Frank Turner â?? Richard Devine
Chords by Neil Wicker
The other version isn't the way Frank plays it so I thought I'd do a more accurate version.
Capo 2
[Em]Richard Divine made up his mind to take the l[Am]ast few steps
to t[D]he bathroom door from his bedroom floor and to lock him[Em]self in.
Steady young hands, meticulous plans,
disposable r[Am]azors and a [D]blisterpack filled with strong sleeping pills,
and a bath of hot wa[Em]ter.
He s[G]aid heâ??s not for[B7] sale, said that he felt h[C]ounded,
crowded and s[Am]urrounded by this life he didnâ??t[Em] choose.
[Em]He carefully wrote a funerary note
on his best wr[Am]iting paper to s[D]et out the facts,
and sealed it with wax, and left it in the kit[Em]chen.
He left it out so his parents would know what there was wa[Am]iting for them:
[D]pale cold skin and blood seeping in to the landing ca[Em]rpet.
[G]He said heâ??s not for[B7] sale, said that he felt ho[C]unded,
crowded and surr[Am]ounded by this life he didnâ??t choose.[G]
But everybody plays t[B7]his game on a daily bas[C]is.
Theyâ??re not heroes, theyâ??r[Am]e survivors,
and itâ??s not Shakespearian if they lose.
[Em]So do what you want, do what you want, do what the [Am]voices tell you,
but don[D]â??t ever say that we didnâ[Em]??t warn you.
cause we warned you
[G]He said heâ??s not for[B7] sale, but he bought into his f[C]ailure.
Heâ??s telling tales that [Am]hammer nails right into open [G]palms.
[G]A martyr in re[B7]verse, heâ??s best at being w[C]orst,
the rest of us are c[Am]ursed but we keep calm and we carry o[G]n.
G, B7, C, Am x2
So Richard, here it is:[G] none of us are bla[B7]meless, huddled here like
[C]strangers,
shameless in our li[Am]sts of all the changes we say we ne[G]ed.
But I think that you k[B7]new that,
you canâ??t pretend itâ?[C]?s news that when you cut yourself youâ[Am]??ll bleed.
