(One, two, three, four)…..
[Refrain]
A
..She said life gets no better and no worse
‘Cause where we came from, they tell you it’s a curse
A
..Hiding places lonely as she does
D
Their smiling faces, no, they don’t need us tonight
[Chorus]
D Bm A
..Are we one ribbon around the bomb?
[Verse]
A
..My nocturnal creature, she don’t sleep
For all the sounds here, they’re so strange to me

..Then she said, “Boy, meet me by the beach on the edge of the retreating sea tonight”
[Chorus]
D Bm A
..Are we one ribbon around the bomb?
D Bm A
..Take me home, ribbon around the bomb

..As you gaze from your heavy heart
D E
No, we won’t Do you any harm
D E
Plenty small ones and many large
D A
Into your arms, until we part
[Verse]
A
..She said life gets no better and no worse
‘Cause where we came from, they tell you it’s a curse
A
..Hiding places lonely as she does

Their smiling faces, no, they don’t need us tonight

Ribbon around the bomb, the bomb, the bomb
A
Ribbon around the bomb
