Verse 1:
G                                D           C              D         C
  So you just stepped out of the front of my house and I'll never see you again.
G                        D          C         D          C
  I closed my eyes for a second and when they opened you weren't there.
G                              D      C       D              C
  And the door shut shut I was vacuum-packed, shrink-wrapped out of air
G                                 D           C       D           C
  And the spine collapsed and the eyes rolled back to stare at my starving brain,

Chorus 1:
D                    G   C
  And fully clothed,   I float away (I'll float away)
D                 G   C
  Down the Forth,   into the sea
  C
I think I'll save suicide for another day.

Post-chorus:
G D C D C
G D C D C

Verse 2:
G                                  D  C            D         C
  And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse and I half run away to sleep
G                                 D               C             D           C
  On a rolled up coat against the window with the strobe of the sun and the life I've led
G                             D       C         D           C
  Am I ready to leap is there peace beneath the roar of the Forth Road Bridge?
G                                D           C      D           C
  On the northern side there's a Fife of mine and a boat in the port for me,

Chorus 2:
D                    G   C
  And fully clothed,   I float away (I'll float away)
D                 G   C
  Down the Forth,   into the sea
D                   G         C
  I'll steer myself   through choppy waves
D                   G        C
  These manic gulls   scream it's okay
D                G      C
  Take your life   give it a shake
D           G          C
  Gather up   all your loose change
  C
I think I'll save suicide for another year.
