Tuning:
This is far from perfect. It doesn't capture the dischordant multi-track harmony
that produces the strangely minor key sound, but it seems to be the closest
possible on a single acoustic.
Intro
G Cadd9 F
Verse 1
C/G I reGmember the sickness was forever
Cadd9 I reFmember snuff videC/Gos
Cold sepGtembers
The distances we covered
Fist fightCadd9s on the Fbeach
The bizzies round us C/Gup
Do it all again next Gweek.
An embryonic love
The first time thCadd9at it Fscarred
Embarrass yourself for C/Gsomeone
Crying like a Gchild.
And the boy who kicked Tom's head in
Still bugs me now
That's the thing it lingers
And claws you when you're down.
I was far too scared to hit him
But i would hit him in a heartbeat now.
That's the thing with anger
It begs to stick around.
So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with nowt to offer
It makes you hurt the one who loved you
You hurt them like theyre nothing.
Ohoowaaaaaa oowaaooo woahoo waaooo
You hurt them like they're nothing.
See I spent my teens in rage
Spiralling in silence
And i armed myself with a grin
Coz I was always the f#ckin' joker
Buried in their humour
Amongst the white noise and boys' boys
Locker room talking lads' lads
Drenched in cheap drink and snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Oh boy the kids a dab hand
Canny chanter but he looks sad
God the kid looks so sad.
God the kid looks so sad.
She said "the debt, the debt, the debt"
So I thought about shifting gear.
And she wept, she wept, she wept,
See luck came and died round here.
I see my mother
The DWP see a number
She cries on the floor encumbered
I'm seventeen going under,
I'm seventeen going under.
Ohoowaaaaaa oowaaooo woahoo waaooo
I'm seventeen going under
Ohoowaaaaaa oowaaooo woahoo waaooo
I'm seventeen going under
Ohoowaaaaaa oowaaooo woahoo waaooo
I'm seventeen going under
Ohoowaaaaaa oowaaooo woahoo waaooo
