The Likeness Of Being

F#m                   E
Lost in this skin, go witherin' down
D
Half-past seven on my upside down
F#m                               E
Don't know where I'm going, don't know where I've been
D
Just know where I'm moving, gotta go it again
F#m            E
Lost on your estate, don't know how
Dmaj7               D
Leaving here, gotta get out now
F#m                 E
Lost in this place, don't know now
Dmaj7
Leaving soon, but I love you now


[Verse 2]
  F#m                    E
Police out lookin' for a blonde-haired woman
      D
She's five-foot-five, last seen alive
       F#m                           E
By the Southern Fried Chicken on the High Street, bookin'
  D
A cab from a man that you can't describe
    F#m                        E
Her friends scream, "Rape!", police, they flash by
        Dmaj7                  D
Holdin' everybody up, but it's over now
F#m                       E
Found a tossed soul in an old suitcase
      Dmaj7
And a head floatin' high in the old canal


[Chorus]
            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage
       F#m            Dmaj7
In the calibre of the cage
   A               E
It makes you turn away
      F#m         Dmaj7
But I love you anyway


[Verse 3]
      F#m                  E
Yeah, April 23rd where the boys all look
     D
St George's Day parade, it don't get much worse
        F#m                      E
And the young ones listen to the elders' words
         D
And they riled 'em all up screamin', "Britain's First!"
F#m                    E
Lean in slow, say, "It ain't my bag"
        Dmaj7                      D
So they call you a faggot and they push you back
     F#m               E
They go out late night on the attack
         Dmaj7
And they beat a Tali-man with a baseball bat


[Chorus]
            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage
       F#m            Dmaj7
In the calibre of the cage
   A               E
It makes you walk away
      F#m         Dmaj7
And I love you anyway
            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage
       F#m            Dmaj7
In the calibre of the cage
   A              E
It made you walk away
      F#m         Dmaj7
And I love you anyway


[Verse 4]
F#m                      E
Friends all say you're a coward now
         D
And they make you sniff alone in the King and Cow
F#m                    E
Never seen a girl with so much grace
    D
She walked right by with a smile on her face
       F#m                         E
Said, "I'll be your friend whether using or not"
Dmaj7                     D
It's a fine line but it's all I got
F#m                   E
Wrapped in the cage, speak, pick up
             Dmaj7
And then you hold influence 'til the sun comes up


[Chorus]
            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage
       F#m            Dmaj7
In the calibre of the cage
   A               E
It makes you turn away
      F#m           Dmaj7
And I love you everyday
            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage
         F#m            Dmaj7
It's the calibre of the cage
     A              E
It's made you walk away
      F#m         Dmaj7
And I love you anyway


[Outro]
A              E        F#m
Whether you're using or not
               Dmaj7
Whether you're using or not
A              E        F#m
Whether you're using or not
               Dmaj7
Whether you're using or not
A              E        F#m
Whether you're using or not
               Dmaj7
Whether you're using or not
A              E        F#m
Whether you're using or not
               Dmaj7    A
Whether you're using or not
