. Parts of some songs are actually played using power chords (E5 = 022xxx)
I tabbed these with full chords so whether they are Major or Minor doesn't make a
huge difference. Whether you play power chords or the chords shown is your choice.
. When you see a line in the lyrics below another line with no chords or space
in between, copy the chords for the line above. It's usually obvious what to play.
. For a few of the songs I dropped in the riff that makes it so catchy :-)
. Sometimes chords sound best as C-based chords e.g. E = x7645x
(chord name = lowest note). For instance an Eb x68886 might sound too high or
an F 133211 might sound too low, and could be replaced with Eb x6534x and F x8756x
. At the bottom I included simpler versions for some songs using a Capo. These are
meant to simplify the song and minimise the amount of barre chords used.

C#m Bbm A F#
I can prove anything, I'll make you admit again and again, that
C#m Bbm A F#
I can prove anything, the way that it's read again and again
Bbm C#
And it's only cos you came here with your brothers too
Fm Bbm
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Bbm C#
It's only cause you follow what the others do
Fm Bbm
It's no excuse to say your easily lead
C#m Bbm A F#
You could choose anything, you choose to lose again and again
You could do anything, why should you do anything again
Bbm C#
And its only cause you came here with your brothers too
Fm Bbm
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Bbm C#
You're winding yourself up until your turning blue
Fm Bbm
Repeating everything that you read
G# F# Fm
So here we go with the letter
G# F# Fm
Well can you fix it for me
B Ebm C#
Because we need entertainment
B
To keep us all off the streets
B C# Ebm C# B
So tonight you'll sleep softly in your bed
C#m Bbm A F#
You can try anything, and no-one would know apart from you and me
You can stop anything, it's starts with just one and turns to two then three
Bbm C#
It's only cos you came here with your brothers too
Fm Bbm
If you came here on your own you'd be dead
Bbm C#
Raise a glass or two, you raise a fist or two
Fm Bbm
And get a shopping basket wrapped round your head
G# F# Fm
So here we go with the letter
G# F# Fm
Oh can you fix it for me
B Ebm C#
24 hour drinking

To keep us all off the streets

Fm Cm C# Bbm Cm
I can just imagine you and me, running out of steam, going through the motions
Fm Cm C# Bbm Cm
I have no idea how you know, when I dip my toes, in other people's oceans
Fm Eb
You have local knowledge Of the local area
C# Cm
And that impressed me quite, so I tried that night
Fm Eb
We did things I thought you'd like but that just made it worse
C# Cm
And I impressed you not well not a lot
Bbm
So we start it from the start
Fm Cm
When the heat dies down I'll be back in town
C# Bbm
And until that time I'll be round at mine
Fm Cm
When the heat dies down I'll be back in town
C# Bbm
And until that time I'll be round at mine

When the heat dies down, when the heat dies down
Fm Cm C# Bbm

Fm Cm C# Bbm (x4)
Fm Cm C# Bbm Cm
I can not imagine growing old to have and to hold til death do part each other
Cos I doubt I could storm at 20 years, spending time at hers, talking to that mother
Fm Eb
I've got wider knowledge of the world
C# Cm
I just can't face another argument about the rent
It all seems unimportant in the grander scheme of things
Cause I was purpose built to not feel guilt
Bbm
So we end it at the end
Fm Cm
When the heat dies down, I'll be back in town,
C# Bbm
And until that time, I'll be round at mine
When the heat dies down, I'll be back in town,
And until that time, I'll be round at mine

4. Highroyds
A* = A B C D (when you see this quickly play these four chords)
E G A (x8)
A G F A
I remember nights out when we were young, they weren't very good they were rubbish
A G F A
Running round Highroyds isn't fun, just teenagers testing their courage
A G F A
Standing outside nightclubs in the snow, is not very cool or impressive
A G F A
They let in all the girls from the year below, no need for ID's with those dresses
A* B A B G B
Got news from afar, from a girl who knows who we are
D B A*
She's still got my dinner money, she can keep it
E G A (x8)
A G F A
Never had a fight that we haven't lost, we're not very tough or athletic
Once I had a boxing champ in a headlock, when he gets out I'll regret it
A* B A B G B
Got keys to a car, picked up a girl from Boston Spa
D B A*
For fast food and cinema, it's not worth it
B A B G B
Got word from down south, well he'd have heard about it word of mouth
D B A*
We haven't much stayed in touch, since Highroyds
B A* B A*
E G A (x8)
A G F A
Let it go, live alone and I won't know, cause no-one's gonna tell me but a friend
But he is gone and everybody went along, and nobody was left here in the end
A* B A B G B
Got news from Uncle Hew, through a second cousin once removed
D B A*
It's too late there's a housing estate, it's called Highroyds
A* B A B G B
Got a text from an ex, she wants to know when we're in London next
D B A*
Will you write a song about me, I don't think so
B A* B A*

I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore
Cm Eb Gm F
And I know I've said all this and that you've heard it all before
Cm Eb Gm F
The trick is getting you to think that all this was your idea
Cm Eb Gm F
And that this was everything you've ever wanted out of here
G# Gm
Love's not a competition but I'm winning
Cm Eb Gm F
I'm not sure what's truly altruistic anymore,
Cm Eb Gm F
When every good thing that I do is listed and you're keeping score,
G# Gm
Love's not a competition but I'm winning
G# Gm
Love's not a competition but I'm winning

At least I thought I was but there's no way of knowing,

Cm Eb Gm F
I won't be the one to disappoint you anymore

7. I Can Do It Without You
E D A G (x2)
E D
None of the buildings even look the same
A G
And underneath them all the shops have changed
E D
I don't pretend they've got a lot more brains
A G
Stocking much for young professionals to stay in
Bm Dsus2 Bm Dsus2 G
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you
Bm Dsus2 Bm Dsus2 G
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you

On the tunnel to the north again
A G
Everybody has to talk on the train
E D
And if you've got nothing that's clever to say
A G
Nobody's listening to you anyway
Bm Dsus2 Bm Dsus2 G
I can do it, I can do it, I can do it, I can do it without you

The adaptation for the stage is not blamed

8. My Kind Of Guy
Am G# Am G# (x7)
Am Bb
Well it starts as a joke like a stick in the spokes
Am
Or removing the bolt on the brakes
Am Bb
Then the bicycle flips crushing ribs smashing hips
Am
And he broke every bone in his face
Am G# Am G# (x2)
Am Bb
Then you're out of control and you can't fill the hole
Am
That was left by the thrill of the chase
Am Bb
You're a right piece of work all the flakes go berserk
Am
Have you forgotten how good they taste
Am E Am E Am
F C Em Am
You're my kind of guy, cause I like your style, and you sound as horrible as me
F C Em
And I don't mind if you're unkind, you're reminding me of me
Am G# Am G# (x4)
Am Bb
As the bicycle race gathers speed, gathers pace
Am
And you feel that you're going too fast
Am Bb
Theres a word to the wise, you should take some advice
Am
As the nice guys always finish last
Am E Am E Am
F C Em Am
You're my kind of guy cause I like your style, and you sound as horrible as me
And I don't mind if you're unkind, you're reminding me of me
You're my kind of guy cause I like your style, and you sound as horrible as me
And heads will roll, as it takes its toll, on you and me

But everyone would do it if they can
G
But everything is going down the pan
A
And everyone is following the craze
And everything is average
D Bm
Now you say it's getting better, but I don't really see the signs

You thought that we should read it, I wouldn't even know how to
G A
There's not much to believe in, left up on the shelf
So get your coats we're leaving, we'll just do something else
B E
All I need is a ball and a wall

Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather

All I need is a ball and a wall

Oh oh oh oh

10. Boxing Champ
C Dm Em Dm (x2)
C Dm Em Dm
We went to the youth club and we looked out of place
C Dm Em Dm
I didn't know where to look so I, looked at your face
C Dm Em Dm
But you were a boxing champ, and I was a weakling
C Dm Em Dm
You didn't give me a chance, you gave me a beating
F G
And I thank you very much that you did
C Dm Em Dm
And as the time went by we stayed out of trouble
C Dm Em Dm
Before I could realise my age had doubled
Am G
The man I became is a tragic bore
F Em
And he's not a boxing champ anymore
Am G
If there's one thing I've learnt it's to run away
F Em
At least I enjoy what I do today
F G
And I thank you very much that I do
C Dm Em Dm (x2) C

Oh, it seems most sensible, but not exactly what we'd like
C D C D
What are you waiting for, get up off your seat

Its just seven days, it feels like a week
What are you moaning for, you got all that you want
Life could be worse, you know we all could be cursed

F Em Dm Am
I don't mean to be a dick, I just don't like the changes
F Em Dm Am
And I can't help things I say, you know I wouldn't to strangers
F Em Dm Am
But I don't like going away, cause it puts me in danger
C G Am
Am G F#m F (x2)
Am G F#m F
I can tell you now, there ain't a problem can't be solved
With a good old fashioned row, so grit your teeth and stand your ground
And it's not hard to tell, that I learnt my lesson well
But I'm still waiting for, the man to come with all my things
C D C D
What are you waiting for, get up off your seat
Bb C Bb C
It's just seven days, feels like a week

Your life could be worse, and you could leave in a hearse

13. Retirement
F#m C# F D Bm D (x2)
F#m C# F D
There are many things that I would be proud of
Bm D
If I'd only invented them such as the wheel
F#m C# F D
The washing machine and the tumble dryer
Bm D
On these inventions surely I could retire
F#m C# F D
I want to retire, no longer required
Bm D
I want to get by without the man on my back
F#m C# F D
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
Bm D
I must go out on a high, and tell nobody why
F#m C# E B (x2)
F#m C# F D
There are many things that I know I could do
Bm D
If I'd only have wanted to, such as create
The perfect soulmate everyone would admire
On this creation surely I could retire
I want to retire, no longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time
F#m C# E B (x8)
F#m C# F D
Now my place in history is surely assured
Bm D
I will be remembered here forever more
Brand new product in place and a potential buyer
Up on this next transaction surely I could retire
I want to retire, no longer required
I want to get by without the man on my back
A tear in my eye, with a heart full of pride
I must go out on a high, and not to answer to why
I want to retire, inform the suppliers
I'll leave the party in style, and not to be carried out
Without a cloud in the sky, I got my fingers in pies
A golden watch on my side, will measure my free time

Verse: (On each cord you have to strum three really fast time's and then let the fourth ring
until the next chord. Listen to the song, and you'll know what i mean.)

After that you play the same chords, only faster. 8 strums per chord.

Its the same chords all the way through the song, except at the "Ahh aah aah aaah aaah

other one is playing the intro along with the vocals. You just pick whatever you want

And everything is of no consequence
Cos everyone is sitting on the fence

Verse 4:
Now you said you didn't mean it
You threw away the book of rules
You thought that we should read it
I wouldn't even know how to
Chorus:

So get your coats we're leaving
We'll just do something else
Middle 8:

All I need is a ball and a wall
A G A B
Or a sledge and a hill in heavy weather x2
At this point the chords go back to the verse, along with the first riff.
Chorus:

It seems most sensible
But not exactly what we'd like
