Boston Manor – Laika chords

[Intro]
Cm  Gm  Ab  Eb


[Verse 1]
     CmThey say the truth's your best defence
    GmI'm bleeding just to pay the rent
    AbAnd broken dreams mean nothing
              EbWhen you need something

Just to get you through the year


[Verse 2]
Cm  And now we're moving out
   GmSo pack your clothes, your books, your doubt
    AbAnd bring the piece of paper
       EbThat I gave you, back when you were all alone


[Pre-chorus 1]
Cm              Gm                  Ab   Letters sent home with no return address
                       EbI've got a bag full of old clothes
           AbI've got a bag full of stress


[Chorus 1]
Cm   Ab     Eb              Cm       Ab             I'm so sorry that I'm leaving
       EbYou so little to believe in


Cm  Gm  Ab  Eb


[Verse 3]
                Cm'Cause we had a house
                          GmWith a perfect door and a front room

With the right decor
      AbAnd I came and wrecked it all
       Eb                  GmYes, I came and wrecked it all like I always do


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cm                              Gm                             'Cause I didn't think and I poured your life down the kitchen sink
         AbWith the dregs of yesterday
        EbAnd now I'm going to be late


[Chorus 2]
    CmI'm sorry
Ab     Eb             Cm          AbI'm so sorry that I'm leaving
       Eb You so little to believe in
Cm               Ab                Eb     Just tell me, that you're free, of your woes and of me
Cm   Ab           Eb          There's weather more reliable than me


[Bridge]
Eb   I'm calling base command as the last bit of oxygen runs out but
NC
They're down there softly sleeping

The sun sets over the Pacific region
Eb  I'm sitting here hanging in the balance
NC
Just barely in the atmosphere
NC
I'm sitting here hanging in the balance

Just barely in the atmosphere


[Chorus 2]
Cm   Ab     Eb              Cm       Ab             I'm so sorry that I'm leaving
       EbYou so little to believe in
Cm               Ab                Eb     Just tell me, that you're free, of your woes and of me
Cm   Ab           Eb          There's weather more reliable than me


[Outro]
Cm     Ab        Eb    As lonely as Laika
Up there all alone
Cm             Ab  You miss the atmosphere
    EbThe stars are now your home
