Frank Turner – Show People (Guitar)

D       D/C#            D/B       D/A
Step up kid, sign your name right here

         G        G/F#            A    D
There's pride to take in being a volunteer

D                 D/C#            D/B         D/A
It's not gonna be easy, but we're all of us equal

         G          G/F#             A    D
If you give it your all you can be show people

D                    D/C#            D/B        D/A
Can you stand on your head? Can you land on a dime?

         G               G/F#              A           D
Can you find a thousand different ways to say the same line?

D                       D/C#     D/B          D/A
Can you show a crowded room the good and the evil?

         G            G/F#                A    D
Do the same when it's empty? You can be show people

D                           D/C#            D/B              D/A
Can you sleep where you're sitting, make a pillow from your shoes

       G            G/F#               A          D
Fix an enginе with duct tape, use a string for a fuse?

D                D/C#              D/B     D/A
Can you fly likе Icarus, land like Evel Knievel?

         G              G/F#          A    D
We'll show you how it's done we are show people

                 D         D/C#     D/B         D/A
They called us travelling players, fools and troubadours

         G           G/F#                  A          D
We did turns for the king, and they still called us whores

D                     D/C#           D/B          D/A
Sometimes we've been icons, in the plague years illegal

         G              G/F#                   A    D
But we believed in our craft, because we are show people

Em                             F#m
And I know you've didn't want the hand you were dealt

        G
Let me guess that you were scorned just for being yourself

Em                             F#m
And you knew in your heart that you had something to say

              G
And you were willing to work at it, through the nights and through the days

Em                             F#m
On the skills you knew you'd need to say exactly what you mean

              G
They weren't perfect when you started, but you were hungry and you were lean

Em                                           F#m                         G
To be the truest version of yourself, pass through the eye of the needle

G        F#m         A            D
Step right up, show 'em what you got

         G   G/F#               Em    D
Don't worry, kid, you're gonna show people

     G        G/F#                Em    D
Six nights a week, you're gonna show people

      G       G/F#                  Em    D
Some day, I promise, you're gonna show people

         G         G/F#                     A    D
With a matinee on Saturdays, you're gonna show people

D                   D/C#                 D/B       D/A
You'll probably be disappointed, you'll often be broke

         G              G/F#                   A        D
But in airports and at parties, you're gonna smell your own

D                           D/C#      D/B      D/A
You're more likely to be John Otway than the Beatles

     G               G/F#                    A    D
But Otway's still on tour. Hats off to the show people
