in a class of twenty-two
G

And And he knew it early on so
Dm

his confidence kept growing

By thirteen he had been with

every girl deemed worth it
F

G

To be with in the village,
Dm

two years either side of his birthday
He played football, boy, could he play

He was the captain of the team
Dm

rubbing shoulders with the rabble

he'd now been with all the girls deemed worth it in the village

Five years either side of his birthday

hemmed in by his shadow

been growing dimmer by the day and so
Dm

Faster than a dying star,
C

she cashed in her chips and checked out

Settled for him and subsequently
Em

threw all her own ambitions away
Verse 6
G
G

A promotion followed,
a mortgage, a marriage
A dog and children, a loft conversion
A dead dog, and a second home
on the Costa del Sol
In the hopes of stoking the coals
of two long lost souls
Which comes first,
counselling or keys in the bowl?
Put his own mother in a home
Got made redundant twice,
Interlude 2
never once was he on the dole
G

Verse 7
G
G

Light head, black spots on his vision,
room spinning
Clutching the curtain waving from the window,
they thought he was grinning
Em
Em

He was grimacing, begging them to notice him,
G
G

twitching, notice no one is helping him
The grandkids waving through
the rear windshield
Em
Em

G
G

As the big electric gate draws
a line in between them
A fine, fine line between
benign and malignant
Em
Em

So get yourself checked,
G
G

book yourself an appointment
So get yourself checked,
book yourself an appointment
So get yourself checked,
book yourself an appointment
So get yourself checked,
book yourself
Verse 8
G
G

The whole village and most of the town came
out to mourn his end
A full house, he would've been so proud knowing

that no one said a bad word about him aloud

He wasn't perfect,

A plaque bears his full name

And a quote about life and death from a song

'Cause he wasn't too fond

of long songs with lots of words
C
C

If I were him,

D
D

They would've cut him down to size if they could've,
Gm
Gm

but what good would that do?
He bloomed and he grew and grew,
and still he was doomed
F

Same as me, same as you
Cm

Same as everyone I ever knew

You, sometimes still, I think about you

Gm
Gm

Born dyed in the wool, never
knowing of a belly half full
So many of us just crabs in a barrel
Gm
Gm

With no feasible means to escape
the inevitable cull
There are those that grow thick skins
quick for the sake of their sins
And the savvy folk that just keep their mouths
Gm
Gm

shut and take it all on the chin
We collide with each other, we submit,
and we bare our teeth
Catch fish using giant metal ships
and scream with laughter
At 4AM staggering home
down moonlit country lanes
We cry because children are dying across the sea
and there is nothing we can do about it
Gm
Gm

Whilst we benefit from the bombs dropped
which we had no part in building
We are sorry, truly we are sorry,
we are just trying to get by too
