[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][D][A][D][A]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Shut [A]out[D],
pimpled and [A]angry.
[D]I quietly [A]tied all [D]my [G]guts into knot[A]s.[D]
Gave [A]up [D]on trying to [A]make them,
I [D]figured it'd [A]take them [D]too [G]long
to look [A]up and be[Bm]sides...

[Verse 2]
It was [F#]undeniably [G]clear to me
i don't know [D]why
When every [G]other part of [Bm]life
seemed [C]locked behind [G]shutters
I [A]knew what worthless dregs
we [D]all are then.

[Verse 3]
[D]Lucked [A]out [D]and found my
favorite re[A]cord[D]s
Lying in [A]wait at [Bm]the b[G]irm
ingham [A]mall.[D]
The song[A]s the i[D] heard,
The oc[A]casion[D]al book
Were the [A]only [D]fun[G] i eve[A]r too[F#]k.
And i [G]got on with mak[A]ing [D]myself.
[G]
[D][G][D]
[F#m][F#][F#m]
[G]The trick is just mak[A]ing your[Bb]self.

[Verse 4]
But when they're [Bb]parking their
cars on your [F]chest
You've still got a view of the sum[Bb]mer sky
To make it hurt twice when
your [F]restless body
Caves to its whims
[Bb]And suddenly struggles
to [A]take flight...

[Interlude 1]
[A][G]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]Three thousand [A]miles [D]north east
I left all my friends at [A]the morn[D]ing bus
[G]stop [A]shaking their head[D]s.
"What kind of [A]life you [D]dream of?
you're al[A]lergic to love."
[D]Yes i kno[A]w but i must say[G]
in [A]my own de[Bm]fense
It's been [F#]undeniable [G]dear to me,
i don't know [D]why
When every [G]other part of [Bm]life
seemed [C]locked behind [G]shutters
I [A]knew the worthless dregs we are,
The selfless, loving saints we are,
The melting, sliding dice we've always [D]been.
