C C Gm7 Gadd9 C
[Verse 1]
Gm7 CI remember the sickness was forever
Gm7 Gadd9 CI remember snuff videos
Gm7 CCold Septembers, the distances we covered
Gm7 Gadd9 CThe fist fights on the beach, the bizzies round us up
Gm7 CDo it all again next week
An embryonic love
Gm7 Gadd9The first time that it scarred
C
Gmbarrass yourself for someone
Gm7 CCrying like a child
And the boy who kicked Tom’s head in
Gm7 Gadd9Still bugs me now
CThat’s the thing it lingers
CAnd claws you when you’re down
Gm7 Gadd9 C Gm7 C
[Verse 2]
I was far too scared to hit him
Gm7 Gadd9But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
CThat’s the thing with anger
Gm7 CIt begs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
Gm7 Gadd9And leave you spent with nowt to offer
CMakes you hurt the ones who love you
Gm7 CYou hurt them like they’re nothing
Gm7 Gadd9 C
Gm7 CYou hurt them like they’re nothing
Gm7 Gadd9 C C
[Verse 3]
See I spent my teens enraged
Gm7 Gadd9Spiralling in silence
CAnd arm myself with a grin
Gm7 CCos I was always the fuckin’ joker
Buried in the humour
Gm7 Gadd9Amongst the white noise and boys’ boys
CLocker room talkin’ lads’ lads
Gm7 CDrenched in cheap drink and snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Gm7 Gadd9Oh god the kid’s a dab hand
CCanny chanter but he looks sad
Gm7 CGod, the kid looks so sad
Gm7 Gadd9 C
Gm7 CGod, the kid looks so sad
Gm7 Gadd9 C
[Verse 4]
Gm7 CShe said the debt, the debt, the debt
Gm7So I thought about shifting gear
Gadd9And how she wept and wept and wept
CLuck came and died round here
Gm7 CI see my mother
DWP see a number
Gm7 Gadd9She cries on the floor encumbered
CI’m seventeen going under
Gm7 CI’m seventeen going under
Gm7 Gadd9 C
Gm7 CI’m seventeen going under
Gm7 Gadd9 C
Gm7 CI’m seventeen going under
Gm7 Gadd9 C
Gm7 CI’m seventeen going under
