and the fire brigade comes in a couple of days
G#m
Until then we've got nothing to say and nothing to know
But something to drink and maybe something to smoke
C#m
Let it go until our roads will change,
Singing we found love in a local rave
C#m
No I don't really know what I'm supposed to say,
But I can just figure it out and hope and pray
G#m
I told her my name, I said it's nice to meet you,
Then she handed me a bottle of water filled with tequila
G#m
I already know she's a keeper, just from this one small act of kindness, I'm in
C#m
Deep shit If anybody finds out I'm meant to drive home, but I took all of it down
Not sobering up we sit on the couch
C#m
One thing led to another now she's kissing my mouth

Won't you let me know

5. NINA
Capo on 2
Intro-
Em Bm C
C D Em
Em
I met you when I was a teen
Bm
But then you were one as well
C
And I could play a guitar
Just like ringing a bell
C
Sometimes I wonder
D Em
And any other summer could you have been my part time lover
To me listening to Stevie Wonder
Bm
Under the covers where we used to lay
C
And "Re: Stacks" is what the speakers play
D
I'd be on tour almost every day
Em
When I was home up in my flat is where we used to stay
Bm
Just watching the DVD, smoking illegal weed
C
Getting high as two kites when we needed to breathe
D Em
We'd use each other's air just for the people to see
And stay up all night like when we needed to sleep
Bm
We go anywhere, our minds would take us
C
And I'd say you were beautiful without your make-up
D
And you don't even need to worry about your weight 'cause
Em
We can all be loved the way God made us
Bm
At times the only reason that we could break up
C
'Cause you would always tell me I'm away too much
D Em
Distance is relative to the time that it takes to get on a plane
Or make a mistake, so say it again
Em Bm
Oh Nina
C D
You should go Nina
C
'Cause I ain't never coming home
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Em Bm
And I've been living on the road Nina
C D
But then again you should know Nina
C
'Cause that's you and me both
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now, now
Em
And every weekend in the winter
Bm
You'd be wearing my hoodie
C
With drawstrings pulled tight
To keep your face from the cold
Taking day trips to the local
D
Where we'd eat on our own
Em
'Cause every day when I was away
We'd only speak on the phone
Em
Watching Blue Planet
Bm
Creating new habits
C
Acting as if we was two rabbits
And then you'd vanish
D
Back to burrow with all of the Celtics, I'd disappear
Em
You'd call me selfish, I understand
But I can't help it
Em
I put my job over everything
Bm
Except my family and friends
C
But you'll be in between forever
So I guess we'll have to take a step back
D
Overlook the situation
Em
'Cause mixing business and feelings will only lead to complications
Bm
And I'm not saying we should be taking a break
C
Just re-evaluate quick before we make a mistake and it's too late
D
So we can either to deal with the pain
Em
And wait to get on a plane
But in a day we'll have to say it again
Em Bm
Oh Nina
C D
You should go Nina
C
'Cause I ain't never coming home
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Em Bm
And I've been living on the road Nina
C D
But then again you should know Nina
C
'Cause that's you and me both
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now, now
Em -tap- Em -tap-
Love will come and love will go
C -tap- C -tap-
But you can make it on your own
Bm -tap- Bm -tap- Em -tap- (pause) -tap-
Sing that song, go, oh won't you leave me now
Em -tap- Em -tap-
People grow, and fall apart
C -tap- C -tap-
But you can't mend your broken heart
Bm -tap- Bm -tap- Em -tap- (pause) -tap-
Take it back oh, oh won't you leave me now
Em Bm
Oh Nina
C D
You should go Nina
C
'Cause I ain't never coming home
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Em Bm
And I've been living on the road Nina
C D
But then again you should know Nina
C
'Cause that's you and me both
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now, now
Em Bm
Oh Nina
C D
You should go Nina
C
'Cause I ain't never coming home
D Em
Nina oh, won't you leave me now
Em Bm
And I've been living on the road Nina

With a backpack on my shoulder
Em C G
I love him from the skin to my bones
Em Am G
But I don't wanna miss home
Em C G
There's nothing to say cause he knows
Em C* Em*
I'll just runaway and be on my own ohh, mmm

10. THE MAN
Capo 2
Em7* Am
Now I don't want to hate you
G6*
Just wish you'd never gone for the man
F
And waited two weeks at least
Em7*
Before you let him take you
Am
I stayed true
G6*
I kind of knew you liked the dude from private school
F
He's waiting for the time to move
Em7*
I knew he had his eyes on you
Am
He's not the right guy for you
G6*
Don't hate me cos I write the truth
F
No I would never lie to you
Em7*
But it was never fine to lose you
Am
And what a way to find out
G6* F
It never came from my mouth
You never changed your mind
Em7* Am
But you were just afraid to find out
G6*
But f- it, I won't be changing the subject I love it
F Em7*
I'll make your little secret public its nothing
Am
I'm just disgusted with the skeletons you sleep with
G6* F
In your closet to get back at me
Trapped and I'm lacking sleep
Em7* Am G6*
Fact is you're mad at me because I backtrack so casually
F
You're practically my family
Em7* Am
If we married then I'll guess you'd have to be
G6*
But tragically our love just lost the will to live
F
But would I kill to give it one more shot
Em7*
I think not
Am
I don't love you baby
G6* F
I don't need you baby
Em7* Am
I don't want you no
G6* F
Any-more
Em7* Am
I don't love you baby
G6* F
I don't need you baby
Em7* Am
I don't want you no
G6* F
Any-more
Am
Recently I tend to zone out
Up in my headphones to Holocene
G6* F
You promised your body but I'm away so much
Em7* Am
I stay more celibate than in a monastery
G6*
Im not cut out for life on the road
F
Cos I didn't know I'd miss you this much
Em7* Am
And at the time we'd just go, so sue me
G6*
I guess I'm not the man that you need
F
Ever since you went to uni
Em7* Am
I've been sofa surfing with a rucksack
G6*
Full of less cash and I guess that could get bad
F Em7*
But when I broke the industry that's when I broke your heart
Am
I was supposed to chart and celebrate
G6*
But good things are over fast
F
I know it was hard to deal with and see this
Em7* Am*
I tend to turn you off and switch on my professional features
G6* F*
Then I turn the music off
Em7* Am
And all I'm left with is to pick up my personal pieces, Jesus
G6*
I never really want to believe this
F
Got advice from my dad and he
Em7* Am
Told me that family is all I'll ever have and need
G6*
I guess I'm unaware of it
F Em7*
Success is nothing if you have no one left to share it with
Am
I don't love you baby
G6* F
I don't need you baby
Em7* Am
I don't want you no
G6* F
Any-more
Em7* Am
I don't love you baby
G6* F
I don't need you baby
Em7* Am
I don't want you no
G6* F
Any-more
Em7* Am
And since you left I've given up my days off
G6*
It's what I need to stay strong
F Em7*
I know you have a day job But mine is 24/7
Am G6*
I fell like writing a book I guess I lied in the hook
F Em7*
Cos I still love you and I need you by my side if I could
Am G6*
The irony is if my career and music didn't exist
F Em7*
In six years yeah you'd probably be my wife with a kid
Am G6*
I'm frightened to think if I depend on cider and drink
F Em7*
And lighting a spliff I fall into a spiral and it's
Am G6*
Just hiding my misguiding thoughts that I'm trying to kill
F
And I'd be writing my will before I'm 27
Em7* Am G6*
I'll die from a thrill Go down in history as just a wasted talent
F Em7* Am
Can I face the challenge Or did I make a mistake erasing
G6*
It's only therapy My thoughts just get ahead of me
F Em7* Am
Eventually I'll be fine I know that it was never meant to be
G6*
Either way I guess I'm not prepared
F
But I'll say this:
Em7* Am*
These things happen for a reason and you can't change
G6*
Take my apology I'm sorry for the honesty
F*
But I had to get this off my chest
Am
I don't love you baby
G6* F
I don't need you baby
Em7* Am
I don't want you no
G6* F
Any-more
Em7* Am
I don't love you baby
G6* F
I don't need you baby
Em7* Am
I don't want you no
G6* F
Any-more

I hope that heaven is your resting place

13. TAKE IT BACK
Dm
I'm not a rapper; I'm a singer with a flow I've got a habit of spitting quicker
lyrics you know
Bb
You found me ripping the writtens out of the pages they sit in
C
and I never want to get bitten because plagiarism is hidden
Dm
Watch how I sit on the rhythm, prisoner with a vision Signs of LA, but didn't
listen to any criticism
Bb
Thought you knew but you didn't so perk your ears up and listen
C
Studio with a system and you could say that I'm driven
Dm
And now it's on to the next saga we drink the best lager, I never tried to
win you over like your stepfather
Bb
I do my own thing now, and get respect after
C
And I'm avoiding cocaine like it was Get Carter
Dm
For four years I never had a place to stay but it's safe to say that it
kept me grounded like a paperweight
Bb
At 16 years old I moved out of my home
C
I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
Dm
And we've been sleeping at the subway station, sleeping with a movie star and
adding to the population
Bb
Not my imagination, I don't want to relax
C
But would it hurt your reputation,if I put it on wax? So take it back now...
Dm Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
Dm Bb C
Dont you fade into the back now
Dm
Take it back with the rhythm and blues and my back pack I'll be singing the news,
trying to act like Jack Black when I bring them to school
Bb
I'll make a beat with my feet by just singing a loop,
C
bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes,
Dm
and keeping the truth through the vocal booth, stars burst out on the scene like an
opal fruit,
Bb
they try and take aim like beckham when he goes to shoot,
C
but then again that's what they're supposed to do,
Dm
and I'm supposed to be calm,I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm, whispering everything
that happens is from now on,
Bb
I'll be willing to start again at the end of the song,
C
still they think I handled it wrong,
Dm
but then I never had an enemy, except for NME, but I'll be selling twice as many copies
as the magazines will ever be,
Bb
and got me spectacles ahead of me and festival fees,
C
to help me with a Dalmatian, no pedigree
Dm
singing for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids,keep this rapping a habit and keep on
passioning magic,
Bb
I'm battling for the respect,
C
I don't know if I'll have it, this songs from the heart, grabbing the plaque I'll
take it back now
Dm Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
Dm Bb C
Dont you fade into the back now
Same chord progression continues
Take it back now
Dm
I don't ever want to be perfect, Cause I'm a singer that you never want to see shirtless
Bb
I accept the fact that someone has to win the worst-dressed,
C
Taking my first steps into the scene, giving me focus
Dm
Putting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton,considering a name change,thinking it
was hopeless
Bb
Rhyming over recordings Avoiding tradition
C
Cause every day some lyrics and a melody can be written
Dm
Now absence can make your heart ache But drinking absinthe can change your
mind-state, vividly, I need to let my liver be
Bb
And I say it again,
C
Living life on the edge,with a closed hand full of friends
Dm
Is good advice from a manwho took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
Bb
Cause that's how it's supposed to be screaming out vocally
C
Might seem totally impossible achieving life's dreams
Dm
But, but I just write schemesI'm never having a stylist, giving me tight jeans
Bb
Madison Square Garden is where I might be, But more likely,
C
You'll find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates
Dm
Having a pint with McDaid, Discussing records we made And every single second knowing
that we'll never betray
Bb
The way we were raised Remembering our background
C
Sat down That's how we put it out; it's time to take it back now
Dm Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
Dm Bb C
Dont you fade into the back now
Dm Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
Dm Bb C
Dont you fade into the back now
Dm
My dreams keep me awake at night, Written in rhymes, and lies, deliver the hype
Am I just living the lie
Bb
With this you must know that the number's just sold woah
C
Will keep me going through the tough times, dream with me
Dm
We forget 90 per cent of it when we wake But the other 10 per cent it never fades
Bb
Dreaming dreams, day to day goals Stay awake loads,
C
try to make the cut like the paper or razor blade,
Dm
never give up And just remember just to hold out more A couple years ago I couldn't
just control that thought
Bb
You'd find me buskin' on the street when it was cold outdoors
C
And now I'm sweating on the stage With the sold out tours
Dm
Writing love songs for the sake of it Never to make a hit, You can't fake
talent and work ethic just to make it quick
Bb
I'm not a rapper I'm a singer, I just take the piss and
C
Most of these other guys are guys that pose His little sister has to
Dm
babysit, that's just a way it is Dreams you own,just set your goals
And have the utmost faith in it
Bb
tread your own path You'll never make it as a follower,
C Dm
you'll never know where you will go or where you will be tomorrow

If this is to end in fire

My brothers will die

It crashed into this lonely town

And with that shadow upon the ground

I hear my people screaming out

Now I see fire, inside the mountain

I see fire, burning the trees

And I see fire, hollowing souls

I see fire, blood in the breeze

I see fire, oh you know I saw a city burning (fire)

And I see fire, oooooo (fire)

And I see fire burn auburn on the mountain side
