[Verse 1]
I [Am]got a
at about half past ten
They said we're going [F]for a shandy
and a cigarette baby
Down [C]in Little Island
where the streets are cold
[G]It's a place that we would rather
call our home
[Am]It's a storm brewing up
to the left of my heart
Yes and if I'm [F]not careful
it will tear me apart
And I can't [C]shake this feeling
that we're going down,
[G]like a ship that's been hit
You're not ready to drown
[Am]It's down outside the sully
where the streetlights slide
[F]You're a nice guy,
soon to realise that this world just can't
I should buy you [C]stone macaques
and you just drove
For[G]got about this place
that we called home
And in my [C]heart, I know you're [G]right
I'll always see [Am]you smile
You want to live [F]your life
But you can't live your life
Because [C]you'll always be in my [G]shadow
If you don't leave [Am]now
You won't think we're alive
[F]We ain't alive ton[Am]ight[F][C][G]
You [Am]keep on my collar on the down,
your lips turn blue
You turned to [F]look to me and I said to you
I know you [C]got lost a long time ago
[G]But where the hell are you going?
We were already home
You [Am]said I'm leaving now,
I'm going into the night
And I can't [F]wait around
for you to see what's right
I know exactly [C]where I'm going,
exactly what I'm doing
[G]Got these songs in my head,
if anybody's listening
[Am]I've been lying to you,
I've been playing the fool
And I'm [F]waiting around to
see it hurt you
I've got your name [C]on my neck,
my bag on my back
I've [G]got my guitar checked
and now I'm never coming back
And in my heart [C]I know you're r[G]ight
I'll always see [Am]you smile
If you want to live your life
[F]But you can't live your life
Be[C]cause you'll always be in my [G]shadow
If we don't [Am]leave now
You want to feel [F]alive,
we ain't alive [Am]tonight[F][C][G][Am][F][C]
[G]And I'll meet [Am]you by the
river[F]'s edge,
outside the old [C]Lincoln [G]Inn
And [Am]I'll stand and watch
as all [F]the waves they come crash[C]ing [G]in
And [Am]I'll flick my lit stick [F]in
to [C]Senti or your [G]drum
And [Am]I'll stand and watch
in envy [F]as you [C]roll[G]
In my [C]heart I know [G]you're right
I'll always see [Am]you smile
You want to live your life
[F]But you can't live your life
Because [C]you'll always be in my [G]shadow
If we don't [Am]leave now
You want to feel alive
[F]We ain't alive ton[C]ight
We ain't alive [G]tonight[Am][F][C]
We ain't alive [G]tonight[Am]
[F]Not alive ton[C]ight
Oh, home, bring [G]the grave
And I'll kiss the door and lead [Am]ya home
Oh, home, bring the grave
[F]And I'll kiss the door and
lead ya [C]home[G][Am]
Lead ya [F]home[C]
Lead ya [G]home home
Oh, oh, oh, [Am]oh, [F]oh, oh.
