Chords with lyrics
[Verse 1]
F minorFm
Slip from the trees to the dirt to the menace
Bb majorBb
To the wild to the car, under snow, cut to ribbons
Bb majorBb
Like a coral to your shin, like a manacle to swing
F minorFm
Fresh from the breast, now a river running fat
Bb majorBb
To the manor born a rat, to the manor born a flea
Bb majorBb
To a flood to a drain, now a rubber, now a chain
[Bridge]
FF DmDm
I was in the war
FF DmDm
You were in the war
[Verse 2]
F minorFm
Plump from the sugar-water pump
Bb majorBb
With the city at your back to the cannon with a match
Bb majorBb
From a milk into a mass grave never mind that, I can take that
F minorFm
Bones in a bowl like a toad-in-the-hole
Bb majorBb
Take the shape of the mould
Bb majorBb
Like a mummy on a pole and a merry little head bob around when you're dead
[Bridge]
FF DmDm
I was on my knees
FF DmDm
You were on your knees
[Chorus]
F minorFm
And no reptiles
Bb majorBb
Just soft boiled eggs in shirts and ties
F minorFm
Waiting for the flashing green man
Bb majorBb
Quivering and wobbling just like all the eggs you know
[Bridge]
FF DmDm
I’m going to kill a stranger
FF DmDm
So don’t you be a stranger
[Outro]

Oh baby, it’s alright
C majorC Bb majorBb FF
It’s alright to feel like a fat child in a pushchair

Old enough to run

Old enough to fire a gun
C majorC DmDm
Oh baby, it’s alright
C majorC Bb majorBb FF
It’s alright to feel like a fat child in a pushchair
C majorC
Old enough to run
Bb majorBb DmDm
Old enough to fire a gun

Oh baby, it’s alright
C majorC Bb majorBb FF
It’s alright to feel like a fat child in a pushchair
C majorC
Old enough to run
Bb majorBb DmDm
Old enough to fire a gun
C majorC DmDm
Just give me this one night
C majorC Bb majorBb
Just one night to feel
FF
Like I might be on the right path
C majorC
The path that takes me home
Bb majorBb DmDm
Wise enough to know myself
C majorC DmDm
Just give me this one night
C majorC Bb majorBb
Just one night to feel
FF
Like I might be on the right path
C majorC Bb majorBb DmDm
Old enough to fire a gun
C majorC DmDm
Just give me this one night
C majorC Bb majorBb
Just one night to feel
FF
Like I might be on the right path

The path that takes me home

Wise enough to know myself
C majorC DmDm
Just give me this one night
C majorC Bb majorBb
