Introduction: Play chords Ab D# Ab C# B 2nd time play chords Ab D# Ab D# Verse: F# G# A I went down to the tracks B(reg) C#(reg) G# thinking what they might say to me. F# G# A But they just stared back B(reg) C#(reg) G# broken, trainless and black as night. Then play Ab verse: Climbed out onto my roof, so I'd be a poet in the night. Beat the walls of my room, I saw the big room that is this life. Chorus: G# E(reg) This is my Condition, E var. during this part the bass plays: E G# A B Naked and hysterical, reaching to grab a hand that I just slapped back at. G# E(reg) This is my Condition E var. as above. Desperate, alone, without an excuse, tried to explain, Christ what's the use. At the end of the chorus the guitar does a hammer on repeatedly, on the 3rd string notes 8/9. Intro: Verse: Read and I felt so small, some words keep speaking when you close the book. Drank and just about smiled, then I remember us in that bed. Put my ear to the door, I just heard hot rods and gunshots and sirens. People kill me these days, they have keys in their eyes but they lock from the inside. Chorus: Outro: play Ab then 3rd-|-----13/14----13----11--| D# Continue this for A while then: Ab(reg) C#(reg) B(reg) A then repeat outro till he stops talking.
