Verse 1 Chords:
[G]  So you just stepped out of the f[D]ront of my house
and I'll n[C]ever see you again.  [G]
I closed my eyes for a s[D]econd and when they o[C]pened
You weren't there. [G]
And the door shut shut I was [D]vacuum packed,
Shrink-w[C]rapped out of air  [G]
And the spine collapsed and the e[D]yes rolled back
To st[C]are at my starving brain,

[G]   And fully clothed, [C]  I float a[G]way (I'll f[D]loat away)
[G]Down the Forth
[C]Into the sea, I think I'll save suicide for another day[G].

Use verse 1 chords
And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse
And I half run away to sleep on a rolled up coat
Against the window  with the strobe of the sun
And the life I've led
Am I ready to leap is there peace beneath
The roar of the Forth road bridge?
On the Northern side there's a Fife of mine
and a boat in the port for me,

Final Chorus:
[G]  And fully c[C]lothed, I float [G]away (I'll f[D]loat away)
G                C  (play this C on thru the next 5 lines)
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself through drunken waves
These manic gulls scream it's okay
Take your life give it a shake
Gather up all your loose change
I think I'll save suicide for another year.[G]  [C]    [G]      [C]
