Artist: Dirty Pretty Things
[INTRO]
[A] [A] +
[VERSE 1]
[A] [A] +
This is where the truth begins, where teardrops glance the sallow skin,
you [D]lose your will and I can lend you [E]mine.
[A] [A] + [D]
The Westway wall's so tall and bleak, reflect the words we dare not speak,
[E] [E] [F]
by the bottle's end we may have done our time.
Prechorus 1:
[F#m] What you want's to stay away from people like [Bm]me,
who twist most everything they [A]see,
and leave the grey old world be[E]hind you. [F#m] [E]
[CHORUS 1]
[A] So sew it [E]up, Kid, have some [F#m]clout, we'll do some [D]wine and fall a[A]bout,
the sun will [E]shine again to[F#m]morrow. [F#m] [E]
[A] Look be[E]yond the para[F#m]pet, we are just [D]bums lest you for[A]get,
[E] [F#m] [F#m] [F]
we can beg, steal and borrow.
[FILL 1]
[E]
[VERSE 2]
[A] Well you said the pills would sort me out,
[A] + [D]
embolden me against the manifestations of fear and doubt,
I just forgot who I used to [E]be.
[A] [A] + [D]
So now I'm strung somewhere between a dream, and humdrum day-to-day routine,
a laurel wreath on the door to my [E]heart. [E] [F]
Prechorus 2:
[F#m] What you want's to wash your face and try to [Bm]breathe,
forget your mind and shut your eyes so that you can't [A]see,
and leave the grey old world be[E]hind you. [F#m] [E]
[CHORUS 2]
[A] So sew it [E]up, Kid, have no [F#m]doubt, we'll walk the [D]line and have it [A]out.
the sun will [E]shine again to[F#m]morrow. [F#m] [E]
[A] For all the [E]friends you've ever [F#m]met, well some you'll [D]love and some for[A]get,
just hold [E]on for tomor[F#m]row. [F#m] [F]
Middle Eight:
[D] So here's to [C#m]now, and all of [D]us of course,
the hearts we tried to make a brand new start,
may the [F#m]fabric never tear us apart. [E] [F#m] [A]
[D] [C#m] [D]
And some day when, we're in the cold,
here's a semblance, we can hope so, the proposal,
and [F#m]put it on your heart for me.
[FILL 2]
[A] [A] + [A] [A] +
[VERSE 3]
[A] [A] +
So now I move, and if you're in,
it wouldn't hurt just to give it a [D]try and win,
don't forget who you're meant to [E]be. [E] [F]
Prechorus 3:
[F#m] What you want's to get a bike and do [Bm]wheelies,
[A]
I bet you can't do 'em half as good as me,
[E] [F#m] [E]
throw it out, when it's over it's over.
[CHORUS 3]
[A] So sew it [E]up, Kid, have some [F#m]clout, we'll go to [D]mine and sulk a[A]bout,
how the [E]sun will shine to[F#m]morrow. [F#m] [E]
[A] For all the [E]friends you've not yet [F#m]met, well some would [D]die for you I [A]bet,
so hold [E]on for tomor[F#m]row. [F#m] [E]
[A] So sew it [E]up, Kid, have some [F#m]clout, we'll go to [D]mine and fuck a[A]bout,
the sun will [E]shine again to[F#m]morrow. [F#m] [E]
[A] For all the [E]friends you've not yet [F#m]met, well some would [D]die for you I [A]bet,

Verse 4 (Outro):
[A] [A] +
This is where the truth begins, for more than seven deadly sins,
you [D]lose your will, I may have hurt your [E]mind.
