[Verse]
Am    Am                        Em      
Shout if you will but that just won't do
  F                    G             C      
I for one would rather follow softer options
     Dm                         G          
I'll take the easy line another sip of wine
       F            Em            E7          Am          Am
And if I ignore the face you wore it's just a way of mine ■ 
   Fmaj7     G      C Fmaj7 
To keep from flying ■ colors
Esus4 Am Am7 Am G F Dm C

[Intro]

[Verse]
Dm    Dm7                     G           G7   
Don't lay your bait while the whole world waits
Dm7              Esus4         
Around to see me shoot you down
Em7      Am           
It's all so secondrate
Dm                   G7        C           
When we can last for days on a loving night


[Chorus]
       G                                     
Or for hours at least on a warm whisper given
Am                               Bmaj7    Em          C    
■  You always pick the best time ■     to rise to the fight
G                 C                  Dm     Em
To break the hard bargain that we've driven ■ 
Em7 Am         G            E7    
■   Once again we're flying colors


[Verse]
Em Am Em Am
■  ■  ■  ■ 
                                  G     
I thought we had it out the night before
Am F           Am                     C       
■  And settled old scores but not the hard way
         Dm            
Was it a glass too much
G                 
Or a smile too few
Dm7                           Em7         
Did our friends all catch the needle match
       Am          
Did we want them to
Dm      G7                       C         Am
■  In a fancy restaurant we were all aglow ■ 


[Chorus]
G                                   C
■ Keeping cool by mutual permission ■
Am                             
■  How did the conversation get
Eb          Em      C    
To where we came to blows
G                   C   Dm        Em
We were set up in a red condition ■ 
    Am          G      E7    
And again we're flying colors

[Verse]
                     G     C       
Shout but you see it still won't do
     F                  Dm C                 
With my colors on I can be just as bad as you
             Dm            
Have I had a glass too much
             G7           
Did I give a smile too few
        Dm7                   Esus4       
Did our friends all catch the needle match
       Am          
Did we want them to
Dm            G7       G         C            F    C
■  We act our parts so well like we wrote the play ■


[Chorus]
G                                   C
■ All so predictable and we know it ■
Am              Bmaj7         
■  We'll settle old scores now
    Em              C  
And settle the hard way
G                  C       G          Em
■ You may not even live to outgrow it ■ 
Am         G            F      C Dm     C      Bb7
Once again we're flying colors ■ flying colors ■
