Verse 1
I re[D]remember the sickness was forever
[Em7]I reme[Cadd9]remember snuff vide[G]videos
Cold Sep[D]Septembers, the distances we covered
The fist fights [Em7]on the
[Cadd9]beach, the bizzies round us [G]up
Do it all again next [D]week
Embryonic love
The first time [Em7]that it [Cadd9]scarred
Embarrass yourself for [G]someone
Crying like a [D]child
And the boy who kicked Tom’s head in
Still [Em7]bugs me [Cadd9]now
That’s the thing it [G]lingers
And claws you when you’re [D]down
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G] [D]
Verse 2
I was far too scared to hit him
But I would hit him in a [Em7]heartbeat [Cadd9]now
That’s the thing with [G]anger
It begs to stick ar[D]around
So it can fleece you of your beauty
And leave you spent with [Em7]nowt to [Cadd9]offer
It makes you hurt the ones who [G]love you
You hurt them like they’re [D]nothing
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G] [D]
You hurt them like they’re nothing
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G] [D]
Verse 3
See I spent my teens enraged
Spirall[Em7]Spiralling in [Cadd9]silence
And arm myself with a [G]grin
Cos I was always the fuckin’ [D]joker
Buried in the humour
Amongst the white [Em7]noise and [Cadd9]boys’ boys
Locker room talkin’ [G]lads’ lads
Drenched in cheap drink and [D]snide fags
A mirrored picture of my old man
Oh god the k[Em7]kid’s a [Cadd9]dab hand
Canny chanter but he looks sad [G]
God, the kid looks [D]so sad
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G]
Verse 4
She said the [D]debt, the debt, the debt
So I thought about shifting gear [Em7]
And how she [Cadd9]wept and wept and wept
[G]Luck came and died round here
I see my [D]mother
The DWP see a number
She cries on the [Em7]floor [Cadd9]encumbered
I’m seventeen going [G]under
I’m seventeen going [D]under
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G] [D]
I’m seventeen going under
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G] [D]
I’m seventeen going under
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G] [D]
