Intro
A A+
Verse 1:
A A+
This is where the truth begins, where teardrops glance the sallow skin,
D E
you lose your will and I can lend you mine.
A A+ D
The Westway wall’s so tall and bleak, reflect the words we dare not speak,
E E F
by the bottle’s end we may have done our time.
Prechorus 1:
F#m Bm
What you want’s to stay away from people like me,
A
who twist most everything they see,
E F#m E
and leave the grey old world behind you.
Chorus 1:
A E F#m D A
So sew it up, Kid, have some clout, we’ll do some wine and fall about,
E F#m F#m E
the sun will shine again tomorrow.
A E F#m D A
Look beyond the parapet, we are just bums lest you forget,
E F#m F#m F
we can beg, steal and borrow.
Fill 1:
E
Verse 2:
A
Well you said the pills would sort me out,
A+ D
embolden me against the manifestations of fear and doubt,
E
I just forgot who I used to be.
A A+ D
So now I’m strung somewhere between a dream, and humdrum day-to-day routine,
E E F
a laurel wreath on the door to my heart.
Prechorus 2:
F#m Bm
What you want’s to wash your face and try to breathe,
A
forget your mind and shut your eyes so that you can’t see,
E F#m E
and leave the grey old world behind you.

For all the friends you've ever met, well some you’ll love and some forget,

just hold on for tomorrow.

D C#m D
So here’s to now, and all of us of course,
the hearts we tried to make a brand new start,
F#m E F#m A
may the fabric never tear us apart.
D C#m D
And some day when, we're in the cold,
here's a semblance, we can hope so, the proposal,
F#m
and put it on your heart for me.

So now I move, and if you’re in,

it wouldn’t hurt just to give it a try and win,
E E F
don’t forget who you're meant to be.
Prechorus 3:

What you want’s to get a bike and do wheelies,

I bet you can’t do ‘em half as good as me,

throw it out, when it's over it's over.

So sew it up, Kid, have some clout, we’ll go to mine and sulk about,
E F#m F#m E
how the sun will shine tomorrow.

For all the friends you’ve not yet met, well some would die for you I bet,
E F#m F#m E
so hold on for tomorrow.

So sew it up, Kid, have some clout, we'll go to mine and fuck about,
E F#m F#m E
the sun will shine again tomorrow.

For all the friends you've not yet met, well some would die for you I bet,

so hold on for tomorrow.

This is where the truth begins, for more than seven deadly sins,

you lose your will, I may have hurt your mind.
