CAN WE ALL PLEASE JUST CALM THE FUCK C WN?

[Verse 1]
        E                                E/G#
In an analogy that makes sense to most
          Caug                               Caug/F#
This opportunity it found me unmarked at the far post
      C#m                         C#m
But I blazed it right against the crossbar
        A                                                   A/C#
Of the pub that you had worked in since you moved here from Bath spa
          E                                              E/G#
But we agreed we couldn't trust a guy that didn't like a single sport
      Caug                                         Caug/F#
But those bow-legged suitors hadn’t given me much of a thought
     C#m                                         C#m
They said it smelled delicious but it smelt of burning flesh
     A/C#                          A/C#
Not meant to be malicious but this is the cross we bear

[Chorus]
    E            F#m       A
The story of the winter I forgot how to speak
             E              F#m          A
My mind was like a nation's flag but my breeze was too weak
           E               F#m            A
How they dragged me to the hospital, said I had gone deaf
            F#m
But I heard everything they said
                A
It's just I had no interest

[Verse 2]
        E                               E/G#
Our friends have put the two of us on suicide watch
          Caug                                   Caug/F#
And every second spent away we spend watching the clock
          C#m                         C#m
There are photos of us holding hands outside of the frame
        A                                               A/C#
I was there, but wonder where our fingers were all the same
              E                                      E/G#
It’s like our self-restraint (It’s the size of a fingernail)
                  Caug                         Caug/F#
And then we chew it down (Yeah we chew it down all the same)
            C#m
Sad eyes for sad goodbyes
       A                                         A/C#
It’s a crime, It’s a crime, It’s a crime, It’s a crime

[Chorus]
    E            F#m       A
The story of the winter I forgot how to speak
             E              F#m          A
My mind was like a nation's flag but my breeze was too weak
           E               F#m            A
How they dragged me to the hospital, said I had gone deaf
            F#m
But I heard everything they said
                A
It's just I had no interest
