[Intro]
G Cadd9 F
[Verse 1]
C/G G
I remember the sickness was forever
Cadd9 F C/G
I remember snuff videos
G
Cold Septembers
The distances we covered
Cadd9 F
The fist fights on the beach
C/G
The Bizzies round us up
G
Do it all again next week
An embryonic love
Cadd9 F
The first time that it scarred
C/G
Embarrass yourself for someone
G
Crying like a child
And the boy who kicked Tom’s head in
Cadd9 F
Still bugs me now
C/G
That’s the thing it lingers
G
And claws you when you’re down
G Cadd9 F C/G
[Verse 2]
G
I was far too scared to hit him
Cadd9 F
But I would hit him in a heartbeat now
C/G
That’s the thing with anger
G
It begs to stick around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
Cadd9 F
And leave you spent with nowt to offer
C/G
It makes you hurt the ones who love you
G
You hurt them like they’re nothing
G
Cadd9 F C/G
oh oo wuh ah uh oh ah oh
G
You hurt them like they’re nothing
G
Cadd9 F C/G
oh oo wuh ah uh oh ah oh
You hurt them like they’re nothing
G
Cadd9 F C/G
oh oo wuh ah uh oh ah oh
C/G G
[verse 3]
[spoken]
G
See I spent my teens enraged
Cadd9 F
Spiralling in silence
C/G
And I armed myself with a grin
G
Cause I was always the f*@*in' joker
[Sung]
G
Buried in their humour
Cadd9 F
Amongst the white noise and boys' boys
C/G
Locker room talkin' lads' lads
G
Drenched in cheap drink and snide f*gs
A mirrored picture of my old man
Cadd9 F
Oh God the kid’s a dab hand
C/G
Canny chanter, but he looks sad
G
God, the kid looks so sad
G Cadd9 F C/G
C/G G
God, the kid looks so sad
G Cadd9 F C/G
[Verse 4]
C/G G
She said the debt, the debt, the debt
So I thought about shifting gear
Cadd9 F
And how she wept and wept and wept
C/G
Luck came and died round here
G
I see my mother
The DWP see a number
Cadd9 F
She cries on the floor encumbered
C/G
I’m seventeen going under
G
I’m seventeen going under
[Outro]
G
Cadd9 F C/G
oh oo wuh ah oh uh oh
G
I’m seventeen going under
G G
uh-oh
Cadd9 F C/G
oh oo wuh ah oh uh oh
G
I’m seventeen going under
G G
uh-oh
Cadd9 F C/G
oh oo wuh ah oh uh oh
G
I’m seventeen going under
G G
uh-oh
Cadd9 F C/G
oh oo wuh ah oh uh oh
G
oh oo wuh ah oh uh oh
Cadd9 F C/G
oh oo wuh ah oh uh oh
G Cadd9 F C/G G
