A|-------4-----2----0--------------------------------------------|

Halfway through playing the A chord Ryan turns it into an A7 (we are getting technical
here people. This is achieved by adding a little finger to the e string on the third fret
to make the A an A7 (please see below below). This is a fantastic little nuance that is
used a lot in Cribs songs.

DF#m
With your knife and your bottle and silver spoon
BmA
No one knows what you're going to do
DF#mBmA
So stay away from everything that isn't true
DF#m
Cause when I hung around with someone else
BmA
Take your anger off the shelf
DF#mBm
And arrange it in a way that no one else could do
A
But you
DF#m
Cause if you're dying I'd like to know
BmA
And if you're on one I need to show
DF#m
Cause you were saying you was alone
BmA
Well there's something you need to know
DF#m
I'm sixteen and I'm really bored
Bm
'But we're not going to use you we're
DA
just scared we're gonna lose you'
DF#mBm
Things are better when you are on board
A
I'm sure
DF#m
But if you're dying I'd like to know
BmA
And if you're on one I need to show
DF#m
Cause you were saying you was alone
BmA
Well there's something you need to know
DF#m
That you will always be my hero
BmA
With the way that you're letting go
DF#m
And you were saying you was alone
BmA
Well there's something you need to know
