[Intro]
| C A#5 A5 | C A#5 A5 | C A#5 A5 | G E5 |
| Am          | C              | G             |

[Verse 1]
Am                             F
  So they say you're troubled, boy
Am                        F
Just because you like to destroy
Am                                           F
All the things that bring the idiots joy
      G                                   E5
Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?
Am                                 F
   And the Kunst won't talk to you
Am                                F
'Cause you kissed St Rollox adieu
Am                                  F
'Cause you robbed a supermarket or two
                 G                                       E5
Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?

[Pre-Chorus]
C                           A#5   A5
Did I see you in a limousine?
C                                         A#5   A5
Fling out the fish and the unleavened?
               C                                A#5               A5
Turn the rich into wine as you walk on the mean

[Chorus]
             G                          Am
Well, the fallen are the virtuous among us
           C                          G
Walk among us, never judge us
                        (Am)
Yeah, we're all blessed

[Interlude]
| Am F | Am F | Am F | G E5 |

[Verse 2]
Am                            F
   So we stole and drank champagne
              Am                                      F
On the seventh seal, you said you never feel pain
    Am                                     F
"I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"
     G                                              E5
"I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation"
Am                                 F
   In my blood, I felt bubbles burst
                    Am                        F
There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst
              Am                         F
You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt
  G                            E5
I fall to the floor, fainting at the sight of blood

[Pre-Chorus]
C                            A#5   A5
Did I see you in a limousine?
C                                         A#5    A5
Fling out the fish and the unleavened?
                      C                      A#5              A5
You turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean
               C                                         A#5       A5
Be they Magdalene or virgin, you've already been
           C                                       A#5     A5
You've already been, and we've already seen

[Chorus]
                 G                     Am
Well, the fallen are the virtuous among us
           C                         G
Walk among us, never judge us
              C
To be blessed

[Bridge]
G              C
La, la-la-la
G              Dm
La, la-la-la
     F           Dm
La-la, la-la
               F              G     G
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

[Verse 3]
Am                         F
   So I'm sorry if I ever resisted
    Am                                F
I never had a doubt you ever existed
   Am                                        F
I only have a problem when people insist on
G                           E5                           Am
Taking their hate, placing it on your name
                              F
Some say you're troubled, boy
Am                        F
Just because you like to destroy
       Am                                 F
You are the word, the word is 'destroy'
   G                            E5
I break this bottle, think of you fondly

[Pre-Chorus]
C                            A#5    A5
Did I see you in a limousine?
C                                            A#5    A5
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened?
            C                                        A#5           A5
To the whore in a hostel and the scum of a scheme
              C                        A#5              A5
Turn the rich into wine, walk on the mean
              C                                A#5            A5
It's not a jag in the arm, it's a nail in the beam
             C                          A#5               A5
On the barren Earth, you scatter your seed
               C                                          A#5       A5
Be they Magdalene or virgin, you've already been
              C                               A#5      A5
You've already been, you've already seen
               C            A#5    A5
That the one who,
C             A#5    A5
one who,
C             A#5    A5
one who,
C             A#5    A5
one who,
                    C                                  A#5     A5
Well, you've already been, you've already seen

[Chorus]
              G                        Am
That the fallen are the virtuous among us
          C                               G
Walk among us, oh, if you judge us
                 C
We're all damned
