our opulence G There’s a party in hell tonight C Here comes the ambulance G The guests are arriving C G The guests are arriving
