boxing night Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Boxing night
[Em]I celebrate in style,
in box[Csus2]er shorts and spirits
Floor littered with [D]ghosts
of bottles past
There's [G]a naked hush,
clothed [Em]only in breath and a pulse
[C]Of a heart [Csus2]that is kicking[G][Csus2]
as though it is [D]desperate to be born
[G]

[Verse 2]
I am hostage blind,
[Em]deaf to the din outside
Good Glas[Csus2]gow could burn to its timber tonight,
I'd [D]barely blink an eye
Well [G]the clock just stopped,
you can cut [Em]that into my headstone
Won't [G]something [Csus2]move so I stop[G][Csus2]
staring [D]a hole into the phone?

[Verse 3]
You can get me [Csus2]at home
With a drink [D]to ill [Csus2]health[D]
Just me and [Csus2]these walls
And a [D]beaten up chair
On box[Em]ing [G]day

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em][Csus2][D]

[Verse 4]
This is [G]boxing night,
[D]and someone [Em]lost an eye
I [Csus2]swear I've lost the last dro[G]p of wha[Csus2]tever kept m[D]e awake,
alive
[G]Well I fell in the Forth from
a heavy right hook
To a [Em]blushed and swollen face
In [Csus2]a single blow it's murdered and
then it takes [D]years to waste away

[Verse 5]
I can't [G]call you all mine anymore
I can[Em]'t call you, full stop
But [Csus2]you know you can call me up anytime
Call me [D]whatever the fuck you want

[Verse 6]
You can get me at [Csus2]home
With a drink [D]to [Csus2]ill health[D]
Just me and these [Csus2]walls
And a [D]beaten up chair

[Verse 7]
[D]
You can [Em]get [D]me at [Csus2]home
With [C]a drink [D]to ill [Csus2]health[D]
Just [Em]me an[D]d [Csus2]these wall[D]s[Csus2]
And a [D]beaten up chair
On [Em]box i[D]ng d[Em]ay[D][G]
