intro : G C G C

C G C G
they’re holding a committee of treason and lies
C G D G
double speak and sedition then somebody dies
C G C G
from the hills the smell of lilacs then the repeat of guns
C G D G
when she closes the window and draws the blinds her first touch sucks the air from my lungs

C G C G
hey blue eyes , what you doing tonight
C G D G
hey blue eyes , it’s alright

C G C G
she says , “in this house we’ve abandoned history , in this house there are no laws
C G D G
just the false taste of paradise and then the fall
C G C G
in this house the guilty go unpunished and blood and silence prevail
C G D G
here the dead remain nameless , the nameless remain jailed”

C G C G
hey blue eyes , what you doing tonight
C G D G
hey blue eyes , it’s alright

C G C G
in this house there’s just the dust of bones , the basement’s filled with liars
C G D G
in this house our sons and daughters are spilled like wine
C G C G
so come close my pretty darling and let me feel your disease
C G D G
tonight i’ll have you naked and crawling at the end of my leash

C G C G
hey blue eyes , what you doing tonight
C G D G
hey blue eyes , it’s alright

C G C G

C G C G
she says , “in this house it’s so easy to set a world on fire
C G D G
all you need is the need and the money and a soul full of reckless desire
C G C G
upstairs the landlord is dining here with his criminal friends
C G D G
don’t worry , they’ll have the bags packed and be long gone before the real fxxking begins”

C G C G
hey blue eyes , what you doing tonight
C G D G
hey blue eyes , it’s alright
C G C G
hey blue eyes , what you doing tonight
C G D G
hey blue eyes , it’s alright
