Hand Me Downs Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Hand Me Downs.[Bb][C][Bb][C]
[Am][Gsus4]
I didn't [C]know what was the matter,
I [Bb]did n't know where t[C]o start.
I'd [Am]lost my sense of energy
And id lost my sense [Gsus4]of heart.

[Verse 2]
In the [C]midst of lost and loneliness
In a [Bb]rose hue [C]picture [Bb]frame,[C]
[Am]Passion and objectivity
Were [G]calling out my name.

[Verse 3]
To [C]aid this new confusion
I was [Bb]having too [C]much fun,
In the [Am]gloomy pubs of Brixton
And the fleeting autumn sun[Gsus4].
[C]I was

[Verse 4]
running far too quickly
That my [Bb]legs could not keep up,
[C]I fel[Am]l spread eagle on my face,
Dignity bit [G]the dust.[C][Am][C]
And the [Cm]si lence w[C]as frozen...
[Am]

[Verse 5]
[C]
I woke up far too early,
I was [Bb]sleeping far [C]too late.
The [Am]alarm clock was redundant
And the [C]mattress forgot my frame.

[Verse 6]
A [C]broken television,
So to [Bb]drown out [C]all the trains.
To [Am]drag me from self pity,
[C]United by fate.

[Verse 7]
I'd [C]learnt all of my lessons,
From [Bb]vag rant, house[C]hold names,
[Am]I found some friends amongst the shelves
So [C]here's to Dave and Jay,

[Verse 8]
I'd learnt [C]more from transit
vans and Bragg,
Than i'd ever learnt in class,
A [Am]lifelong education,
from [C]punk [Am]rock [G]101[C].
And the [Eb]si lence was b[C]roken...

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C]
[Am][C][G]
[C]

[Verse 9]
Through ups [C]and[Am][G]
[C]dow[G]ns,[C]
Through lost and found[Am]s,
Your [G]voice will [C]never let [G]me
[C]down.

[Outro 1]
