Floating in the Forth Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]So you just stepped out
Of the front [D]of my [C]house
And I'll nev[Dsus4]er
[D]see [C]you [G]again
I closed my eyes for a second
[D]And whe[C]n they opened[Dsus4]
[D]You wer[C]en't [G]there
And the door shut shut
I was va[D]cuum [G]pac[C]ked
[Dsus4]Shrink-wrapped out out [C]of [G]air
And the spine collapsed
And the [D]eye[G]s rolled [C]back
[Dsus4]To stare at [C]my starving [G]brain

[Verse 2]
And fully [G]clothed, [C]I float away
[Dsus4](I'll float [D]away)
Down the [G]Forth, in[C]to the sea
I [G]think I'll save suicide for another day

[Interlude 1]
[G][Dsus4]
[C][Dsus4][C][G]
[Dsus4][C][Dsus4][C][G]

[Verse 3]
And I [G]picture this corpse
On [C]the M8 hearse
And [G]I h[D]ave found a[C] way t[G]o sleep
On a rolled up coat
Against the window
With the strobe of the sun
And [D]the life [G]I've led
Am I ready to leap
Is there [Dsus4]peace beneath
[C]The[Dsus4] roar of the Forth
[C]Road [G]Bridge?
On the northern side
There's [D]a Fife of [Dsus4]mine
[C]And a boa[Dsus4]t in the port
[C]for me[Dsus4]
[D]Fully clothed,

[Verse 4]
[G]I'l[C]l float away
[Dsus4](I'll float away)
Down the Forth,
[G]into [C]the[Gsus4] sea[G]
[Dsus4]I'll steer my[D]self
[G]Thr[C]ough chopping wav[Dsus4]es
As manic gull[G]s
Scream [C]"It's [Dsus4]okay"
[G]Take your life
Give [C]it [Dsus4]a shake
Gather [D]up
[G]All[C] your loose change

[Outro 1]
I think I'll save suicide for another year
[G][C][Dsus4][C]
[G]
[C][Dsus4][D][C]
[G][C][Dsus4][C]
[G][C][Dsus4]
