[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Ruby's
as cold as ice,
what [Em]she's been through
in her life ain't right
[Dm]Mum and dad the ad[F]dicted type,
she was in care by the age of five
She moved [Am]up to the Isle of Wight,
she [F]moved full time by the
[Em]time she was nine
[F]She don't trust no guys,
they can't get through
but they [Am]keep on trying
Ruby don't act her age,
she 15 but [Em]grown and wise
[F]Fake love can't heal the pain,
she don't go to school,
she [Am]smoke it high
[Dm]Her parents smoking white,
[C]how can I judge
how you cope with [B]life?
Chillin' with all the [Am]guys,
they [Dm]ask her age, she told them [Am]lies
You know what it's like,
you know how it goes
She's [Em]young and she lost her vir[F]ginity,
now everyone call her a [Dm]hoe
Star[F]ted with [Em]pullings at [Am]home,
now all of a sudden the [F]problem has grown
But Ruby grew [Em]up on her ow[Dm]n,
she don't have a problem with
being [F]alone[Am]
You're a scumbag, you're
These roads are as cold as [F]ice
You're willing to sell your
If you don't wanna freeze
let's [Am]stay inside
You're a scum[F]bag, you're
Take that [Em]chance, roll the [F]dice
Broken hearts, broken homes
You're not from here,
you won't [Am]know what it's like
Jax has cold as ice
He's lost his [Em]mum and most his guys
[F]Way too young but holding knives
He'll do that crime with [Em]no disguise
[Am]Retaliation, how you cope with pride?
No hesitating, go on the [F]ride
You roll the dice,
if it goes to plan then come
If [Am]it don't, you [F]don't
[Am]Don't gamble your life,
you don't get that [Em]twice
I don't think I'll ever let that [F]slide
But I won't get dull when I get that stripe
We get the worst advice
[Dm]Think that you're bad
till you're locked in a [Am]can
And now you [C]wanna turn to [Dm]Christ
[B]It costs to be a boss,
[F]but death ain't worth that price
[Am]Jack got caught with a [F]shank
and Jake's linked [Am]into a local murder
[F]Jack's 18 and he's cold, he's
Max, he's young so he's
moving nervous
Jack been in the [Am]station mul[F]tiple times,
he's moving [Em]quiet on [F]purpose
Max kept it quiet as well,
now they're both in jail
and he just got [Am]birdie
He's rose, I scored his [F]ice
If you don't wanna freeze,
let's [Am]stay inside
[F]Take that cha[Em]nce, roll the dic[F]e,
broken hearts, broken homes
You're not from here,
you won't know what it's [Am]like
The roads as cold as ice
You're not from [Em]here,
you won't know what it's like
[F]TV shows don't show what it's like
I've seen it with my own two [G]eyes
[Am]Two sides, you'll see the divide
Freedom of speech,
I'm speaking my [C]mind
[F]Say too much, get disqualified
Get fed to the lions, [Am]eat you alive
Grew in a detrimental place
[F]Deteriorating your men[Em]tal state
[F]It's all good, can we still keep faith?
Making it work, but we still want change
[Dm]These days it's all fabricated
[Am]Got to the point b[C]eing rulers fake
[Dm]The [B]fiends don't have
no [F]shame
Crackheads smoke crack
with the children play
[Am]You know this, it's all a bit strange
Showbiz cos it all looks [Em]stained
[F]Selfishness is a foolish game
It would all change if we
all had [Am]stayed
This ain't just for the [F]gang
I feel like we all can relate
On my side, we're all the same
My hood don't discrimin[Am]ate
These roads, I'll [F]call this ice
If you don't wanna freeze,
let's [Am]stay inside
[F]Take tha[Em]t chance, roll the dic[F]e
Broken hearts, broken homes
You're not from here,
you won't [Em]know what it's [Am]like[F]
You're as to [Am]sacrifice
You're as cold [F]as [Am]ice
[F]You're willing to sacrifice
Cause you're not from here or
[Am]no[F][Dm]
[F][Am][F][Am][F]
But death ain't worth the [Am]price[F]
You
[Am][F]
