N.C.               B
Didn't think I'd have to choose
                   B
Didn't think I'd wear brown shoes
                   G#m                    E
Didn't think that I'd ever have to read about this in the news
              B
You're gonna have a go?
               B
Well I don't want to know
G#m                           E
I just thought that I should try and say hello to those who'd

Chorus:
  E
Never exist without being generic
        B              F#
You're out to impress our bovine public
       E
You'd never exist if you wasn't generic
        B              F#
You're out to impress our bovine public
      E
I'll never forget how all this begun
             B              F#
And I will never regret a thing I have done
               E
But you would never exist without us so maybe I do...

Verse:
        B                            B
...not have the time, fairweather friends of mine
    G#m                                 E
A year's a long time when you'??re doing nothing with your life
             B
I heard you felt alert?
                 B
Well I'm hoping that it hurt
             G#m                                   E
Cos we spent too much time doing groundwork to be ground into the dirt by those who'd

Middle 8:
  B       C#m
You say nothing
    E             F#              B
So you'll always mean nothing to me
     B                     C#m
And if what you say means nothing
                    E           F#             B
Then what you say will always mean nothing to me
