Biography:
Badly Drawn Boy is Damon Gough, born October 2, 1969 in Dunstable, Bedfordshire, although the family moved to Bolton, Lancashire before Gough reached the age of one. Gough chose his stage name from a character that appeared in the cartoon show "Sam and His Magic Ball" which he saw on TV at a party in Trafford, Manchester in 1995. Before he thought of using this name he made some 'business cards', each one unique, with a printed picture of a drawing by his nephew, and a small collage by Gough.

Intro:
G(III)/F#m/D5/A5/riff
G(III)/F#m/Bm(VII)/A(V)/riff
G(III)/F#m/D5/A5/riff A
Verse 1:
D A D Bm F#m G D
And you were right to bide your time and not buy into my misery
G F#m
Well the good things are never free
Em F#m G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V) A(V)
Do the colours of the rainbow look the same to everyone?
Verse 2:
D A D Bm F#m G D
And I was rushing round in circles for a reason to believe
G F#m
Wipe the slime from off your sleeve
Em F#m G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V) A(V)
You could follow me for weeks and I'm not going anywhere
Break 1:
Em Bm/F# A
Sometimes it's hard to love someone
Em Bm/F# A
Until the day that they are gone
Verse 3:
D A D Bm F#m G D
And I just had a dream the other night I was married to the Queen
G F#m Bm A
And Madonna lived next door, I think she took a shine to me
G F#m Em F#m
And the kids were all grown up, but I had to turn her down
G F#m Bm(VII) A(V)
Cause I was still in love with you
Chorus:
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
I'm turning Madonna down
G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V)/riff
I'm calling it my best move
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff A
I'll get a ticket to what you need
Break 2:
F#m Bm G F#m Bm A x2 A
Verse 4:
D A D Bm F#m G D
I remember doing nothing on the night sinatra died
G F#m
And the night Geoff Buckley died
Bm A
And the night Kurt Cobain died
G F#m
And the night John Lennon died
My suggestions for extendeding the verse (as seen on BBC TV Top of The Pops):
John Bonham
Frank Zappa
Jimi Hendrix
Duane Allman
George Harrison
Marvin Gaye
Bob Marley
Elvis Presley
Em F#m G F#m Bm(VII) A(V)
I remember I stayed up to watch the news with everyone
Chorus:
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
And that was a lot of nights
G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V)/riff
And that was a lot of lads
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
Who lost a ticket to what they need
Verse 5:
D A D Bm F#m G D
And I was busy finding answers while you just got on with real life,
G F#m
Always hoped you'd be my wife,
Bm A Em F#m
But I never found the time for the question to arrive,
G F#m Bm(V) A(V)
I just disguised it in a song
Verse 6:
D A D Bm F#m
And songs are never quite the answer
G D G F#m
Just a soundtrack to a life, that is over all too soon
Em F#m
Helps to turn the days to night
G F#m Bm(VII) A(V)
While I was wrong and you were right
Chorus:
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
And this was a lesson learned,
G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V)/riff
I'm happy to be your fool,
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
And get you tickets to what you need
Verse 7: (Whistled)
D A D Bm F#m G D G F#m Em F#m
G F#m Bm(VII) A(V)
Chorus:
G(III) F#m D5 A5/riff
I'm turning the lights down low
G(III) F#m Bm(VII) A(V)/riff
I'm ready to make my move
G(III) F#m D5 A5 D
I'll get you tickets to what you neeeee-eeeed
