INTRO
(What do we have for you, sir? what would you like?)
(What do ya got?)
CHORUS 1
[A] [A7] [D] (x2)
[A] Let me [A7] in, let me [D] in, let me in
Oh [A] please, [A7] please, [D] please, please!
[A] I might [A7] die but [D] I don’t care [A] [A7] [D]
VERSE 1
[B] You get down from the train and then run for two days
[B] Through the end of all ghettos, a junkyard in the rain
[F]
[B] She appears in a hail of carbon and steam
[B] With a hissing of brakes and a fire-alarm scream
[F]
Her [D7] headlamp eyes are [C] on you
She sees be [D7] hind the child a [C] round you
There’s [D7] nowhere you could [C] run to
Even if you [G] wanted (and it’s too late now)
CHORUS 2
[A] Let me [A7] in, let me [D] in, let me in
Oh [A] please, one [A7] thousand per [D] cent, one thousand per [A] cent
[A] Let me [A7] in, let me [D] in, let me in right [A] now
[A] One [A7] thousand per [D] cent
VERSE 2
[B] She has dirtied up the windows
[B] She has lived in a trance
[B] She has killed for her pleasure
[B] She makes you look slow and stupid
[F]
[B] And you cannot escape her – no creator
[B] Her frantic behaviour – no creator
[F]
And it [D7] dawned through the bricked-up [C] window
You see a [D7] mangled tree and a [C] rainbow
Rough [D7] ground to a dim hor [C] izon
When you’re a [G] world away from the halfway of life
Which pro [G] tected you, then rejected you
CHORUS 2
[A] Let me [A7] in, let me [D] in, let me in
Oh [A] please, one [A7] thousand per [D] cent, one thousand per [A] cent
[A] Let me [A7] in, let me [D] in, let me in right [A] now
[A] One [A7] thousand per [D] cent
INTERLUDE
Die, quiver, groin shake, head shake, head shake, head shake, leg shake, quiver, quiver, quiver, quiver, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder, shudder
Resolve! resolve!
CHORUS 2
[A] Let me [A7] in, let me [D] in, let me in
Oh [A] please, one [A7] thousand per [D] cent, one thousand per [A] cent
[A] Let me [A7] in, let me [D] in, let me in right [A] now
[A] One [A7] thousand per [D] cent, one thousand per [A] cent
OUTRO/FADE
[A] I’ll tell you [A7] lies about [D] all my obsessions
[A] Just to [A7] get what I [D] want (One thousand per [A] cent, one [A7] thousand per [D] cent)
I’ll do [A] anything I [A7] want with any [D] body I like
I’m [A] free (One [A7] thousand per [D] cent, one thousand per [A] cent)
[A] I tell, [A7] I tell you, [D] I tell you it’s true
[A] [A7] [D]
