[Intro 1]
[Am][G][G]
[C][F][C]
[Am]I remem

[Verse 1]
[G]ber the sickness was forever
[C]I r[F]emember snuff video[C]s
[Am]Cold Sep[G]tembers, the distances we covered
The fist fights [C]on the [F]beach,
the bizzies round us [C]up
Do it all a[Am]gain next [G]week
An embryonic love
The first time [C]that it [F]scarred
Embarrass yourself for [C]someone
Crying [Am]like a [G]child
And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
Still [C]bugs me [F]now
That's the thing, it [C]lingers
And claws you [Am]when you're down

[Interlude 1]
[G][G][C]
[F][C][Am]

[Verse 2]
[G]I was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a [C]heartbeat [F]now
That's the thing with [C]anger
It begs to stick [Am]around
[G]So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with [C]nowt to [F]offer
It makes you hurt the ones who [C]love you
You hurt them [Am]like they're nothing

[Bridge 1]
[G][G]
(Oh- oh- [C]ooh...)[F][C]
You hurt them [Am]like they're nothing
[G][G]
(Oh- oh- [C]ooh...)[F][C]
You hurt them [Am]like they're [G]nothing
(Oh- oh- [C]ooh...)[F][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
[G]See I spent my teens enraged,
spiral[C]ing in [F]si lence
And I armed myself with a [C]grin
'Cause I was always the [Am]fuckin' [G]joker
Buried in their humor
Amongst the white [C]noise and [F]boys, boys
Locker-room talkin' [C]lads, lads
Drenched in [Am]cheap drink and [G]snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Oh God, the [C]kid's a [F]dab hand
Canny chanter, but he looks [C]sad
God, the [Am]kid looks so

[Bridge 2]
[G]sad[G]
[C][F][C]
God, the [Am]kid looks s[G]o [G]sad
[C][F][C]
[Am]She said the

[Verse 4]
[G]debt, the debt, the debt
So I thought about shifting gear
[C]And how she wep[F]t and wept and wept
[C]Luck came and died 'round here
I [Am]see my m[G]other
The DWP see a number
She cries on the [C]floor en[F]cumbered
I'm seventeen going [C]under
I'm seven[Am]teen going

[Outro 1]
