. Parts of some songs are actually played using power chords (E5 = 022xxx)
I tabbed these with full chords so whether they are Major or Minor doesn't make a
huge difference. Whether you play power chords or the chords shown is your choice.
. When you see a line in the lyrics below another line with no chords or space
in between, copy the chords for the line above. It's usually obvious what to play.
. For a few of the songs I dropped in the riff that makes it so catchy :-)
. Sometimes chords sound best as C-based chords e.g. E = x7645x
(chord name = lowest note). For instance an Eb x68886 might sound too high or
an F 133211 might sound too low, and could be replaced with Eb x6534x and F x8756x
. At the bottom I included simpler versions for some songs using a Capo. These are
meant to simplify the song and minimise the amount of barre chords used.

I can just imagine you and me, running out of steam, going through the motions
Fm Cm C# Bbm Cm
I have no idea how you know, when I dip my toes, in other people's oceans
Fm Eb
You have local knowledge Of the local area

We did things I thought you'd like but that just made it worse

Fm Eb
I've got wider knowledge of the world
C# Cm
I just can't face another argument about the rent
It all seems unimportant in the grander scheme of things
Cause I was purpose built to not feel guilt

So we end it at the end

4. Highroyds

A* = A B C D (when you see this quickly play these four chords)
E G A (x8)
A G F A
I remember nights out when we were young, they weren't very good they were rubbish
A G F A
Running round Highroyds isn't fun, just teenagers testing their courage
A G F A
Standing outside nightclubs in the snow, is not very cool or impressive
A G F A
They let in all the girls from the year below, no need for ID's with those dresses
A* B A B G B
Got news from afar, from a girl who knows who we are
D B A*
She's still got my dinner money, she can keep it
E G A (x8)
A G F A
Never had a fight that we haven't lost, we're not very tough or athletic
Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock, when he gets out I'll regret it
A* B A B G B
Got keys to a car, picked up a girl from Boston Spa
D B A*
For fast food and cinema, it's not worth it
B A B G B
Got word from down south, well he'd have heard about it word of mouth
D B A*
We haven't much stayed in touch, since Highroyds
B A* B A*
E G A (x8)
A G F A
Let it go, live alone and I won't know, cause no-one's gonna tell me but a friend
But he is gone and everybody went along, and nobody was left here in the end
A* B A B G B
Got news from Uncle Hew, through a second cousin once removed
D B A*
It's too late there's a housing estate, it's called Highroyds
A* B A B G B
Got a text from an ex, she wants to know when we're in London next
D B A*
Will you write a song about me, I don't think so

I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore

And I know I've said all this and that you've heard it all before

And that this was everything you've ever wanted out of here

Love's not a competition but I'm winning

Then you're out of control and you can't fill the hole

Theres a word to the wise, you should take some advice
Am
As the nice guys always finish last
Am E Am E Am
F C Em Am
You're my kind of guy cause I like your style, and you sound as horrible as me
And I don't mind if you're unkind, you're reminding me of me

And heads will roll, as it takes its toll, on you and me

You thought that we should read it, I wouldn't even know how to

C Dm Em Dm (x2)
C Dm Em Dm
We went to the youth club and we looked out of place
C Dm Em Dm
I didn't know where to look so I, looked at your face

But you were a boxing champ, and I was a weakling
C Dm Em Dm
You didn't give me a chance, you gave me a beating
F G
And I thank you very much that you did
C Dm Em Dm
And as the time went by we stayed out of trouble
C Dm Em Dm
Before I could realise my age had doubled
Am G
The man I became is a tragic bore
F Em
And he's not a boxing champ anymore

If there's one thing I've learnt it's to run away

At least I enjoy what I do today

What are you waiting for, get up off your seat

I don't mean to be a dick, I just don't like the changes
F Em Dm Am
And I can't help things I say, you know I wouldn't to strangers
F Em Dm Am
But I don't like going away, cause it puts me in danger
C G Am
Am G F#m F (x2)
Am G F#m F
I can tell you now, there ain't a problem can't be solved
With a good old fashioned row, so grit your teeth and stand your ground
And it's not hard to tell, that I learnt my lesson well
But I'm still waiting for, the man to come with all my things
C D C D
What are you waiting for, get up off your seat

F#m C# F D
There are many things that I would be proud of
Bm D
If I'd only invented them such as the wheel
F#m C# F D
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
Bm D
On these inventions surely I could retire
F#m C# F D
I want to retire, no longer required
Bm D
I want to get by without the man on my back
F#m C# F D
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
Bm D
I must go out on a high, and tell nobody why
F#m C# E B (x2)
F#m C# F D
There are many things that I know I could do
Bm D
If I'd only have wanted to, such as create
The perfect soulmate everyone would admire
On this creation surely I could retire
I want to retire, no longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time
F#m C# E B (x8)
F#m C# F D
Now my place in history is surely assured
Bm D
I will be remembered here forever more
Brand new product in place and a potential buyer
Up on this next transaction surely I could retire
I want to retire, no longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time
