Frank Turner - Richard Divine

intro :
F#m

verse 1 :
F#m Bm
richard divine made up his mind to take the last few steps to
E F#m
the bathroom door from his bedroom floor and to lock himself in .
F#m Bm
steady young hands , meticulous plans , disposable razors and A
E F#m
blisterpack filled with strong sleeping pills , and a bath of hot water .

chorus 1 :
A C#7 D
he said hes not for sale , said that he felt hounded ,
B F#m F
crowded and surrounded by this life he didnt choose .

verse 2 :
F#m Bm
he carefully wrote a funerary note on his best writing paper
E F#m F
to set out the facts , and sealed it with wax , and left it in the kitchen .
F#m Bm
he left it out so his parents would know what there was waiting for them
E F#m
pale cold skin and blood seeping in to the landing carpet .

chorus 2 :
A C#7 D
he said hes not for sale , said that he felt hounded ,
B A
crowded and surrounded by this life he didnt choose .
C#7 D
but everybody plays this game on a daily basis .
B
theyre not heroes , theyre survivors ,

and its not shakespearian if they lose .

bridge : F#m E D C# ( not sure )

F#m E
so do what you want , do what you want , do what the voices tell you ,
D C#
but dont ever say , dont ever say that we didnt warn you
F#m F F#m F F#m F F#m
because we warned you .

chorus 3 :
A C#7 D
he said hes not for sale , but he bought into his failure .
B
hes telling tales that hammer nails right into open palms .
A C#7 D
a martyr in reverse , hes best at being worst ,
B
the rest of us are cursed but we keep calm and we carry on .

outro : F# C#7 D E F# C#7 D
E
so richard , here it is :
A C#m D
none of us are blameless , huddled here like strangers ,
E
shameless in our lists of all the changes we say we need .
A C#7
but i think that you knew that ,
D D# ( ? ) B
you cant pretend its news that when you cut yourself youll bleed .
