Вступление
BPM: 97
Single Released: 1 Oct 2019
Note: * after chord means strike chord once and let it ring.
Capo: 1 fret
Alternate or different capo fret positions are easily possible by using the transpose
button below.
The chords will automatically adapt to the new capo position.
Plus 1 on the transpose button means capo fret position one down; minus one
means capo one fret up.
Using the Transpose button can affect the placement of the chords in the line. Small
movements of the chords on the line are possible (depends on length chord names).
Example: To play this without capo set the transpose button at +1.
Half step down tuning set the transpose button at +2.
[Verse 1]
G
I found health in life in motion,
Dsus4
But I could be like you,
Cadd9
On the streets of Barcelona,
EmD
Flirting with substance abuse,
G
I come here hat in hand,
Dsus4
Please chuck a penny my way,
Cadd9
And I’ll catch it with my teeth,
EmD
And arf like a seal.
[Verse 2]
G
I’m so lonely and so gutted,
Dsus4
Like a trout,
Cadd9
Whilst you are the fisherman,
EmD
I swim the stream of self-doubt,
G
And if I could be so lucky,
Dsus4
You will pluck me from the sea,
Cadd9
Before I build my own coffin,
EmD
From IKEA carpentry.
[Verse 3]
GDsus4
I’m an animal born to be ferries to an abattoir,
Cadd9
We’re kinda all the same,
EmD
A bunch of vicious carnivores,
G
Both literally and figuratively,
Dsus4
Feed me meat,
Cadd9
I’ll drink milk before bed,
EmD
And this cosy van sleep.
[Chorus]
CDG
Because good things come and then they end,
Dsus4
It’s cruel I suppose,
CDG
How love ends as quick as it begins,
Dsus4
So I left my home,
CDGD
I’ve burned the candle, but I’m up for a fight,
CD* Cadd9Dsus4GD
Let’s drink in the day and pretend it’s night.
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
G
I love my tinpot operation,
D
I am a shoe string radio,
C
AM station,
EmD
Broadcasting direct to you,
G
Some songs of alienation,
D
To penetrate your ears,
C
Cut a slice out of your brain,
EmD
As I feed you my tears.
[Verse 5]
G
I am a grand dictator,
D
The conductor of this orchestra,
CEmD
The unhinged pariah of the pop punk cornucopia,
G
We’re all content creators,
D
In a scary world of narcissists,
C
In the age of shaming,
EmD
The shameless become kings,
G
But if I could forge a helmet,
D
In Jess’s dad’s basement,
C
Maybe I could join the melee,
EmD
And keep my heart beating steady.
[Chorus]
CDG
Because good things come and then they end,
Dsus4
It’s cruel I suppose,
CDG
How love ends as quick as it begins,
Dsus4
So I left my home,
CDGD
I’ve burned the candle, but I’m up for a fight,
CD* Cadd9Dsus4GD
Let’s drink in the day and pretend it’s night.

[Verse 6]
G*
The blissful moment you wake up,
D*
And don’t know who or where you are,
C*
Before it all comes flooding in,
Em* D*
The private hell that you’ve patched together,
G* D*
The moments in my life that I keep in captivity,
C*
Like when I learned to play guitar,
Em* D*
Captained the football C team,
G
I should have stayed at home,
D
And found passion in the algebra,
C
Saw wonder in a test tube,
EmD
Fought in court of law,
G
I Was an inch off the goal posts,
Dsus4
Now I’m cradled in row Z,
Cadd9EmDsus4Dsus4
Found myself more American than I ever hoped to be.
[Chorus]
CDG
Because good things come and then they end,
Dsus4
It’s cruel I suppose,
CDG
How love ends as quick as it begins,
Dsus4
So I left my home,
CDGD
I’ve burned the candle, but I’m up for a fight,
CD* G
Let’s drink in the day and pretend it’s night.
[Outro]
GDsus4Cadd9
When I was a kid, I wanted to drive a tractor and play the violin,
EmD
Cause there was candy on offer,
G
Instead I played piano,
Dsus4
I oogle at pick-up trucks,
Cadd9
Just pacing the dark,
EmD
I am a failure in the muck,
C
Or is it mire,
Cm
Forever and ever . . . Aymen
G*
