Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Verse 1 Chords:
So you just stepped out of the front of my house
and I'll never see you again.
I closed my eyes for a second and when they opened
You weren't there.
And the door shut shut I was vacuum packed,
Shrink-wrapped out of air
And the spine collapsed and the eyes rolled back
To stare at my starving brain,
Chorus chords
And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away)
Down the Forth
Into the sea, I think I'll save suicide for another day.
Verse 2
Use verse 1 chords
And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse
And I half run away to sleep on a rolled up coat
Against the window with the strobe of the sun
And the life I've led
Am I ready to leap is there peace beneath
The roar of the Forth road bridge?
On the Northern side there's a Fife of mine
and a boat in the port for me,
Final Chorus:
And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away)
G C (play this C on thru the next 5 lines)
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself through drunken waves
These manic gulls scream it's okay
Take your life give it a shake
Gather up all your loose change
I think I'll save suicide for another year.
