Gm                         Em7-5
Cash girls suffer me, I've got no enemies
     D#7        Cm7
I'm walking down
     D#7          Cm7
It's nothing to me
      F7
It's nothing to see

If I never see the English evergreens
I'm running to
It's nothing to me
It's nothing to see

Chorus:
    Em
I’m dying to
Em7
Push their backs against the grain
                             F#/E
And fool them all again and again
I’m trying to
We bitches tear our magazines
                                     Em7
Those Oligarchs with foaming mouths phone
Now and then
Don’t believe for just one second that
I’m forgetting you
     A/E
I’m trying to
     F#/E
I’m dying to

Dollar days, survival sex
Honour stretching tails to necks
I’m falling down
It’s nothing to me
It’s nothing to see
If I'll never see the English evergreens
I’m running to
It’s nothing to me
It’s nothing to see

Chorus:
I’m dying to
Push their backs against the grain
And fool them all again and again
I’m trying to
It’s all gone wrong but on and on
The bitter nerve ends never end
I’m falling down
Don’t believe for just one second
I’m forgetting you
I’m trying to
I’m dying to

A
I'm trying to
F#/E        A F#
I'm dying to
A
I'm trying to
F#/E        A F#
I'm dying to

A
I'm trying to
F#/E         A F#
I'm dying to

A
I'm trying to
E
I'm dying to
