Algunos conocerán a Stuart Staples por ser el vocalista de los Tindersticks, y por tener una de las mejores voces. Como solista no hace grandes cambios a la línea de su banda. Aunque si los Tindersticks ya te sonaban demasiado lentos, depresivos, aletargados, Stuart sólo es mucho peor. Parece dejar en claro que no necesita a nadie más. Para emocionar (deprimir) a cualquiera. Qué más se puede pedir en días como estos.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

Intro (0:00)
F#m
Verse (0:07)
F#m It's not that I don't love you Or are tired of your ways E I want you to know
F#m That's I'm always thinking of you You know I'd take you with me E Wherever I go
Verse (0:36)
F#m But I catch myself in the mirror E And I remember I gotta do something about my life F#m For I'm as empty as the clothes that I laid E Crumpled where they fell to the floor
Verse (1:04)
F#m I'm as empty as the ten green bottles E Hanging in my mind from the night before F#m And an ashtray full of moments E Spent thinking about the things I should have done
Chorus (1:30)
F#m I say goodbye to another old friend E Yeah they stayed through thick and thin F#m Through the laughter and the tears E Through every state that I've been in
F#m And I know they don't wanna hurt me E But I can see it in their eyes F#m That they're killing me so gently E How can I ever say goodbye
Verse (2:26)
F#m For as young me we clattered through these streets E And how we hit this town running F#m And we were so sure of being us E We flattened everything that stood in our path F#m Now I wake up and I have to find myself E Through all the shit that once told me who I was
Chorus (3:04)
F#m I say goodbye to so many old friends E Here I left them to the wind F#m And there ain't much point in chasing E The things you can never get back again
F#m But there's still some life in this one E Give me a match and I'll reminisce F#m Of a time when we were younger E And we were stealing our first crack
Verse (3:58)
F#m And our thoughts had turned to dying E And we were unaware at the time F#m That this ride it could ever fall... E Could ever slow down to this time...
Verse (4:24)
F#m For I've been drunk and stoned and feeling mellow E And that's how I've been getting through F#m Looking at the blurry shapes around me E Thinking I knew more than I knew
Verse (4:52)
F#m And it's not that I don't love you E Or are tired of your ways F#m If I could only take you with me E If I could only ease this pain
