Verse 1
A Bm7 G I am not a crutch, although my knees are rife with woodworm G A Bm7 G And the mealworms I misheard for lunch are rotting in my guts G A Bm7 G With a childhood of fingernails that ripped my throat to shreds G A Bm7 G G A walk that chimes like church bells from all these loose joints in my legs Em7 These three lions that were sitting on my chest D/F# Are clawing hard into my skin as I am gasping for my breath G And as they each play noughts and crosses on the scratches they have left D/F# I have to screw up both my eyes as it goes into sudden death Em7 They whisper, "Really all these noughts are circles holed, bereft D/F# And all these crosses, crucifixes spreading guilt and sense of dread" G And as we stumbled homeward up the hill to where you used to live D/F# The cold makes ice upon our cheeks from all the tears that we have shed
Pre-Chorus
Em7 These things rattle 'round my head Em7 If he hasn't blown the whistle then it isn't quite the end
Chorus
G Em7 Every defeat a divorce G D Although I look surprised, it's par for the course, I guess G Em7 Every defeat a divorce G D Although I look surprised, it's par for the course, I guess Em7 D/F# And I don't really know now what I thought I knew then G D/F# You can lead a horse to water, but it won't drown itself

Verse 2
A Bm7 G This one family photograph always floats to the top A Bm7 G Like a beaming, bloated corpse, though having been made up A Bm7 G My memories are sepia, but the photograph is not A Bm7 G An historian is fucking with them, as deadly as garrotte Em7 Where they're standing in the kitchen with his arms around her waist D/F# With no idea of what's to come and with a smile across your face G And all the fittings are the same but every other thing has changed D/F# Must forget everything you know as though your mouth and tongue estranged Em7 Small comforts found in ABBA Gold and electronic chess D/F# When West Clewes was my Waterloo, my most dramatic test G Now I've been walking down the shortcuts and the alleys in the dark D/F# Because I'm not scared of the shadows, they're no blacker than my heart
Pre-Chorus
Em7 These things rattle 'round my head Em7 If he hasn't blown the whistle then it isn't quite the end
Chorus
G Em7 Every defeat a divorce G D Although I look surprised, it's par for the course, I guess G Em7 Every defeat a divorce G D Although I look surprised, it's par for the course, I guess G D But how could I ever refuse? G D I feel like I lose when I lose Em7 D/F# And I don't even know now what I thought I knew then G D/F# You can lead a horse to water, but it won't drown itself
