Verse 1 Chords:

C                                 C
  So you just stepped out of the front of my house

          F                    C
and I'll never see you again.

                        C                    F
I closed my eyes for a second and when they opened

                   C
You weren't there.

                             C
And the door shut shut I was vacuum packed, 

        F                  C
Shrink-wrapped out of air

                                 C
And the spine collapsed and the eyes rolled back

     F
To stare at my starving brain,

Chorus Chords:

C                     F          C          C
   And fully clothed,   I float away (I'll float away)

C
Down the Forth

F                                                      C
Into the sea, I think I'll save suicide for another day.

Verse 2: Use verse 1 chords And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse And I half run away to sleep on a rolled up coat Against the window with the strobe of the sun And the life I've led Am I ready to leap is there peace beneath The roar of the Forth road bridge? On the Northern side there's a Fife of mine and a boat in the port for me, Final Chorus:

C            F               C           C
  And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away)

G C (play this C on thru the next 5 lines) Down the Forth, into the sea I'll steer myself through drunken waves These manic gulls scream it's okay Take your life give it a shake Gather up all your loose change

                                           C F C F (to fade out)
I think I'll save suicide for another year.
