Wisdom Teeth Frank Turner
'Wisdom Teeth' taken from 'Demo' and 'Sleep is for the Week'
Words and music by Frank Turner
Standard Tuning (EADGBe), Capo on 2nd
I've only tabbed the first instance of each chord sequence in the lyrics - the verses
all the same, the choruses ("Suddenly, well its as clear can be...") are all the same and
middle 8 ("And all the pretty little pictures...")has its own pattern. Its a very simple song.
100% right, but rather than leave the names incorrect, I've decided to change them. If
knows the names, tell me and I'll update this again.

Lyrics:
It's been [Am]18 months since I kissed you once
So j[Cmaj7]ust saying 'hi' just isn't gonna fly
But g[#1]ive me a clue, and in a minute or two
Then I [#2]might remember your name
And I hate to insist that I was really that p**sed
But to tell the truth, in my flush of youth
I would drown my sights so that faces and nights
Seemed the same
And a nervous shrug and an awkward hug
Wonā??t get me out of the hole Iā??ve dug,
So I slip the noose with a poor excuse
And talk to someone, anyone else.
And I sit with my friends and I try to pretend
That I never did that sort of thing again,
But Iā??m lying
to myself.
And [G]suddenly, well itā??s as clear as clear could be[#2]:
Iā??m no[#3]t quite the perfect man that I hoped Iā?[#2]?d be.
And though I [G]always tried to live an honest life,[#2]
To [#3]tell my truth Iā??ve told my share of[#2] lies.
I remember you, of course I do,
But I donā??t recall how many times weā??ve been through
This little game, that always ends the same,
With you sad and me far away.
And every time I repeat the line
That the faultā??s not mine and I wasnā??t unkind.
But the worst part is that Iā??ve got nothing else
to say.
And suddenly itā??s as clear as clear could be:
Iā??m not quite the perfect man that I hoped Iā??d be.
And though I always tried to live an honest life,
To tell my truth Iā??ve told my share of lies.
[B7]And all the pretty little [#3]pictures of f[D]aith and firm d[C]evotion
That I painted as a child,
[B7]Well they have fallen by the w[#3]ayside, a[D]long with all my [C]puppy-fat,
But my days have taught me this:
[B7]That every day I spend pret[#3]ending that I [D]always choose the r[C]ight path
Is a day that I choose the wrong.
Oh yes my wisdom teeth have been giving me grief ā??
They woke me up to find that Iā??m exactly the kind of
Guy I said that Iā??d rather be dead than be
In the days before I got laid.
And suddenly itā??s as clear as clear could be:
Iā??m not quite the perfect man that I hoped Iā??d be.
And I always tried to live an honest life,
[#3]To tell my truth Iā??[D]ve told my share o[#2]f lies.
