Combat Baby
By Metric
[Verse 1]
B C#m A B C#m E
we used to leave the blue lights on and there was a beat
B C#m A B C#m E
ever since you have been gone it’s all caffeine-free, faux punk fatigues
B C#m A
said it all before
B C#m E
they try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
B C#m A
yet no harm done no
B C#m E
none of them want to fight me
[Chorus]
E G# C#m B E
combat baby come back baby
G# C#m
fight off the lethargy
B E
don’t go quietly
G# C#m
combat baby
B E
said you would never give up easy
G# C#m
combat baby come back
[Verse 2]
B C#m A
get back in town
B C#m E
I wanna paint it black
B C#m A
I wanna get around
B C#m E
easy living crowd so flat
B C#m A
said it all before
B C#m E
they try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
B C#m A
I want to be wrong but
B C#m A E
No one here wants to fight me like you do
[Chorus]
E G# C#m B E
combat baby come back baby
G# C#m
fight off the lethargy
B E
don’t go quietly
G# C#m
combat baby
B E
said you would never give up easy
G# C#m
combat baby come back
[Instrumental]
C#m A A#dim A
[Bridge]
C#m A

A#dim
Compromise
A
Who gets it good?
C#m A
Every mighty mild seventies child
A#dim A
Every mighty mild seventies child
E
Beats me
[Interlude]
(E) G# C#m B E
Do do doo do do doo do do doo do do do doo
G# C#m B E
Do do doo do do doo do do doo do do do doo
[Chorus]
(E) G# C#m B E
Combat baby come back baby
G# C#m

E G# C#m B E
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye baby
G# C#m
Combat baby come back
[Ending]
B C#m A
how I miss your ranting
B C#m E
do you miss my all time lows
