Ab Dbadd9 Gb
Db/AbI Abremember the sickness was forever
Dbadd9I Gbadd9remember snuff Db/Abvideos
Cold AbSeptembers
Db/AbThe distances we covered
The fist fightsDbadd9 on the Gbadd9beach
The Bizzies round us Db/Abup
Do it all again next Abweek
Db/AbAn embryonic love
The first time Dbadd9that it Gbadd9scarred
Embarrass yourself forDb/Ab someone
Crying like a Abchild
Db/AbAnd the boy who kicked Tom’s head in
Still Dbadd9bugs me Gbadd9now
That’s the thing it Db/Ablingers
And claws you when you’re Abdown
Ab Dbadd9 Gb Db/Ab
AbI was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a Dbadd9heartbeat Gbadd9now
That’s the thing with Db/Abanger
It begs to stick aroAbund
Db/AbSo it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with Dbadd9nowt to Gbadd9offer
It makes you hurt the ones who Db/Ablove you
You hurt them like they’re Abnothing
Ab
oh oo Dbadd9wuh ah Gbadd9uh oh ah Db/Aboh
You hurt them like they’re Abnothing
Ab
oh oo Dbadd9wuh ah Gbadd9uh oh ah Db/Aboh
You hurt them Bm7like they’re Abnothing
Ab
oh oo Dbadd9wuh ah Gbadd9uh oh ah Db/Aboh
Db/Ab Ab
AbSee I spent my teens enraged
Dbadd9Spiralling in Gbadd9silence
And I armed myself with a Db/Abgrin
Cause I was always the fuckin' Abjoker
AbBuried in their humour
Amongst the white Dbadd9noise and Gbadd9boys' boys
Locker room talkin' Db/Ablads' lads
Drenched in cheap drink and Absnide fags
AbA mirrored picture of my old man
Oh God the Dbadd9kid’s a Gbadd9dab hand
Canny chanter, but he Db/Ablooks sad
God, the kid looks Abso sad
Ab Dbadd9 Gb Db/Ab
Db/AbGod, the kid looks Abso sad
Ab Dbadd9 Gb Db/Ab
Db/AbShe said the Abdebt, the debt, the debt
Db/AbSo I thought about shifting gear
Dbadd9And how she Gbadd9wept and wept and wept
Db/AbLuck came and died round here
I see my Abmother
Db/AbThe DWP see a number
She cries on the Dbadd9floor Gbadd9encumbered
I’m seventeen going Db/Abunder
I’m seventeen going Abunder
