That’s Entertainment | Chords + Lyrics (Capo 3)


Intro

| G | Em | G | Em |
| Am | F | G | Em |

Verse 1

||: G | Em :||
A police car and a screaming siren.
A pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete.
A baby wailing, stray dog howling.
The screech of brakes and lamp light blinking.

Chorus 1

| Am | F | Am | F | G | Em |
That’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.

Verse 2

||: G | Em :||
A smash of glass and the rumble of boots.
An electric train and a ripped-up phone booth.
Paint-splattered walls and the cry of a tomcat.
Lights going out and a kick in the balls.

Chorus 2

| Am | F | Am | F |
I say that’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.
| G | Em | G | Em |
Ah. La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.

Verse 3

||: G | Em :||
Days of speed and slow time Mondays (La la la la la, ah).
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday (La la la la la, ah).
Watching the news and not eating your tea (La la la la la, ah).
A freezing cold flat and damp on the walls (La la la la la, ah).

Chorus 3

| Am | F | Am | F | G | Em |
I say that’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.

Verse 4

||: G | Em :||
Waking up at six AM on a cool warm morning.
Opening the windows and breathing in petrol.
An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard.
Watching the tele and thinking about your holidays.

Chorus 4

| Am | F | Am | F |
That’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.
| G | Em | G | Em |
Ah. La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.
| G | Em | Am | F | G | Em |
La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.

Verse 5

||: G | Em :||
Waking up from bad dreams and smoking cigarettes.
Cuddling a warm girl and smelling stale perfume.
A hot summer’s day and sticky black tarmac.
Feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away.

Chorus 5

| Am | F | Am | F | G | Em |
That’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.

Verse 6

||: G | Em :||
Two lovers kissing amongst the scream of midnight.
Two lovers missing the tranquility of solitude.
Gettin’ in a cab and traveling on buses.
Reading the graffiti about slashed seat affairs.

Chorus 6

| Am | F | Am | F |
I said that’s entertainment, that’s entertainment.

Outro

||: G | Em | G | Em |
Ah. La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.
| G | Em | Am | F :|| to fade
La la la la la, ah. La la la la la, ah.
