[Verse 1]
[D]I w[Eb]as no[D] good[Eb]
on the rugger field.
Pushing and kicking,

[Ab]Sensitive and caring s[Eb]eemed the lighter,
[C#]brighter way to [F#]be.

[Verse 2]
[Bm]Mr Jennings, good [A]housemaster,
[G]seemed instinctively to [D]understand.
[A]Tou[Bm]ched me with his gent[A]le presence.
[G]Under bedclothes,
[D]underhand. [C]Und[D]erhand.[C][Em]
Overnight, [D]he did a runner,
[C]threatened with harsh exp[G]ose.
[D]I f[Em]ell to pieces,
[D]dropped out of [C]classes into life's end[G]less [F]melee.
End[G]less [F]melee.

[Verse 3]
[E]Parents listened, [D]didn't [A]get it. [E]Poof and Jesse,
[D]Daddy [E]said.
Mummy tried but [D]fussed and fret[A]ted,
[E]skeletons best left [D]under [G]bed.
Un[D]der the [G]bed.

[Verse 4]
[G][Bm]
Camden [A]Market in the winter,
A [G]cold stone's throw from

Got a [A]minute? Just [G]the ticket!
Meet the boys [D]and mess [C]around.
And [D]mess [C]around.[Em]
[D]Independence far from suburbia.
[C]Doss down and dirty,
[G]tucked up [D]tight.[Em]
How's your [D]father? Not too chipper?

[E]Parents [D]listened, didn't [A]get [E]it. Poof and Jesse,
[D]Daddy [E]said.
Mummy tried but [D]fussed and [A]fretted,
[E]skeletons best left [D]under [G]bed.
On the streets a [F]rude [C]survival,
[G]hot like- minded [F]overtures.[G]
Sad departure, [F]sweet [C]arrival. If [G]you don't like it,
right up yours!

[Verse 6]
There [A]comes a point when deep con[D]viction
bears [A]down hard on who [G]you [D]are.
Point[A]less to don cloak of deni[D]al,
