Four years of hard work!
This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

The band put up the tabs here, just not in coordination with the lyrics, so I did
that. I'm kinda bad at it, but this is my favorite song by them so I thought I'd give it a go!

Most of the song's guitar is on offbeats, but I put the chords where the actual
chord changes are instead. Just listen to the song before you play, and I think
you'll get what I mean. If you have any corrections let me know! Feel free to tab
the rest of the album to the lyrics if you'd like! I plan on doing some of their
other songs eventually! :)

Bm
F#7
I’ve been dragging razor blades
G D A
over my face for about ten years straight,
Bm F#7 G
from the week I turned thirteen.
D A
Well, yesterday I turned twenty-three.
Bm F#7
Dad used to joke that he could shave with a knife.
G D A
I’ve never seen a cut on his face in all of my life.
Bm F#7
I hope my skin thickens
G A
into the kind of man I want to be.
D | F#7 | Bm | G A
D F#7
You’re numb? Yeah, sure, I’ve been numb.
Bm G A
It’s when you have so many choices, you end up choosing none.
D F#7
And you're bored, I think I know the sort.
Bm G A
As long as you don’t end up there as your first resort.
D F#7
One time a drunk news presenter from RTE,
Bm G A
took the time out of her busy night to explain to me,
D F#7
that boredom is a pretty recent term
Bm G A
and forty years ago, no one used the word
Bm G
And there is so much more than this,
D A Bbdim
some people survive by the skin of their wrist.
Bm G D
And I had to let you know.
A Bbdim D
Oh o-oh, oh oh
D | F#7 | Bm | G A
D F#7 Bm
I saw what was basically a child propped up on stage.
G A
He proceeded to say nothing in the loudest way.
D F#7 Bm
I lock my jaw so tight, point my eyes at the ground,
G A D
in a futile effort to repel the sound.
F#7
As my mind starts to wander away,
Bm G A
it calls back just to ask me was I ever this way?
D F#7
The chords seem so familiar, although his speech is slurred.
Bm G A
I notice we’ve the same shaving lines as he utters the words:
Bm G
And there is so much more than this,
D A Bbdim
some people survive by the skin of their wrist.
Bm G D
And I had to let you know.
A Bbdim D
Oh o-oh, oh oh
D F#7 G / D Bm G / D F#7 G / Em G
D F#7
At six a.m., eight years ago,
Bm G
I was lying in the middle of the Old Bawn Road,
D F#7
singing “I don’t care if any cars come,
Bm G
I won’t rise before the sun.”
that. I'm kinda bad at it, but this is my favorite song by them so I thought I'd give it a go!
