[VERSE 1]
I[G] impersonate the [D]iron age, while[C] you the age o[G]f gold
We l[G]earn upon a tight[D] rope in deli[C]rium and g[Em]race
We a[G]re street children, we are urc[D]hins
We l[C]ove drinking from the we[G]ll
Tan[G]gled in each other, on the marb[D]le floor
Kee[Em]ping the peace by preparing [D]for wa[G]r
[VERSE 2]
[G]Well I smoked my recommenda[D]tions in the nam[C]e of our dormant dre[G]am
[G]You sold the last of the Chi[D]nese ink to a pri[C]est who then married a que[G]en
[G]Wrap me up, [D]women's clothing for to keep the c[C]old at b[G]ay
[G]The laughter kept us warm, drawing [D]maps upon the floor
[Em]Keeping the peace by prep[Em]aring for[D] war
[G]Waho
[CHORUS]
[G]Let's hear some n[Em]oise for a t[G]uned in girl and[Em] boy
I[G]n the echos of the ha[Em]ndball alley when the a[D]ir is but a pregnant bre[C]ath
N[Em]o I won't pay rent, I'm giving Y[D]ou up for lent
No[Em] I won't pay rent, I'm giving Y[D]ou up for lent
But[Em] your whistling still remains in my ear [D]
[VERSE 3]
I[G] kneel in the name of not k[D]nowing, then we spr[C]int to the empty muse[G]um
Y[G]ou are covered in expectat[D]ion while I get c[C]overed in mud[Em]
O[G]h I ask the moon for some [D]counceling but she[C] said oh she wasn't su[Em]re
[G]So I swam out to shallower w[D]aters
K[Em]eeping the peace by prep[D]aring for war
[VERSE 4]
[G]I light a candle for saf[D]e passage
[C]Then we head to the fres[G]hers ball
[G]Dressed in clothes, ancien[D]t Persian
[C]We had stolen from saint Vincent de[Em] paul
W[G]e agreed if we were to[D] marry we'd build that ho[C]use with an orange do[G]or
I[G]nk these words on ou[D]r body; keep the pe[C]ace by preparing [Em]for war[D]
W[G]aho
[CHORUS]
[G]Let's hear some n[Em]oise for a t[G]uned in girl and[Em] boy
I[G]n the echos of the ha[Em]ndball alley when the a[D]ir is but a pregnant breath
N[Em]o I won't pay rent, I'm giving Y[D]ou up for lent
No[Em] I won't pay rent, I'm giving Y[D]ou up for lent
B[Em]ut your whistling still remains [D]in my ear
N.C
Sure it's been this way for years
Some whistling at the end
