This is a really great tune off his EP, I hope I have got this right but it sounds 
right to me, saw him play it live once and he played it with a capo on the 2nd, 
have a listen to the original for the strumming rhythm.


Capo 2     Key of D
C Em F G  

Verse:           
C
I been bumming around, been wasting my time, 
Em
sometimes my life it goes out of line,
F                                   G
the only thing that’s got me now is time.

Cause I’ve been playing some songs to a room full of drones,
not a single one caring and I’m hearing the moans
and its just the same old s**t! How much they owe one their loans

but they'll spark up a fag, and drink down 6 pints
and they'll get real loud and they'll try pick a fight
and its pistols till dawn or until it gets light


Chorus:
Am  
so im trying to get out, and ill search for that fame
F    
but i wont sell out, just give me my name 
C
ill write my own songs that come from my brain
G
and to sing them out loud its the name of my game


Verse:
my life rolls on from night to night
not caring about sleeping or if i might
the only thing i know, is how not to fight

ive been on the road for 6 years now, 
playing in the bars where they're playing cards. 
and where the football shows on every screen like the stars

sometimes its hot and sometimes its not
sometimes its wet, and im soaked to the bone, 
and sometimes i long to be tucked up warm, at home


Chorus


Verse:
but the tv's killed the way we think, 
the talent shows with their cover shit
every sheep sings the same damn fucking songs, 

the way we laugh, the way we sing, 
the way no one gets up to do their own thing
just turn up today and you'll be a star in the spring

cause ill play my own songs and ill right my own lines
and ill live my mistakes and ill ride on the highs
and ill remember the lows, but i wont go there any time .... soon


and then chorus to finnish


Enjoy. 

any comments would be greatly appreciative, this is the first tab I have ever done 
so any correction also welcome.
