Verse 1 Chords:
C So you just stepped out of the fCront of my house
and I'll nFever see you again. C
I closed my eyes for a sCecond and when they oFpened
You weren't there. C
And the door shut shut I was Cvacuum packed,
Shrink-wFrapped out of air C
And the spine collapsed and the eCyes rolled back
To stFare at my starving brain,
Chorus Chords:
C And fully clothed, F I float aCway (I'll fCloat away)
CDown the Forth
FInto the sea, I think I'll save suicide for another dayC.
Verse 2: Use verse 1 chords
And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse
And I half run away to sleep on a rolled up coat
Against the window with the strobe of the sun
And the life I've led
Am I ready to leap is there peace beneath
The roar of the Forth road bridge?
On the Northern side there's a Fife of mine
and a boat in the port for me,
Final Chorus:
C And fully cFlothed, I float Caway (I'll fCloat away)
G C (play this C on thru the next 5 lines)
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself through drunken waves
These manic gulls scream it's okay
Take your life give it a shake
Gather up all your loose change
C F C F (to fade out)
I think I'll save suicide for another year.
