Words and music by Frank Turner
Standard Tuning (EADGBe), Capo on 2nd
I've only tabbed the first instance of each chord sequence in the lyrics - the verses
all the same, the choruses ("Suddenly, well its as clear can be...") are all the same and
middle 8 ("And all the pretty little pictures...")has its own pattern. Its a very simple song.
EDIT: I don't know the names of what I've labelled as #1, #2 and #3. The chord shapes
100% right, but rather than leave the names incorrect, I've decided to change them. If
knows the names, tell me and I'll update this again.

Lyrics:
Am
It's been 18 months since I kissed you once
Cmaj7
So just saying 'hi' just isn't gonna fly
#1
But give me a clue, and in a minute or two
#2
Then I might remember your name
And I hate to insist that I was really that pissed
But to tell the truth, in my flush of youth
I would drown my sights so that faces and nights
Seemed the same
And a nervous shrug and an awkward hug
Won’t get me out of the hole I’ve dug,
So I slip the noose with a poor excuse
And talk to someone, anyone else.
And I sit with my friends and I try to pretend
That I never did that sort of thing again,
But I’m lying
to myself.
G #2
And suddenly, well it’s as clear as clear could be:
#3 #2
I’m not quite the perfect man that I hoped I’d be.
G #2
And though I always tried to live an honest life,
#3 #2
To tell my truth I’ve told my share of lies.
I remember you, of course I do,
But I don’t recall how many times we’ve been through
This little game, that always ends the same,
With you sad and me far away.
And every time I repeat the line
That the fault’s not mine and I wasn’t unkind.
But the worst part is that I’ve got nothing else
to say.
And suddenly it’s as clear as clear could be:
I’m not quite the perfect man that I hoped I’d be.
And though I always tried to live an honest life,
To tell my truth I’ve told my share of lies.
B7 #3 D C
And all the pretty little pictures of faith and firm devotion
That I painted as a child,
B7 #3 D C
Well they have fallen by the wayside, along with all my puppy-fat,
But my days have taught me this:
B7 #3 D C
That every day I spend pretending that I always choose the right path
Is a day that I choose the wrong.
Oh yes my wisdom teeth have been giving me grief –
They woke me up to find that I’m exactly the kind of
Guy I said that I’d rather be dead than be
In the days before I got laid.
And suddenly it’s as clear as clear could be:
I’m not quite the perfect man that I hoped I’d be.
And I always tried to live an honest life,
#3 D #2
To tell my truth I’ve told my share of lies.
