Tabbed by David Sharples

I heard this song at Cardiff Millennium Stadium, it's an amazing
song from an amazing gig, "everyone should go out and buy it so that
we don't have a shit No. 1 for a change" (Nicky) 

(the lyrics are from the advert in NME)

Hello it's us again
F5
We're still so in love with you
C5

G5

A5         F5
The masses against the classes
C5           
I'm tired of giving a reason 
C5
when the future is all we believe in
A5                    F5
we love the winter it brings us closer together


A5   F5   A5 (or something like this, not sure though)
ah ah ah ah

Verse

A5
So can you hurt us anymore
F5
Can you feel like it was before
C5
Or are you lost forevermore
G5
Messed up and dead on alcohol
A5
Hello fond farewell my dear
F5
I hope you hear this nice and clear
C5
Our love is unconditional
G5
Our hate is yours to feed upon

Chorus
A5         F5
The masses against the classes
C5           
I'm tired of giving a reason 
C5
when the future is all we believe in

we love the winter it brings us closer together


F5 (second guitar slides around the fretboard)

Solo (working on this bit at the moment, any help appreciated)

Chorus
A5         F5
The masses against the classes
C5           
I'm tired of giving a reason 
C5
when we're the only thing left to believe in
A5                    F5
we love the winter it brings us closer together


F5
ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
