-intro-
basically just play F

got to get on it

got to get on it

got to get on it

-verse 1-
bodies disengage
our mouths are fleshing over
as hiss and echo gain
irises retreat into ovals of white
the urge to feel your face
in blood, rushing to paint
my hand print
and frisbee one by one
your vinyl on laminate
I’m desperate for some kind of contact

-chorus-
first train home, I’ve got to get on it
first train home, I’ve got to get on it
first train home, I’ve got to get on it
first train home, I’ve got to get on it
first train home, I’ve got to get on it
got to catch, to catch, to catch, catch
catch the first train home, I’ve got to get on it
first train home, I’ve got to get on it
first train home, ive got to get on it
first train home—

-verse 2-
temporal dead zone
where clocks are barely breathing
yet no one cares to notice
for all their yamming on, i clam up
to hold it together
i want to play do wave forms in the hide away
i want to get on with getting on with things
i want to run in fields,
paint the kitchen, love someone
and i cant do any of that here can i?

-chorus-
first train home, I’ve got to get on it

first train home, I’ve got to get on it

first train home, I’ve got to get on it

-bridge-
first train home….
so what…
you’ve had one to many
so what…
I’m not that much fun to be with
so what…
you’ve got a silly hat on
so what
i didnt want to come here anyway
what maters to you
doesnt matter, matter to me
what matters to me

doesnt matter, matter to you

what matters to you,

doesnt matter, matter to them

it doesnt change anything

got to get on it…
first train home…
got to get on it…

first train home
first train home, I’ve got to get on it….
first train home…
got to get on it…
first train home

(palm mute F the whole thing)
to go, to go ,to go,

to get, to get,

get, get ,get ,get,

out, out, out, out,

now, now, now, now

(Intro)

Say goodnight and go.

(Intro)

Skipping beats,
Blushing cheeks.
I am... struggling..
Daydreaming,
Bed scenes in… the corner cafe
And then I’m left in bits recovering tectonic… tremblings
You get me every time.

Chorus:

Why’d ya have to be so cute?
It’s impossible to ignore you..
Must you make me laugh so much?
It’s bad enough we get along so well..
Say goodnight and go.

Follow you home,
You’ve got your headphones on
And you’re dancing
Got lucky; Beautiful shot:
You’re taking everything off
Watch the curtains wide open
And you’re following the same routine;
Flicking through the TV, relaxed and reclining
And you think you’re alone..

Chorus:
Why’d ya have to be so cute?
It’s impossible to ignore you..
Must you make me laugh so much?
It’s bad enough we get along so well..
Say goodnight and go.

One of these days,
You’ll miss your train,
And come stay with me…

We’ll have drinks,
And talk about things and,
Any excuse to stay awake with you…
You’d sleep here,
I’d sleep there,
But then the heating may be down again,
At my convenience…
We’d be good,
We’d be great together…

Go (sigh)

Chorus:

Why’d ya have to be so cute?
It’s impossible to ignore you..
Must you make me laugh so much?
It’s bad enough we get along so well..
Say goodnight and go.

Why’s it always always:
goodnight and go?
Oh, Darling not again,
Goodnight and… go…

I could have tabbed the crazy riffs the guy plays to fill in some gaps, but it’s mostly
strings within the same chord, so it should be easy to figure out.

Enjoy!

C (strum from now on)
You know you’re better than this.

Verse:
We’re a different pair, do something out of step.

Am C (C)
Throw a stranger an unexpected smile

With big intention, still posted at your station.

Am C (C)
Always on about the day it should have fled.

You say too late to start, got your heart in a headlock,

C (C)
I don’t believe any of it.

You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,

C (C)
You know you’re better than this.

I don’t believe any of it.

You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,

C (C)
You know you’re better than this.

Verse:
I’ve been walking, you’ve been hiding,

Am C (C)
And you look half dead half the time.

Monitoring you, like machines do,

Am C (C)
You’ve still got it, I’m just keeping an eye

I’ve been walking, you’ve been hiding,

Am C (C)
And you look half dead half the time.

Monitoring you, like machines do,

Am C (C)
You’ve still got it, I’m just keeping an eye

Chorus:
So what, don’t care, will not, the end

You know you’re better than this

I don’t believe any of it.

C (C)
I don’t believe any of it.

You say too late to start, with your heart in a headlock,

C (C)
You know you’re better than this.

Note, you can end the song with whatever chord, for a mysterious, keep it on a C chord,
for more mystery, change to an Am chord, for a finished chord to really close the song,
end in an Em chord. For a very open ending, end in the C chord listed at the top. Hope
this helps and good luck with your playing!

Also note, the chord in parenthesis (C) is an optional chord to be played, though that
is the beat to play it on, work with skipping and adding the chord where you personally
like it best.

If any mistakes, please leave a comment with the error and correction! Thanks and happy playing!

[Refrain]

Gently as we go, gently as we go
Steady as we go, steady as we go

[Verse 1]

I can sense in opening the front door as we came in
You were burning a hole in my back
Can we turn this around from where we lost you in the evening
Before things get out of hand

One by one eyes go optic, we’re becoming the beast
Shear power and the heat of hate brings our army of two to its knees
Steel lungs are shouting the house down, going for the kill from the kiss
Battle stations are now navigation, have we driven love to this?

[Refrain]

Gently as we go, gently as we go
Steady as we go, steady as we go

[Verse 2]

All fired up, you’re a hot mess getting messier
I’d do anything for sleep
But I can think of far better ways to waste your energy
If you can bare to still touch me

One by one skin hardens, we’re becoming the beast
Shear power and the heat of hate brings our army of two to its knees
Steel lungs are shouting the house down, going for the kill from the kiss
Battle stations are now navigation, have we driven love to this?

Have we left, have we left the building?
Did we die a little death?
Is this the end of the road for us, no more bridges for us to burn left?
Do we finally find ourselves at the point of no return?

One by one, we’re becoming the beast
Shear power and the heat of hate brings our army to its knees
Steel lungs are shouting the house down, going for the kill from the kiss
Battle stations are now navigation, have we driven love to this?

[Refrain]

Gently as we go, gently as we go
Steady as we go, steady as we go

Verse 1:
She pops into the bathroom
Just after a shower and
She plays with my makeup and creams
Keeps trying to look like me

And goes through the motions
Posing this way and that,
Holding it in,
If it makes you feel better, then knock yourself out

Chorus:
Say hi there to my bad body double
This is my bad body double trouble
Oh no, my bad body double, mmmhm
I’ve got bad body double trouble, oh.

She’s trouble
She’s trouble
She’s trouble, alright.

Yeah, yeah

Verse 2:
Sometimes I manage to lose her
Shake her at a bar, in the gym for five minutes
It feels so good to be back to my own self again
Can get quite confusing.

We look very similar except she’s got some grays and
a little extra weight on the sides
And dimply thighs,
I hear that stuff’s a bch to get rid off
(No, no, no, no)

We’re having quite an intimate, personal moment (not now)
Could you maybe come at a slightly less awful time? (not now)
She can see I’ve got someone quite nice here with me
Can’t we just be left alone…
I guess that’s a no then
Seeing as you’re still here

Chorus:
It's not me, no
it’s my bad body double
I got bad body double trouble
Oh no, my bad body double, mmmhm
I’ve got bad body double trouble, agh.
Bad body double, mmhm.
I’ve got bad body double trouble
Oh dear, my bad body double.
I got bad body double trouble.

She’s trouble
She’s trouble
She’s trouble, alright.
Yeah, yeah, yeah
She’s trouble
She’s trouble
She’s trouble, alright.
Yeah, yeah, right there.

Can’t shake her, Can’t shake her, Can’t shake her, Can’t shake her
Everywhere I go, Everywhere I go, goooo
Can’t shake her, Can’t shake her, Can’t shake her, Can’t shake her
Everywhere I go, Everywhere I go, goooo

Say hi there,
to my bad body double
My bad, bad, bad body double.
She’s trouble
I can’t shake her
And I hate her, I hate her, I hate her, I hate her, I hate her.
She’s everywhere I go,

I’m going to get rid
of you once and for all…
