E B E B
Shut out, pimpled and angry
E B A B
I quietly tied all my guts into knots
E B E B
Gave up trying to make 'em
E B A B
Figured it'd take 'em too long to look up
C#minor E A E
And besides, it was undeniably clear to me, I dunno why
C#minor D A
When every other part of love seemed locked behind shutters
B
I knew the worthless dregs we've always been
E B E B
Lucked out, found my favourite record
E B A B
Lying in wait at the Birmingham Mall
E B E B E
The songs that I heard, the occasional book
B A B G#
Were the only fun I ever took
A B E
And I got on with making myself
G# A B C
Now the trick is just making yourself
C G
But when they're parking their cars on your chest
G C
You've still got a view of the summer sky
C G C
To make it hurt twice when your restless body caves to it's whim
C Bminor
And suddenly struggles to take flight
Repeat Intro

Three thousand miles north-east
B E B A B E
I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads
E B E B E
What kind of life you dream of? You're allergic to love
B A B C#minor
Yes I know but I must say in my own defense
E A E
It's been undeniably dear to me, I dunno why
C#minor E A E
When every other part of love seemed locked behind shutters
B
I knew the worthless dregs we are
The selfless, loving saints we are
E
The melting, sliding dice we've always been
