Bm - F#m x4 
 
Verse 
Bm                      F#m 
We all want someone to shout for 
       Bm                     F#m 
Yeah, everyone wants somebody to adore 
          G                          Em 
But your heroes aren't what they seem 
                       Bm         F#m 
When you've been where we've been 
 
Bm                       F#m 
Have I done something to trigger 
Bm                       F#m 
The funny looks and the sniggers? 
          G           Em                Bm      F#m 
Are they there at all, or is it just paranoia? 
 
Refrain 
G           D        F#m 
Everybody's got their box 
G                   D     F#m 
Doing what they're told 
     G                    D    F#m 
You pushed my faith near being lost 
G 
But we'll stick to the guns 
                   F# 
Don't care if it's marketing suicidal 
F# 
Won't crack or compromise 
F# 
Your do-rights or individes 
F# 
Will never unhinge us 
 
Bm - F#m 4x 
 
Verse 
Bm                      F#m 
And there's a couple of hundred 
Bm                          F#m 
Think they're Christopher Columbus 
          G                   Em 
But the settlers had already settled 
            Bm            F#m 
Yeah, long before ya 
 
Bm                      F#m 
Just cos we're having a say-so 
Bm                  F#m 
Not lining up to be playdoh 
       G                        Em 
Oh, in five years time, will it be 
                       Bm          F#m 
"Who the fuck's Arctic Monkeys?" 
 
Refrain 
G                   D        F#m 
'Cause everybody's got their box 
G                   D     F#m 
Doing what they're told 
     G                    D    F#m 
You pushed my faith near being lost 
G 
But we'll stick to the guns 
                   F# 
Don't care if it's marketing suicidal 
F# 
Won't crack or compromise 
F# 
Your do-rights or individes 
F# 
Will never unhinge us

C#m                      G#m 
All the thoughts that I just said 
      C#m                      G#m 
Will linger round and multiply in their head 
         A 
Not that mad to start with 
         F#m                  C#m 
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed

It's not you it's them that are wrong 
Tell 'em to take out their tongues 
Tell 'em to take out their tongues...

Tell 'em to take out their tongues 
Tell 'em to take out their tongues 
And bring on the backlash!
