    E5    B5       E5      B5
Shut out, pimpled and angry
    E5     B5            A5          B5
I quietly tied all my guts into knots
E5     B5  E5         B5    
Gave up trying to make 'em
E5             B5            A5            B5
Figured it'd take 'em too long to look up

C#minor              E5          A5                    E5  
And besides, it was undeniably clear to me, I dunno why
           C#minor         D5                        A5
When every other part of love seemed locked behind shutters
    B5  
I knew the worthless dregs we've always been

E5       B5               E5        B5
Lucked out, found my favourite record
E5         B5            A5         B5
Lying in wait at the Birmingham Mall
E5     B5            E5           B5        E5
The songs that I heard, the occasional book
          B5    A5      B5        Ab5
Were the only fun I ever took
       A5            B5      E5
And I got on with making myself

Ab5       A5        B5                   C5
Now the trick is just making yourself
C5                                              G5
But when they're parking their cars on your chest
G5                                       C5
You've still got a view of the summer sky
C5                                 G5                           C5
To make it hurt twice when your restless body caves to it's whim
C5                                 B5
And suddenly struggles to take flight

Repeat Intro

E5                B5          E5
Three thousand miles north-east
    B5           E5              B5      A5         B5             E5
I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads
E5              B5             E5           B5          E5
What kind of life you dream of? You're allergic to love
       B5          A5           B5       C#minor
Yes I know but I must say in my own defense
           E5           A5                  E5  
It's been undeniably dear to me, I dunno why
            C#minor        E5           A5              E5
When every other part of love seemed locked behind shutters
   B5 
I knew the worthless dregs we are
The selfless, loving saints we are
                                         E5
The melting, sliding dice we've always been
