Bloc Party - Rhododendron

^Em On the^Bm hottest night ^Gof the ^Cyear ^Em Lying ^Bm in a patch of ^Grho-, rhodod^Cendrons A ^Embottle of whisky under my arm ^BmTrying to count a sky full of stars I ^Gdream of order, I dream of fleets Of Na^Cpoleon in aquamarine He said "^EmLinus, put that blanket down You've ^Bmslammed your door too many times" He said "^GLinus, put that blanket down The ^Cworld won't wait"

^CBoy, what you gonna ^Bmdo with your life ^DBoy, what you gonna ^Cdo with your life ^CBoy, what you gonna ^Bmdo with your life ^DBoy, what you gonna ^Cdo with your life

When^Em I was your age,^Bm I was com^Gman-, commanding ^Cfleets ^Em When I ^Bm was your age, I was ^Gsoaked in vic^Ctory And now you ^Emcan't keep a job and you can't keep a wife What a ^Bmhorrible mess you're gonna make of your life Watched ^Gway too many American films To be ^CJohn Wayne, Brando or James Dean ^EmWaiting so long for your wrists to get thick ^BmWaiting so long for the next great party ^GSo many questions, so little to say You don't ^Cneed these weights

^CBoy, what you gonna ^Bmdo with your life ^DBoy, what you gonna ^Cdo with your life ^CBoy, what you gonna ^Bmdo with your life ^DBoy, what you gonna ^Emdo with your life

So you want to be an ^Cartist, want to be a ^Bmsinger Want to be re^Dmembered for what you could cre^Emate So you want to be a ^Dcowboy, ride into the ^Bmdistance Never have to ^Dlisten or answer to any^Emone So you want to be a ^Cboxer, surviving on your ^Ginstincts Relying on your ^Dfists and the quickness of your ^Emwit Are you bigger than these ^Ambuildings and the grey a^Ground you? Is your pain more ^Dworthy than everybody ^Emelse
