The Who - I Like Nightmares: chords

        A
I like nightmares
I like being witless
One for the news flash
Cool eyewitness
       E           F#m Bm         G
Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three,
      D
it's happening
            A
Gotta be a fucking fool to blame TV
            D
Don't get trapped in
           Bm                    G
If you're lucky, be the same as me
        A
I like nightmares
Yes, I do

           D             G                D
There's a simple way to die they call it news
           D              G               A  D/A A
There's a simple way to fly they call it booze
           G             F                     G
There's an easy quiet escape, just sleep and cruise
      G           F                   A
It's justifiable rape, they say you choose

Chorus:
I like nightmares
I like feeling chick less
Flicking my lighter
Watching life flit west
Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three,
it is happening
Can we afford to strike three,
do not trust the captain
He is just a boy like me
And I like nightmares, yes I do

There's a common way to weep, they say just smoke
You can cry yourself to sleep, they say just toke
There's a path that never fails, you can't get lost
Don't need roads, you're on rails, I'll pay the cost
And I like nightmares, yes, I do


         A#                C            D
We were wasted, but you're only waylaid once
         A#           C                  G
What we tasted was a voucher, pay their lunch
                 C                       G
We robbed their banks and we took their gold
         Am                       D
And our lies in the tank must've sounded old
          A   D/A A
But we pleaded

                 A#               C
I said, "You're honor were not chumps,
      D       E           A
after all, we only did it once."

Chorus:
We like nightmares
They test our fitness
A full can of goulash
A taint in the mid-west
Eighty one, eighty two, eighty three,
it is happening
Nothing floats interest free,
do not care what it is wrapped in
You could be abreast like me
And I like nightmares, yes I do
I like nightmares
