- or
Did you ever have to do the thing you swore youd never do
Something filthy and impatient, something churlish bold and shrewd
Well sit down my boy and Ill tell you exactly how I crawled right
through
Gather in your confidence and hear the story of a man who came
undone
- again
First you weigh up your commitments where your loyalties really lie
And if you bump into Jesus you just look him in the eye
Tell him that youre fine silently return to sharpening your knife
Finally when the time comes think of who you really need
And close your eyes so tightly you think theyll bleed
SAME THING - GET THE JIST?
Dont drop your guard dont let them know the thoughts inside your head
Just do what youve always done though they all wish you were dead
theyll crush your heart your spirit and your soul but keep your eyes ahead
And you know when the time comes therell be nowhere new to hide
Hell just be in your heart and youll lose pride
- X3
- X3 -
Never break the line
never click your heels in time
If your hearts anything like mine thats not the way
Dont get comfortable down there
dont pretend that its always fair
with your fingers crossed its not your loss
FEm7 - Run up to F#m7
If you really want to you can stay
You can stay
Gm7 - A7(3rd and 5th frets) x3? B - B??(same as B with Dstring fingered on the 3rd fret
of 4th)
ALTERNATELY JUST PLAY THE RUN DOWNS WHICH ARE IN THE CHORDS ABOVE
does a cheeky A-B before going back into the last verse
