One Off Pretender – The View
Tabbed by: Ben Pattyson
Cool song! Cheers.
Intro
F/Dm/C/Em
Verse
FLiving on them pills Dmlying in squalor,
CThat's the life of the Emlate night bar crawler
FMost outrageous man I mDmet he once said,
C"I could take a belly full of lead and wouEmldn't wind up dead."
FHe wants his song to make yoDmu shiver a little
Clike there's a ghost Emcoming your way
FHave you ever been told that sDmomething's forever,
Cand had your heart broken the very next day.
Chorus
EmShout it from the Crooftop
EmYou can shout it from the Crooftop
FBut you can't tell it to the Cpaper, they've already been paid
C/Dm/F/Dm
Verse
To be ten different people that's easy, it's easier than being yourself
I'm the one off pretender I'm not happy, picking life off the shelf
He taught me, time wasted, is time spent well
The a mans dead if he doesn't have a story to tell
Dead if he's lying in a dirty jail cell
Chorus
Coz when your down they'll kick you, the jury doesn't matter at all
The jury doesn't matter at all
Tell me officer when your baton kissed me, did it make you feel tall?
C/Dm/F/Dm
Solo
F/Dm/C/Em repeat
FAnd no one Dmasked you where you Ccome from,
No one Emtold you of these times,
FAnd no one Dmasked you where you Ccome from,
No one Emtold you of these times,
Verse
This is your life don't waste it,
Why don't you run away?
A man to reckon with he knows how to persuade,
Says you won't get a sun tan in this government shade,
Does it make you quiver a little, the way they say,
"We're gonna fuck you , take a little bit of freedom away every day.
Chorus
You can shout it from the rooftops
You can shout it from the rooftops
You can shout it from the rooftops
But you can't tell it to the paper, they've already been paid.
C/Dm/F/Dm Repeat till end.
End on Em.
