Sticks 'N' Stones Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Pre-chorus 1]
[D]When there's no one left to fight
[A]Boys like him don't shine so bright
[G]Soon as I see the dust settle
He's out on the town tryin' to find trouble
[D]When there's no one left to fight
[A]Boys like him don't shine so bright
[G]Soon as I see the dust settle
He's out on the town tryin' to find trouble

[Verse 1]
I took a [D]train again away from shame
And blame a city pained to see
A [A]friend I hadn't seen
since I was drinking underage
I was a [G]ten a day, how'd you say, little shit
White lightning, heightening all my courage,
quick wit
We were [D]thick as thieves and wannabes
Buttoned shirts and whiskey
[A]Mutton dressed as lamb a fan of bands
Like the Jam Jam [G]Jam Jam
I don't know who I am,
he said I dunno if I can

[Pre-chorus 2]
I said yeah man, you can-can
[D]When there's no one left to fight
[A]Boys like him don't shine so bright
[G]Soon as I see the dust settle
He's out on the town tryin' to find trouble
[D]When there's no one left to fight
[A]Boys like him don't shine so bright
[G]Soon as I see the dust settle

[Verse 2]
He's out on the town tryin' to find trouble
[D]Drunk and being sick, I feel like shit I gotta quit
I hope I haven't missed the last train
Gonna be stuck in Hampton Wick
With the [G]boys across the platform
Shouting lightweight prick
I'm a featherweight champion,
cheap to get pissed
Wish [D]Candy were here with me,
she'd deffa deal with it
Tell 'em all to shut their mouths
and go suck their mommas dicks
'Cause [G]she ain't no she ain't that low,
three fingers down

[Chorus 1]
Or the other two up, and I'll sing this proud
[D]Runnin' with believers, no time for [A]fever
And I haven't got time for you [G]either
With your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones
I take 'em home on my own
[D]Runnin' with believers, no time for [A]fever
And I haven't got time for you [G]either
With your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones
I take 'em home on my own

[Verse 3]
As I [D]travel down the track
all my memories flood back
We were run[A]nin' at ease from enemies
Back to your momma's flat
It's the [G]only place but home
I feel relaxed enough to crap
I know it sounds crude,
but there's something in that
How's [D]Danny doin'?
Hear he's high flyin' and that
Stock[A]broker in the city with a lady and a baby
And [G]Fee, is she free from the demons she had

[Chorus 2]
Was it two months clean, routine to relapse
[D]Runnin' with believers, no time for [A]fever
And I haven't got time for you [G]either
With your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones
I take 'em home on my own
[D]Runnin' with believers, no time for [A]fever
And I haven't got time for you [G]either
With your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones
I take 'em home on my own

[Verse 4]
She [D]smoked all of your weed
That's why the loved ones out to leave
Why when you take the lead
they stab you in the back
'Til you can't breathe,
when you're [G]bleeding on the floor
And no one hears your call at all
She screamed out to the party
You are sheeps and cattle
I was [D]hanging out with Louie
in the shooting gallery
When the news got through to me
about you and Jeremy
[G]Pat on my back, and a swig on my brew
You're still my friend,
it's impossible to hate you
[D]Cradle to the grave,
I know we always misbehave
[A]People latch down
and then they rain on our parade
[G]Girls we love leave
when we want them to stay

[Pre-chorus 3]
Like today, remember, what Joey say?
[D]When there's no one left to fight
[A]Boys like him don't shine so bright
[G]Soon as I see the dust settle

[Chorus 3]
He's out on the town tryin' to find trouble
[D]Runnin' with believers, no time for [A]fever
And I haven't got time for you [G]either
With your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones
I take 'em home on my own
[D]Runnin' with believers, no time for [A]fever
And I haven't got time for you [G]either
With your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones

[Chorus 4]
I take 'em home on my own
[D]Runnin' with believers, no time for [A]fever
And I haven't got time for you [G]either
With your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones
I take 'em home on my own
[D]Runnin' with believers, no time for [A]fever
And I haven't got time for you [G]either
With your sticks n' stones, sticks n' stones
I take 'em home on my own
[D]
