Chords

[Intro] A G# G F# (x4) [Verse 1]
A               G#   G F#
Sank into their calculations

    A       G#   F#
And snorted on a stench

   A      G#    F#
Of their arithmetic

A                        G#          G    F#
Look for the boy who was hanging his head low

     A        G#    F#
More trophies and ideas

   A      G#       F#
To follow their pretend
[Chorus]
       F#m          C#           C            A
With a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face

   C              C#           A           C
He followed with obedience and fell in the nettles
A G# G F# (x4) [Verse 2]
A                G#    G   F#
Afterwards those spiky whispers

A               G#      F#
Said he brought his own rope

    A           G#        F#
And skipped the bits they loathed

A                  G#     G    F#
Didn’t scramble to find a dock leaf

    A       G#       F#
And capture back our hope

     A         G#       F#
To advice, his mind had closed
He lost all of his foot holes [Chorus]
       F#m          C#           C            A
With a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face

   C              C#           A           C
He followed with obedience and fell in the nettles

                                        F#m
Fell in the nettles, fell in the nettles
Bm G F#m Bm G [Verse 3]
         F#m                              Bm     G        F#m
He was a toothpick and the garlic and the cinder upon the path

                       Bm         G       F#m
Had failed to blunt or hinder the slow collapse

                    Bm          G      F#m
And clinging to the door frame, he was trapped

           Bm        G        F#m
Off to a reminder of where he had been
A G# G F# (x4) [Chorus]
       A            G# G F       A            G# G F
With a smile in his pocket and a scowl on his face

          A          G# G F          A           G#     F#
There was nowhere to flee, so sat content in the nettles
[Outro] Louder! A G# G F# (x4)
