The Chamber Lyrics
[Verse 1: Alex Turner & Miles Kane]
(Leave yourself alone)
Leave yourself alone
(Leave yourself alone)
Can't you see you're only here to be torn apart?
Based upon a nothingness
So leave yourself alone (Alone)
Leave yourself alone (Alone)
[Verse 2: Miles Kane & Alex Turner]
(Tell your wasted time)
Tell your wasted time
(Tell your wasted time)
That I am worse and I would waste it all
Given the chance, I owe apologies
So tell your wasted time (Time)
Tell your wasted time (Time)
[Chorus: Alex Turner]
It's torture locked inside the chamber
[Verse 3: Alex Turner & Miles Kane]
(Cornered by yourself)
Cornered by yourself
(Cornered by yourself)
You said you must admit that you are the instigator
Hanging on to arguments
And you're cornered by yourself (Self)
Cornered by yourself (Self)
(Leave yourself alone)
Leave yourself alone
(Leave yourself alone)
Can't you see you're only here to be torn apart?
Based upon a nothingness
So leave yourself alone (Alone)
Leave yourself alone (Alone)
[Verse 2: Miles Kane & Alex Turner]
(Tell your wasted time)
Tell your wasted time
(Tell your wasted time)
That I am worse and I would waste it all
Given the chance, I owe apologies
So tell your wasted time (Time)
Tell your wasted time (Time)
[Chorus: Alex Turner]
It's torture locked inside the chamber
[Verse 3: Alex Turner & Miles Kane]
(Cornered by yourself)
Cornered by yourself
(Cornered by yourself)
You said you must admit that you are the instigator
Hanging on to arguments
And you're cornered by yourself (Self)
Cornered by yourself (Self)
About
Genius Annotation
This was the first song Turner and Kane ever co-wrote. The back-and-forth vocal melody clearly a result of the pair wishing to experiment with their newfound vocal partner.

What did The Last Shadow Puppets say about "The Chamber"?
Genius Answer
“[The Chamber is] just a reminder not to torture yourself fretting about things.” “[Him and Miles Kane] are terrible ones for doing that; perhaps that’s one of the points we formed a bond on, even before the songs.”
