Frank Turner - My kingdom for a horse

Would you ^Bmpick your clothes up, put your clothes on, Pack your things an^Dmd go? ^A I’m tired of sinking this l^Bow. ^BmAwkward semi-naked coffee conversations f^Dade, ^A Quicker than mistakes that were made. ^BmMornings when I’m coming down, being driven round the be^Dnd, ^A Make for days when I’m ^Closing my ^Bfriends For ^Emall the little things that I have d^Gone and cannot make ame^Ands.

^{G D}Don’t you ever kind of w^Gish that the world would just st^Aop? ^DThat the band would pack ^Gup and the curtain would d^Arop? ^DI’ve been stuck inside the s^Game old nights, the same old days o^Aff, And I n^Eeed you now because I c^Gan’t get out of this.

^BmClean your mirrors, roll your notes out, Put your cards aw^Dmay. ^A That’s a game that I don’t want to play anym^Bore. My h^Bmead is sore, my throat is raw, and what’s more I’m f^Difty pounds down to feel e^Ampty and ^Bpoor, ^EmRemembering the things that I bel^Gieved when I was sober and ^Asure.

^{G D} Don’t you ever kind of wi^Gsh that the world would just st^Aop? ^D That the band would pack u^Gp and the curtain would dr^Aop? ^D I’ve been stuck inside the s^Game old nights, the same old days o^Aff, And I ^Eneed you now because I ca^Gn’t get out of this.

And I’m ^Bmtrying ^C#to sp^Deak ^Estraight, ^GBut I’m drunk and I’m lonely and ^F#myou won’t bel^Aieve me, And I’m ^Bmtrying ^C#to ^Dsee ^Estraight, ^GBut I’ve been up for days and it scares you away, ^{F#m E} And I’m t^Bmrying^C#m to k^Deep st^Eraight, But I^G’d trade it all for just five minutes more Of your w^F#mandering ^Ehands with their ^Dsimple d^Aemands that are ^EmAll the things I ever wanted, better than the powder and p^Aills, Honey, your ^Emall the things I ever needed, the only thing that doesn’t seem to k^Aill, That s^Ctill makes me smile.

^G So if I tell you all the little ^Cthings that I think that I ^Dneed, ^G Will you tell me how to tell the ^Cworld from the woods from the ^Dtrees? ^G Because I’ve been stuck inside my ^Ccomforting familiar dis^Dease, And I n^Aeed you now because I ^Ccan’t get out, And a^All over Europe the l^Cights are going out, And I’m ^Apulling down the curtain, but every ^Ctime I reach out You’re ^Emgone.
