KEY OF F


 5  5     5     5   5   5  5   5   5    5    5
Sa-ra spelled with-out an ‘h’ was get-ting bored

 5 5  5   5   5   5   5    5    5   5   5
On a pea-vey amp in nine-teen eigh-ty four

  -5   -5  -5  -5 -5  -7   -7   -6
While zak with-out a ‘c’ tried out 

 -5   -5  -5  6
some new gui-tars

 -5  -5  -5 -5  -7  -6 -6 -5 -5   -5    6
Play-ing sa-ra with no ‘h-s fav-‘rite song

(CHORUS)

Zak and sa-ra

 5  5   5  5   5     5     5
Of-ten sa-ra would have spells 

  4    5    5    5   5   5   5   5  5
where she lost time she saw the fu-ture, 

 5    5     5   5   5   5   5
she heard voic-es from in-side

 -5  -5  -5  -5  -5  -7   -7   -6   
The kind of voic-es she would soon 

  -5  -5 -5 -6b
learn to de-ny

-5   -5  -5  -5   -5   -7  -7   -6
Be-cause at home they got her smacked

(CHORUS)

VERSE 2

 5    -5    5  -6b 5  -5  -5 -5b 5   -5b
Zak called his dad a-bout lay-a-way plans

-5 -6b -6   -7    -6  -5   5    -5  -6b
Sa-ra told the friend-ly sales-man that

  -6b   -6b -6b -5b -5b  -6b
“you’ll all die in your cars,

-6b  -6b -6b -6b -6b -6b -6
And why’s it got-ta  be dark?

 -6   -6   -6   -7  -6 -6 -6 7  -8  -8
And you’re all work-in in a sub-ma-rine

  7   -7
(ass-hole)


VERSE 3

 5   5   5     5     
She saw the lights, 

 5   5  5   5   4    5    5 
she saw a pale eng-lish face

  5     5      5    5   4  5    5
Some strange mach-ines re-peat-ing 

   5   4    5    5    5
beats and thump-ing bass

-5  -5  -5   -5   -5  -7  -7
Vi-sions of pills to put you 

-6 -5 -5  -5   -6b
in a lov-ing trance

 -5   -5  -5  -5 -5  -7  -7  -6
That make it pos-si-ble for all 

  -5   -5   5  -6b
white boys to dance

 -5  -5   -5 -5   -5   -7  -7   -6
And when Zak fi-nished sa-ra’s song, 

-5 -5   -6b
sa-ra clapped

(CHORUS TO END)
