 Hold your fire
 I'm coming out  and I'll tell  you the truth
 I was trying  to raise  my roof
 Did you see  it
 That I needed to prove
 That my stinger always stays
 You said she's beautiful when  she plays
 Did I hit  you in the proper place
 Suddenly
I,  oh well I  could live in this town
 Five cold  years before I
 Yes I  could live in this town
Before  I head for home
 It's my turn
 With the spotlight burning  a hole
 But my bird-heart's turning cold
 As the temperature rises all around
 To the sound  of a ticking bomb
 And then it's not  just showing  off here
 You know there's something  going on  here
 Going on  here
 Suddenly
I,  oh well I  could live in this town
 Five cold  years before I
 Yes I  could live in this town
Five  cold years
 Yes I  could live in this town
 Five cold  years before I
 Well I  could live in this town
Before  I head for home
 (mute)
 And considered it odd
 That I ever stayed
 ever stayed
 That I ever stayed
 ever stayed
 That I ever stayed
 ever stayed
 That I ever stayed
 ever stayed
 You know that feeling  you get
 when you don't  want to leave
 That feeling  you get
 when you don't  want to leave
 That feeling  when you don't want to leave
 Suddenly
I,  oh well I  could live in this town
 Five cold  years before I
 Yes I  could live in this town
Five  cold years
 Yes I  could live in this town
 Five cold  years before I
 Well I  could live in this town
 Uummannaq
 Uummannaq
Before  I head for home
 (mute)
 And considered it odd
 That I ever stayed

Hold your [Bm]fire
I'm coming [D]out and I'll [E]tell you the [Bm]truth
I was [D]trying to [E]raise my [Bm]roof
Did you [A]see it
That I [G]needed [A]to [Bm]prove
That my [D]stinger [E]always [Bm]stays
You said she's [D]beautiful [E]when she [Bm]plays
Did I [D]hit you in the [E]proper [A]place
[A]   Suddenly

[G]I, oh well [A]I could live in this [F#m]town
Five [G]cold years before I
Yes [A]I could live in this [F#m]town
[G]Before I head for home

[Bm] [D] [E]

It's my [Bm]turn
With the [D]spotlight [E]burning a [Bm]hole
But my [D]bird-heart's [E]turning [Bm]cold
As the [A]temperature [G]rises [A]all [Bm]around
To the [D]sound of a [E]ticking [Bm]bomb
And then it's [D]not just [E]showing off [Bm]here
You know [D]there's [E]something going [A]on here
Going [A]on here

Suddenly

[G]I, oh well [A]I could live in this [F#m]town
Five [G]cold years before I
Yes [A]I could live in this [F#m]town
[G]Five cold years
Yes [A]I could live in this [F#m]town
Five c[G]old years before I
Well [A]I could live in this [F#m]town
[G]Before I head for home

(mute)
And considered it odd
That I ever [Bm]stayed
ever [A]stayed
That I ever [Bm]stayed
ever [A]stayed
That I ever [Bm]stayed
ever [A]stayed
That I ever [Bm]stayed
ever [A]stayed
You know that [Bm]feeling you get
when you [E]don't want to [D]leave
That [Bm]feeling you get
when you [E]don't want to [D]leave
That [Bm]feeling when you don't want to leave
[Bm]    Suddenly

[G]I, oh well [A]I could live in this [F#m]town
Five [G]cold years before I
Yes [A]I could live in this [F#m]town
[G]Five cold years
