David Bowie - Battle for Britain (The Letter): chords

  B
My, my, but time do fly,
 F#                           A
When it's in another pair of hands.
       B
And a loser I will be,
         F#                         A
for I've never been a winner in my life.

I got used to stress and pain,
I used the sucker pills,
and pity for the self.
Though it's the animal in me,
But I'd rather be
a beggar man on the shelf.

 G                                 F#
Don't be so forlorn it's just the payoff
                           E
It's the rain before the storm.
      G                               F#
On a better day I'll take you by the hand
                               E
And I'll walk you through the door.
 G                                 F#
Don't be so forlorn it's just the payoff
                           A
It's the rain before the storm.

Chorus:
 C                               G
Don't you let my letter get you down.
A# F
(Don't you don't you don't you don't you)

My, my, but time do fly
when it's in another pair of pants
And illusion I will be,
for I've never been a sinner, la di da

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm

Chorus:
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

Don't you let my letter get
you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Don't you let my letter get
you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, down, down
