Frank Turner – Plea From A Cat Named Virtute (Guitar)

G                                 
   Why don’t you ever want to play?

C
   I’m tired of this piece of string

D
   You sleep as much as I do now and you

C                   G        D/F#
  Don’t eat much of anything

G
  I don’t know who you’re talking to

C
  I’ve made a search through every room

D
  But all I found was dust that moved

      C               G          D/F#
  And shadows of the afternoon

    G
And listen

            C
About those bitter songs you sing

            Am
They’re not helping anything

           C        G
They won’t make you strong

G
  So we should open up the house

C
  Invite the tabby two doors down

D
  You can ask your sister if

C                       G             D/F#
  She doesn’t bring her basset hound

G
  And as for things you shouldn’t miss

C
  Tape hiss and the modern man

D
  Cold war and card catalogues

C                      G           D/F#
  To come and join us if they can

G
  For girly drinks and parlour games

C
  We’ll pass around the easy lie

D
  Of absolutely no regrets

C                   G            D/F#
  Then later maybe you could try

G
  To let your losses dangle off

C
  The sharp edge of the century

D
  We’ll talk about the weather or

C                  G          D/F#
  How the weather used to be

         G
And I’ll cater

             C
With all the birds that I can kill

          Am
Let their tiny feathers fill

      C
Disappointment

G
Lie down

          C
Lick the sorrow from your skin

            Am
Scratch the terror and begin

       C            G
To believe you’re strong

G            D#            Em               C
All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV

C                  G               C
Frankly that thing doesn’t really interest me

  G                  D#
I swear I’m going to bite you hard

    Em             C#
And taste your tinny blood

   D#                 D              Em               Am
If you don’t stop the self-defeating lies you’ve been repeating

          C
Since the day you brought me home

              G       C F C 
I know you’re strong

              G       C F C  
I know you’re strong

              G       C F C  
I know you’re strong

              G       C F C  
I know you’re strong
