Intro: G - C - Em - C x2

G                          C
So you've tied your colours to the mast

Em                               C
Held up the white bag with the highest flag
G                             C
Lock the bathroom door, boy, have a blast
Em                              C
Use the flush to justify the aftermath (The aftermath)
G 
Oh and look now you're the guest of the government
C
Oh caught out peering over the parapet
Em                                          C
Look now you're the guest of the government
G                          C
So you've tied your colours to the tree
Em                               C
Try and bat back questions with certainty
G                               C
Don't forget your name though that's key
Em                                     C
Let the flock take stock and curb the misery (The misery)
G
Oh and look now you're the guest of the government
C
Oh caught out peering over the parapet
Em                                            C
Look now you're the guest of the government
G
Oh and look now you're the guest of the government
C
Oh lined up like a pale faced president
Em                                           C
Look now you're the guest of the government
                      G                           C
Look it's the eager barflies and the fashionably late
                 Em                                     C
The tug between those who come to drink and those to create
                   G                                       C
By the end of the night it's all been granted the old news shrug
                Em                       C
And we all fall gently in a comfortable hug
                          G                              C
And with both eyes on the watch and a trip to the Baltic state
                      Em                    C
And the love slowly conquers like rust on a gate
                        G                             C 
Though the surface can scratch you and the colour can fade
                      Em                                              C
It's the feeling that starts in the tips of your toes as we rise up again
G
Oh and look now you're the guest of the government
C
Oh caught out peering over the parapet
Em                                           C
Look now you're the guest of the government
G
Oh and look now you're the guest of the government
C
Oh lined up like a pale faced president
Em                                            C
Look now you're the guest of the government
