[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

[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

[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
