*from 'The Coral' (2002)*
Intro:
Bm Em, D F#7 (x2)
Verse 1:
Bm Em D F#7
I remember when, I saw the sea freeze.
Bm Em D F#7
But it said nothing, about the birds and the bees.
Bm Em
They were swarming around my head;
D F#7
You'd be better off dead.
Bridge 1:
G F#m
But I ain't going down like that.
G F#m
I ain't going down like that.
Chorus 1:
Bm Em
'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,
D F#7
You know where I'm coming from.
Bm Em
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
D F#7
That is the truth and the truth is grim.
Bm Em
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,
D F#7
Your father has died, while he's gripped for bail.
Bm Em
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest,
D F#7
And wants you to be his special guest.
Interlude:
G F#m G F#m
Oo...oh, oo..oh.
Verse 2:
Bm Em D F#7
I remember when, I saw the leaves fall.
Bm Em
I was in the woods,
G F#7
And the gown you wouldn't wear to the Ball.
Bm Em D F#7
Into the ditch I fly; wanted dead or a-live.
Bridge 2:
G F#m
But I ain't going down like that.
G F#m
No, I ain't going down like that.
Chorus 2:
Bm Em
'Cos I'm better than him and I know where I've been,
D F#7
You know where I'm coming from.
Bm Em
And I'm hired to sin, but don't we all sin?
D F#7
That is the truth and the truth is grim.
Bm Em
It ain't easy in jail; the stories for sale,
D F#7
Your father has died, while he's gripped for bail.
Bm Em
He points to the west and he leaves out the rest,
D F#7
And wants you to be his special guest.
