Chords
	 
[Intro]
G D Em7 Cadd9 G
[Verse]
D
I remember the sickness was forever
Em7 Cadd9 G
I remember snuff videos
D
Cold Septembers, the distances we covered
Em7 Cadd9 G
The fist fights on the beach, the bizzies round us up
D
Do it all again next week
Embryonic love
Em7 Cadd9
The first time that it scarred
G
Embarrass yourself for someone
D
Crying like a child
And the boy who kicked Tom’s head in
Em7 Cadd9
Still bugs me now
G
That’s the thing it lingers
D
And claws you when you’re down
[Instrumental]
Em7 Cadd9 G D
[Verse]
I was far too scared to hit him
Em7 Cadd9
But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
G
That’s the thing with anger
D
It begs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
Em7 Cadd9
And leave you spent with nowt to offer
G
It makes you hurt the ones who love you
D
You hurt them like they’re nothing
Em7 Cadd9 G

D
You hurt them like they’re nothing
[Instrumental]
Em7 Cadd9 G D
[Verse]
See I spent my teens enraged
Em7 Cadd9
Spiralling in silence
G
And arm myself with a grin
D
Cos I was always the fuckin’ joker
Buried in the humour
Em7 Cadd9
Amongst the white noise and boys’ boys
G
Locker room talkin’ lads’ lads
D
Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Em7 Cadd9
Oh god the kid’s a dab hand
G
Canny chanter but he looks sad
D
God, the kid looks so sad
Em7 Cadd9 G

D
God, the kid looks so sad
[Instrumental]
Em7 Cadd9 G
[Verse]
D
She said the debt, the debt, the debt
Em7
So I thought about shifting gear
Cadd9
And how she wept and wept and wept
G
Luck came and died round here
D
I see my mother
The DWP see a number
Em7 Cadd9
She cries on the floor encumbered
G
I’m seventeen going under
D
I’m seventeen going under
[Instrumental]
Em7 Cadd9 G
[Outro]
D
I’m seventeen going under
Em7 Cadd9 G

D
I’m seventeen going under
Em7 Cadd9 G D
