Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Running  off over next  doors garden
 Before  the hour is done
 It's more  a question of feeling
 Than it is  a question of fun
 The confidence  is the balaclava
 I'm sure  you'll baffle 'em good
 Will the ending  reek of salty  cheeks
 And runny  makeup alone
 Or will blood run down the face
 Of a boy bewildered and scorned
 And you'll find yourself in a skirmish
 And you wish you'd never been born
 And you tie yourself to the tracks
 And there isn't no going back
 And it's wrong wrong wrong
 But we'll do it anyway cause we love a bit of trouble
 Are you pulling her from a burning building
 Or throwing her to the sharks
 Can only hope that the ending is as pleasurable as the start
 The confidence is the balaclava, i'm sure you baffle 'em straight
 And its wrong wrong wrong, she can hardly wait
That's  right, he won't let her out  his sight
 Now the shaggers perform
 And the daggers are drawn
 Who's the crooks in this  crime?
 That's right, he won't let her out his sight
 Now the shaggers perform
 And the daggers are drawn
 Who's the crooks in this....
 Crime!
 That's right, he wont let her out his sight
 That's right, he wont let her out his sight
 That's right, he wont let her out his sight
 You'll be able to post any day of the most
 For the sights of all time
 You knew that it'd be trouble right before the very first kiss
 Quiet and assuming but you heard that they were the naughtiest
 She pleaded with you to take it off
 But you resisted and fought
 Sorry sweetheart, I'd much rather keep on the balaclava.
 Probably not even close but someone has to do it

[Bm]Running off over [F#m]next doors garden
Be[D]fore the hour is [Bm]done
It's [Bm]more a question of [F#m]feeling
Than it [D]is a question of [F#m]fun
The [Bm]confidence is the [F#m]balaclava
I'm [D]sure you'll baffle 'em [Bm]good
Will the [Bm]ending reek of [F#m]salty cheeks
And [D]runny makeup a[F#m]lone

Or will blood run down the face
Of a boy bewildered and scorned
And you'll find yourself in a skirmish
And you wish you'd never been born
And you tie yourself to the tracks
And there isn't no going back
And it's wrong wrong wrong
But we'll do it anyway cause we love a bit of trouble

Are you pulling her from a burning building
Or throwing her to the sharks
Can only hope that the ending is as pleasurable as the start
The confidence is the balaclava, i'm sure you baffle 'em straight
And its wrong wrong wrong, she can hardly wait

[Bm]That's right, he won't let her out[F#m] his sight
Now the shaggers pe[Bm]rform
And the daggers are [F#m]drawn
Who's the crooks in t[Bm]his crime?

That's right, he won't let her out his sight
Now the shaggers perform
And the daggers are drawn
Who's the crooks in this....
Crime!

That's right, he wont let her out his sight
That's right, he wont let her out his sight
That's right, he wont let her out his sight

You'll be able to post any day of the most
For the sights of all time

You knew that it'd be trouble right before the very first kiss
Quiet and assuming but you heard that they were the naughtiest
She pleaded with you to take it off
But you resisted and fought
Sorry sweetheart, I'd much rather keep on the balaclava.

Probably not even close but someone has to do it
