Grip-Tape, from The Book and the Canal, 2005 [intro] E Am E Am C#m C#sus2 C#m Am C#m C#sus2 C#m Am E
Am                      E
Wait to rise long after dark

Am                               C#m C#sus2 C#m
Been asleep at least three solid days

Am                                     C#m C#sus2 C#m
Wandering round this house just like a ghost

Am                              E
Searching for something in this life

Am                            E
That would fill the holes and satisfy

     Am                       C#m C#sus2 C#m
Your need to please everybody else

Am                                 C#m C#sus2 C#m
While your nerves shatter and fall apart

Am                                        B              E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
Wear out the grip-tape wrapped round your heart, your heart

Am                                   E
Now you're dressed and ready for the kill

Am                                  C#m C#sus2 C#m
Check if your friends are asleep in bed

Am                            C#m C#sus2 C#m
Same ones who left you to yourself

Am                                 E
Make some noise and take a walk outside

Am                                  E
All those years you kept the pain inside

Am                                C#m C#sus2 C#m
Strangled any chance to love your own

Am                            C#m C#sus2 C#m
Veer away from your collision course

          Am                         B
But you'd rather go out in a ball of flame, ball of flame

     E             E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E Esus4 E
Grip-tape your name
