[G] [Cadd9]) -
[F] [F] [C/G] [C/G] [Verse 1 - No drums - just guitar as per intro][C/G] I re
[G]member ...... the sickness was forever
[Cadd9]I re
[F]member ..... snuff vide
[C/G]os .....Cold Sep
[G]tembers ... The distances we covered
The fist fights
[Cadd9]on the
[F]beach
The Bizzies round us
[C/G] up ... Do it all again next
[G]week ..... An embryonic love
The first time
[Cadd9]that it
[F]scarred
Embarrass yourself for
[C/G]someone
Crying like a
[G]child .. And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
Still
[Cadd9]bugs me
[F]now
That's the thing it
[C/G]lingers And claws you when you're
[G]down
[Vamp - Drums in - See Chorus Tab2] [G] [G] [G] (
[G] [Cadd9]) -
[F] [F] [C/G] [C/G] [Verse 2]I was
[G]far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a
[Cadd9]heartbeat
[F] now
That's the thing with
[C/G]anger
It begs to stick a round
[G] So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with
[Cadd9]nowt to
[F]offer
you hurt the ones who
[C/G]love you
You hurt them like they're
[G]nothing

[Verse 3][Spoken][G] See I spent my teens enraged
Spiral
[Cadd9]ling in
[F]silence
And I armed myself with a
[C/G]grin
Cause I was always the fuckin'
[G]joker
[sung][G]Buried in their humour
Amongst the white
[Cadd9]noise and
[F]boys' boys
Locker room talkin'
[C/G]lads' lads
Drenched in cheap drink and
[G]snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Oh God the
[Cadd9]kid's a da
[F] b hand
Canny chanter, but he looks sad
[C/G] God, the kid looks so
[G] sad

[Cadd9]wuh ah uh
[F]oh ........ ah
[C/G]oh........
[verse 4][C/G] She said the
[G]debt, the debt, the debt
So I thought about shifting gear
[Cadd9] And how she
[F]wept and wept and wept
[C/G]Luck came and died round here
I see my
[G]mother ... The DWP see a number
She cries on the
[Cadd9]floor en
[F]cumbered
I'm seventeen going
[C/G]under
I'm seventeen going
[G]under
