Babyshambles is a band formed in London, England by Peter Doherty (Pete) as a side-project to (and later full time after departing) The Libertines.
The band's first single, Babyshambles, was released in April 2004 on High Society Records. Fewer than 1,000 copies of the CD and 7" were released and both can now be found changing hands for more than £50 on internet auction sites such as eBay.
During September and October 2004 Babyshambles embarked on a UK tour culminating in two sold-out shows at the London Scala.

A F#m I couldn't win but I could lose D E And so the time had come and I knew I'd have to choose A F#m But that kiss, I take to the end D E Until the next time I get to see you again
E C#m G# This way I'll always be for you B E And to know you now will see me through C#m G# (Away) you know I knew you there B E And to see you know and help me on C#m G# You know they like to knock me down B E But I don't stay down for very long C#m G# They try to sing their wayward song B A But oh what a way I found
E C#m G# This way I'll always be for you B E And to know you now will see me through C#m G# (Away) you know I knew you there B E I don't stay down for very long C#m G# You know they like to knock me down B E But I don't stay down for very long C#m G# They tried to say their wayward song B A But oh what a way I've found
