The Real Damage
Frank Turner
INTRO
G+G
VERSE1
G+G
I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house,
C majorC G+G
Surrounded by sleeping folks I didn't know
D MajorD
On failing to find my friends
A minorAm C majorC
I decided that it was clearly time to go
G+G D MajorD G+G
VERSE2
So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could
There was no one there I knew to say goodbye,
Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine
Of the Sunday morning light
CHORUS 1
C majorC
I started the night with all my friends
A minorAm
and I ended up alone
G+G D MajorD
Oh yes, I started out so happy
C majorC
now I'm hung over and down
D MajorD
it was about then that I realised
A minorAm
I was halfway through
C majorC G+G
the best years of my life
G+G D MajorD G+G
VERSE3
I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was
And maybe even find a bus back home
I was longing for a shower, and for clean sheets
And a charger for my phone
G+G D MajorD G+G
VERSE4
Suddenly it hit me that I got paid this Friday last
And so I rifled through my pockets for some change
But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes
And a sinking sense of shame
CHORUS 2 / MIDDLE
C majorC
I started the night with all my friends
A minorAm
and I ended up alone
G+G D MajorD
Oh yes, I started out so happy
C majorC
now I'm hung over and down
D MajorD
it was about then that I realised
A minorAm
I was halfway through
C majorC D MajorD
the best years of my life
I had to ask myself well...
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Is it really worth it?
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Is any of this worth it?
G+G D MajorD C majorC
Well the whole thing's far from perfect,
A minorAm C majorC D MajorD Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9/BCadd9/B Aadd9Aadd9
But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
VERSE5
Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains
The real damage started to sink in
It had been quite a heavy weekend
And I could just about remember where I'd been.
CHORUS3
C majorC
Well I started the night with all my friends
A minorAm
And I ended up alone,
G+G D MajorD C majorC
I started out so happy now I'm hungover and down.
D MajorD A minorAm C majorC
I stood on a street corner and I felt a little sick
D MajorD
It was about then that I realized
A minorAm
I was halfway through
C majorC G+G
The first day of the week
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
