Richard Divine Frank Turner
Intro:
[F#m]
Verse 1:
[F#m]Richard Divine made up his mind to take the [Bm]last few steps to
[E]the bathroom door from his bedroom floor and to [F#m]lock himself in.
[F#m]Steady young hands, meticulous plans, disposable [Bm]razors and a
[E]blisterpack filled with strong sleeping pills, and a bath of [F#m]hot water.
Chorus 1:
[A] He said hes not for sale, s[C#7]aid that he felt hou[D]nded,
crowded and [B]surrounded by this life he didnt choose.[F#m] [F]
Verse 2:
[F#m]He carefully wrote a funerary note on his best [Bm]writing paper
[E]to set out the facts, and sealed it with wax, and left it in [F#m]the kitchen.[F]
[F#m]He left it out so his parents would know what there was [Bm]waiting for them
[E]pale cold skin and blood seeping in to the land[F#m]ing carpet.
Chorus 2:
[A] He said hes not for sale, [C#7]said that he felt ho[D]unded,
crowded and surro[B]unded by this life he didnt choose.[A]
But everybody pl[C#7]ays this game on a daily basi[D]s.
Theyre not heroes, theyre survivo[B]rs,
and its not Shakespearian if they lose.
Bridge: F#m E D C# (not sure)
[F#m]So do what you want,do what you want, do what the [E]voices tell you,
[D]but donā??t ever say, dont ever say that we didnt [C#]warn you
Because we warned you.[F#m] [F] [F#m] [F] [F#m] [F] [F#m]
Chorus 3:
[A] He said hes not for s[C#7]ale, but he bought into his fail[D]ure.
Hes telling tales that ha[B]mmer nails right into open palms.
[A] A martyr in rever[C#7]se, heā??s best at being w[D]orst,
the rest of us are cur[B]sed but we keep calm and we carry on.
Outro: F# C#7 D E F# C#7 D
[E] So Richard, here it is:
[A] None of us are blamele[C#m]ss, huddled here like strang[D]ers,
shameless in our list[E]s of all the changes we say we need.
[A] But I think that you k[C#7]new that,
D Eb (?) B
you cant pretend its news that when you cut yourself youll bleed.
