[Intro]
Main Riff
[Verse 1]
A Dsus2
I forgot to tell you, I have smart new shoes on
A/C# A E
Bought with the money they gave me after the London bombs
A Dsus2
And I forgot to tell you, I've pulled myself together
A/B-G E
Gave next door the TV, stopped trying to belong
[Bridge 1]
Bm
And i forgot to tell you,
A E
I have your thick woolen socks on,
Bm
So it feels like my feet are still touching your feet
A E
Though you're gone, though you're gone
[Verse 2]
A Dsus2
I forgot to tell you, a girl at the office lost her husband
A/C# A E
You met him at the barbecue, I've chipped in for flowers
A Dsus2
And the waiting, the waiting really hurt her
A/B-G E
They put it on the news, but didn't phone her for eleven hours
[Bridge 2]
Bm A E
And i realised she was looking to me
Bm A E
For some king of solidarity
Bm A E
I could read her thoughts, a widow and a widower
Bm A E
But i have nothing, I have nothing to offer
[Chorus 1]
D A
Today, today we stop standing around
F#m7
Today we're not standing our ground
E
find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives
D F#m
Today, today we start running away
A
And we'll always be running away
E
Or the box might aswell be a grave
[Verse 3]
A Dsus2
I forgot to tell you, the whole estate is talking
A/C# A E
The police came down last night and took some boys away
A Dsus2
Nobody rushed to judgement in the face of their machine guns
A/C# A
We know our history is better than the liars on TV
E
But we don't know what to say
[Bridge 3]
Bm A E
We just hold on to our anger
Bm A E
We won't let it evaporate
Bm A E
Hold on, we won't let our anger fade
[Chorus 2]
D A
Today, today we stop standing around
F#m7
Today we're not standing our ground
E
find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives
D F#m
Today, today we start running away
A
And we'll always be running away
E
Or the box might aswell be a grave
Enjoy
