INTRO
Main Riff



VERSE 1
------------G--------------------------Csus2---
I forgot to tell you, I have smart new shoes on

----------------G*---------G-----------------D-----------
Bought with the money they gave me after the London bombs

----------------G---------------------Csus2----------
And I forgot to tell you, I've pulled myself together

------------------G*-G-------------------D-----
Gave next door the TV, stopped trying to belong



BRIDGE 1
----------------Am------
And i forgot to tell you,

-------------------------G---------------------------D
I have your thick woolen socks on,

------Am---------------------------------------------
So it feels like my feet are still touching your feet

--------------G-------------------D---
Though you're gone, though you're gone



VERSE 2
------------G-----------------------Csus2------------------
I forgot to tell you, a girl at the office lost her husband

-------------------G*---G------------------------D------
You met him at the barbecue, I've chipped in for flowers

--------G--------------------Csus2----------
And the waiting, the waiting really hurt her

-------------------G*--G------------------D-------------------
They put it on the news, but didn't phone her for eleven hours



BRIDGE 2
------Am--------------------------G-------------------D
And i realised she was looking to me

----Am---------------G--------------------------------D
For some king of solidarity

--------Am-------------------------------G------------D
I could read her thoughts, a widow and a widower

----Am--------------------------------G---------------D
But i have nothing, I have nothing to offer



CHORUS 1
--C---------------------------G-----
Today, today we stop standing around

-----------------------------Em7---
Today we're not standing our ground

-----------------------D---------------------------------
find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives

--C---------------------------Em--
Today, today we start running away

----------------------------G---
And we'll always be running away

------------------------D---------
Or the box might aswell be a grave



VERSE 3
------------G-----------------------------Csus2--
I forgot to tell you, the whole estate is talking

----G*----------G-----------------------------D--------
The police came down last night and took some boys away

-----------------G------------------------Csus2-------------
Nobody rushed to judgement in the face of their machine guns

------------G*---------G--------------------------
We know our history is better than the liars on TV

-------D---------------------
But we don't know what to say



BRIDGE 3
--------Am-------------G-----------------------------D
We just hold on to our anger

---Am--------------G---------------------------------D
We won't let it evaporate

-----Am-------------------------G--------------------D
Hold on, we won't let our anger fade



CHORUS 2
--C---------------------------G-----
Today, today we stop standing around

-----------------------------Em7---
Today we're not standing our ground

-----------------------D---------------------------------
find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives

--C---------------------------Em--
Today, today we start running away

----------------------------G---
And we'll always be running away

------------------------D---------
Or the box might aswell be a grave


Enjoy
