Death On The Stairs Chords

DEATH ON THE STAIRS

A#
From way far across the sea
F
Came an eritsean maiden she
GM
Had a one track mind and eyes for me
GM
Half blinded in the war
CM
With a pale young anglican
F
Who said he'd help her all he can
A#                                          D#
Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend
CM
She had no mind to please him
F                               A#
Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind

There's a little boy in a stairwell who say
"I hate people like you"
Got matches & cable TV half of less than 50p
We all clambered over the balcony
Banging on the window waking steve
Bringing with a new love his un-holy friend
If you really need it you mustn't leave it behind
A#                D#
Please kill me no don't kill me
F
But don't bring that ghost round to my door

I don't wanna see them anymore

A#                D#
Please kill me no don't kill me
F
But don't bang on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway


Monkey asked the mouse before
If she loved anybody more than he
It turns you into stone
Now i'm reversing down this lonely street
To a cheap hotel when i can meet the past
And pay it off and keep it sweet
It's sweet like nothing at all
Yes i've seen you there how could i help but stare
It rips the heart out off your body
Now i've taken far too much to think
Or see or touch what's real i'm stranded on this street that
Paved my only way home
You really need it you just won't leave it behind
He got nothing he got nothing at all
