G5                       D5
I?ll start my life out on the sea 
E5                 C5
Away from waving families 
        G5             D5
Found washed in walking on the beach
        E5           C5
In the fishing town in june

          G5                D5
I?ll have all my words for company
  E5                C5
A few shards of new currency 
   G5                 D5
A lamp to show the evening in
     E5             C5
And wake me when it leaves 

          E5              D5
But here I am , still on these sands

G5                           D5
Well if these tall buildings part from me 
           E5           C5 
Then I?ll swim myself to sovereignty
       G5              D5
No people creeping, marching streets
       E5           C5
Will keep me from my seas 

G5                          D5
Well if all my things are packed and neat
E5                   C5
Quick stiff joint to help me sleep 
G5                      D5
Then I?ll wade out till it?s too deep
   E5         C5
And row myself away 

         E5               D5       E5                                     
By here I am , still on these sands, with you.

         D5    C5
Here?s to your piss city 
        D5   C5  E5
Cause I save this modern law 


         D5    C5
Here?s to your piss city 
        D5   C5  E5
Cause I save this modern law 


G5 , D5 , E5 , C5 x2

         D5    C5
Here?s to your piss city 
        D5   C5  E5
Cause I save this modern law 


         D5    C5
Here?s to your piss city 
        D5   C5  E5
Cause I save this modern law 


          G5                    D5
It seems weeks since you have talked to me
         E5           C5
Whilst I build my new economy 
    G5          D5
Of practicing excuses of 
       E5           C5
Why it is I have to leave 

            G5                  D5
I said if these tall buildings part from me 
      E5             C5 
But I guess that only works for me
       G5                  D5
Of working out why these streets 
       E5         C5
Have never been my home

   
       D5               G5
And yes I know, I will row alone
