*from 'The Coral' (2002)*


Intro:

Bm  Em, D  F#7 (x2)

Verse 1:

Bm          Em   D              F#7
 I remember when, I saw the sea freeze.
Bm           Em      D                        F#7
 But it said nothing, about the birds and the bees.
          Bm                 Em
They were swarming around my head;
D                    F#7
 You'd be better off dead.

Bridge 1:

      G                     F#m
But I ain't going down like that.
  G                     F#m
I ain't going down like that.

Chorus 1:

         Bm                    Em
'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,
    D                     F#7
You know where I'm coming from.
        Bm                Em
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
D                          F#7
 That is the truth and the truth is grim.

         Bm                Em
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,
     D                           F#7
Your father has died, while he's gripped for bail.
   Bm                        Em
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest,
    D                   F#7
And wants you to be his special guest.

Interlude:

G     F#m G    F#m
 Oo...oh,  oo..oh.

Verse 2:

Bm          Em   D                 F#7
 I remember when, I saw the leaves fall.
Bm            Em
 I was in the woods,
        G                             F#7
And the gown you wouldn't wear to the Ball.
Bm                Em  D                 F#7
 Into the ditch I fly; wanted dead or a-live.

Bridge 2:

      G                     F#m
But I ain't going down like that.
      G                     F#m
No, I ain't going down like that.

Chorus 2:

         Bm                    Em
'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,
    D                     F#7
You know where I'm coming from.
        Bm                Em
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
D                          F#7
 That is the truth and the truth is grim.

         Bm                Em
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,
     D                           F#7
Your father has died, while he's gripped for bail.
   Bm                        Em
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest,
    D                   F#7
And wants you to be his special guest.

 Oo...oh,  oo..oh.
