INTRO
Main Riff
VERSE 1
------------G--------------------------Csus2---
I forgot to tell you, I have smart new shoes on
----------------G/B--------G-----------------D-----------
Bought with the money they gave me after the London bombs
----------------G---------------------Csus2----------
And I forgot to tell you, I've pulled myself together
------------------G/B-G------------------D-----
Gave next door the TV, stopped trying to belong
BRIDGE 1
----------------Am------
And i forgot to tell you,
-------------------------G---------------------------D
I have your thick woolen socks on,
------Am---------------------------------------------
So it feels like my feet are still touching your feet
--------------G-------------------D---
Though you're gone, though you're gone
VERSE 2
------------G-----------------------Csus2------------------
I forgot to tell you, a girl at the office lost her husband
-------------------G/B--G------------------------D------
You met him at the barbecue, I've chipped in for flowers
--------G--------------------Csus2----------
And the waiting, the waiting really hurt her
-------------------G/B-G------------------D-------------------
They put it on the news, but didn't phone her for eleven hours
BRIDGE 2
------Am--------------------------G-------------------D
And i realised she was looking to me
----Am---------------G--------------------------------D
For some king of solidarity
--------Am-------------------------------G------------D
I could read her thoughts, a widow and a widower
----Am--------------------------------G---------------D
But i have nothing, I have nothing to offer
CHORUS 1
--C---------------------------G-----
Today, today we stop standing around
-----------------------------Em7---
Today we're not standing our ground
-----------------------D---------------------------------
find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives
--C---------------------------Em--
Today, today we start running away
----------------------------G---
And we'll always be running away
------------------------D---------
Or the box might aswell be a grave
VERSE 3
------------G-----------------------------Csus2--
I forgot to tell you, the whole estate is talking
----G/B---------G-----------------------------D--------
The police came down last night and took some boys away
-----------------G------------------------Csus2-------------
Nobody rushed to judgement in the face of their machine guns
------------G/B--------G--------------------------
We know our history is better than the liars on TV
-------D---------------------
But we don't know what to say
BRIDGE 3
--------Am-------------G-----------------------------D
We just hold on to our anger
---Am--------------G---------------------------------D
We won't let it evaporate
-----Am-------------------------G--------------------D
Hold on, we won't let our anger fade
CHORUS 2
--C---------------------------G-----
Today, today we stop standing around
-----------------------------Em7---
Today we're not standing our ground
-----------------------D---------------------------------
find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives
--C---------------------------Em--
Today, today we start running away
----------------------------G---
And we'll always be running away
------------------------D---------
Or the box might aswell be a grave
