the real damage
frank turner
intro
G
verse 1
G
i woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house ,
C G
surrounded by sleeping folks i didn’t know
D
on failing to find my friends
Am C
i decided that it was clearly time to go
G D G
verse 2
G
so i made my way out of the door as quietly as i could
C G
there was no one there i knew to say goodbye ,
D Am
squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine
C
of the sunday morning light
G D G
chorus 1
C
i started the night with all my friends
Am
and i ended up alone
G D
oh yes , i started out so happy
C
now i’m hung over and down
D
it was about then that i realised
Am
i was halfway through
C G
the best years of my life
G D G
verse 3
G
so i scanned the local landmarks , trying to find out where i was
C G
and maybe even find a bus back home
D Am
i was longing for a shower , and for clean sheets
C
and a charger for my phone
G D G
verse 4
G
suddenly it hit me that i got paid this friday last
C G
and so i rifled through my pockets for some change
D Am
but all i found was a packet of broken cigarettes
C
and a sinking sense of shame
G D G
chorus 2 / bridge
C

D
it was about then that i realised
Am
i was halfway through
C D
the best years of my life
Am
i had to ask myself well . . .
G D C
is it really worth it?
G D C
is any of this worth it?
G D C
well the whole thing’s far from perfect ,
Am C D Cadd9 Cadd9/B Aadd9
but i’ve yet to figure out a better way to spend my time .
verse 5
G
too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains
C G
the real damage started to sink in
D
it had been quite a heavy weekend
Am C
and i could just about remember where i’d been .

i was halfway through
