. Parts of some songs are actually played using power chords (E5 = 022xxx)
I tabbed these with full chords so whether they are Major or Minor doesn't make a
huge difference. Whether you play power chords or the chords shown is your choice.
. When you see a line in the lyrics below another line with no chords or space
in between, copy the chords for the line above. It's usually obvious what to play.
. For a few of the songs I dropped in the riff that makes it so catchy :-)
. Sometimes chords sound best as C-based chords e.g. E = x7645x
(chord name = lowest note). For instance an Eb x68886 might sound too high or
an F 133211 might sound too low, and could be replaced with Eb x6534x and F x8756x
. At the bottom I included simpler versions for some songs using a Capo. These are
meant to simplify the song and minimise the amount of barre chords used.

And it'sBbm only cos you came here with your bC#rothers too
If you caFmme here on your own you'd be dBbmead
It's Bbmonly cause you follow what the oC#thers do
It's no eFmxcuse to say your easily lBbmead
C#mYou could choose aBbmnythinAg, you choose to lose agF#ain and again
You could do anything, why should you do anything again
And its oBbmnly cause you came here with your bC#rothers too
If you cFmame here on your own you'd be dBbmead
You're wBbminding yourself up until your tC#urning blue
ReFmpeating everything that you rBbmead
G#So here we go with the letter F# Fm
G#Well can you fix it for me F# Fm
BBecause we need entertainmentEbm C#
BTo keep us all off the streets

You can stop anything, it's starts with just one and turns to two then three
It'sBbm only cos you came here with your bC#rothers too
If you caFmme here on your own you'd be dBbmead
Raise a Bbmglass or two, you raise a fC#ist or two
And gFmet a shopping basket wrapped round your Bbmhead

FmI can just imagine you and Cmme, running out of sC#team, going through the BbmmotiCmons
FmI have no idea how you kCmnow, when I dip my tC#oes, in other people's BbmoceaCmns
FmYou have local knowledge Of the lEbocal area
And that impC#ressed me quite, so I tCmried that night
FmWe did things I thought you'd like but tEbhat just made it worse
And I impC#ressed you not well Cmnot a lot
BbmSo we start it from the start
When the hFmeat dies down I'll be bCmack in town
And uC#ntil that time I'll be rBbmound at mine
When the hFmeat dies down I'll be Cmback in town
And uC#ntil that time I'll be rBbmound at mine
When the hFmeat dies dCmown, when the hC#eat dies dBbmown
When the hFmeat dies dCmown, when the hC#eat dies dBbmown
Fm Cm C# Bbm (x4)
FmI can not imagine growing oCmld to have and to hC#old til death do part each BbmotheCmr
Cos I doubt I could storm at 20 years, spending time at hers, talking to that mother
FmI've got wider knowledge of the wEborld
I just can't face another arC#gument abCmout the rent
It all seems unimportant in the grander scheme of things
Cause I was purpose built to not feel guilt
BbmSo we end it at the end
When the hFmeat dies down, I'll be bCmack in town,
And untC#il that time, I'll be rBbmound at mine
When the heat dies down, I'll be back in town,
And until that time, I'll be round at mine
When the hFmeat dies dCmown, when the hC#eat dies Bbmdown
When the heat dies down, when the heat dies down

A* = A B C D (when you see this quickly play these four chords)
E G A (x8)
AI remember nights out wGhen we were young, they wFeren't very good they were ruAbbish
ARunning round Highroyds iGsn't fun, just tFeenagers testing their cAourage
AStanding outside nightclubs Gin the snow, iFs not very cool or impAressive
AThey let in all the girls from the yGear below, Fno need for ID's with those Adresses
A* B A B G B
Got news from afar, from a girl who knows who we are
D B A*
She's still got my dinner money, she can keep it
E G A (x8)
ANever had a fight that we haGven't lost, we'Fre not very tough or athlAetic
Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock, when he gets out I'll regret it
A* B A B G B
Got keys to a car, picked up a girl from Boston Spa
D B A*
For fast food and cinema, it's not worth it
BGot word from down souAthB, well he'd have heard about it Gword of moutBh
D B A*
We haven't much stayed in touch, since Highroyds
B A* B A*
E G A (x8)
ALet it go, lGive alone and I won't know, cFause no-one's gonna tell me but a frAiend
But he is gone and everybody went along, and nobody was left here in the end
A* B A B G B
Got news from Uncle Hew, through a second cousin once removed
D B A*
It's too late there's a housing estate, it's called Highroyds
A* B A B G B
Got a text from an ex, she wants to know when we're in London next
D B A*
Will you write a song about me, I don't think so

E D A G (x2)
ENone of the buildings even lDook the same
AAnd underneath them all the sGhops have changed
EI don't pretend they've got a lDot more brains
AStocking much for young profeGssionals to stay in
I can Bmdo it, I can Dsus2do it, I can Bmdo it, I can Dsus2do it withoGut you
I can Bmdo it, I can Dsus2do it, I can Bmdo it, I can Dsus2do it withoGut you
EOn the tunnel to the nDorth again
AEverybody has to tGalk on the train
EAnd if you've got nothing that's cDlever to say
ANobody's listening to you aGnyway
I can Bmdo it, I can Dsus2do it, I can Bmdo it, I can Dsus2do it withGout you
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you
But it wouldn't be vEmery good
A Em A Em A Em A Em
C Am C Am E
La la la, la la la la la la la la la ...
DWhat you want hereE, it doesn't matter
FI don't think that it cGan be done without you
DWhat you doing,E it doesn't matter
FBut everything that's dGone is all about you
EWe convince each other nDothing has changed
ANobody else will ever wrGite the same
EThe adaptation for the stage iDs not blamed
AFor your protection all the naGmes have been changed, but
I can Bmdo it, I can Dsus2do it, I can Bmdo it, I can do Dsus2it withoGut you
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Am G# Am G# (x7)
AmWell it starts as a joke like a sBbtick in the spokes
Or removing the bolt on the bAmrakes
AmThen the bicycle flips crushing rBbibs smashing hips
And he broke every bone in his fAmace
Am G# Am G# (x2)
AmThen you're out of control and you cBban't fill the hole
That was left by the thrill of the cAmhase
AmYou're a right piece of work all the fBblakes go berserk
Have you forgotten how good they tAmaste
Am E Am E Am
You're Fmy kind of guy, cause I lCike your style, and you sEmound as horrible as Amme
And FI don't mind if yoCu're unkind, you're remEminding me of me
Am G# Am G# (x4)
AmAs the bicycle race gathers sBbpeed, gathers pace
And you feel that you're going too fAmast
AmTheres a word to the wise, you should tBbake some advice
As the nice guys always finish lAmast
Am E Am E Am
You're Fmy kind of guy cause I liCke your style, and you soEmund as horrible as Amme
And I don't mind if you're unkind, you're reminding me of me
You're my kind of guy cause I like your style, and you sound as horrible as me
And heads will roll, as it takes its toll, on you and me

The perfect soulmate everyone would admire

I want to retire, no longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time
F#m C# E B (x8)
F#mNow my place in hC#istory is sFurely asDsured
I will be remBmembered here fDorever more
Brand new product in place and a potential buyer

I want to retire, no longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time
