Intro: C majorC

Verse 1:
        C majorC
I'm working on my backwards walk
       FF
walking with no shoes or socks
             G+G
and the time rewinds to the end of may
            FF
I wish we'd never met then met today

Verse 2:
           C majorC
I'm working on my faults and cracks,
          FF
filling in the blanks and gaps
                 G+G
and when I write them out they don't make sense
           FF
I need you to pencil in the rest

Verse 3
C majorC
I'm working on drawing a straight line
              FF
and i'll draw until I get one right
     G+G
it's bold and dark girl, can't you see
            FF
I done drawn a line between you and me
Verse 4
         C majorC
I'm working on erasing you
          FF
just don't have the proper tools
              G+G
I get hammered, forget that you exist
         FF
there's no way I'm forgetting this

Verse 5:
         C majorC
I'm working hard on walking out
            FF
shoes keep sticking to the ground
                 G+G
my clothes won't let me close the door
                FF
these trousers seem to love your floor

Verse 6:
           C majorC
I been working on my backwards walk
             FF
there's nowhere else for me to go
            G+G
except back to you just one last time
         FF
say yes before I change my mind, say yes before I…


Outro:
G+G
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it

You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
FF
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
                       G+G
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're...

Nota Bene:
Throughout the song play the chords quite softly but emphasise the sounds towards
the higher end, the BB and high E MajorE mainly, this creates the hollow sound Scott uses
in the song.

When the tab denotes an FF chord, play it as an F/E Major chord, so basically don't
