[Intro] F#m E D (x2) [Verse 1]
F#m                   E
Lost in this skin, go witherin' down

D
Half-past seven on my upside down

F#m                               E
Don't know where I'm going, don't know where I've been

D
Just know where I'm moving, gotta go it again

F#m            E
Lost on your estate, don't know how

Dmaj7               D
Leaving here, gotta get out now

F#m                 E
Lost in this place, don't know now

Dmaj7
Leaving soon, but I love you now
[Verse 2]
  F#m                    E
Police out lookin' for a blonde-haired woman

      D
She's five-foot-five, last seen alive

       F#m                           E
By the Southern Fried Chicken on the High Street, bookin'

  D
A cab from a man that you can't describe

    F#m                        E
Her friends scream, "Rape!", police, they flash by

        Dmaj7                  D
Holdin' everybody up, but it's over now

F#m                       E
Found a tossed soul in an old suitcase

      Dmaj7
And a head floatin' high in the old canal
[Chorus]
            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage

       F#m            Dmaj7
In the calibre of the cage

   A               E
It makes you turn away

      F#m         Dmaj7
But I love you anyway
[Verse 3]
      F#m                  E
Yeah, April 23rd where the boys all look

     D
St George's Day parade, it don't get much worse

        F#m                      E
And the young ones listen to the elders' words

         D
And they riled 'em all up screamin', "Britain's First!"

F#m                    E
Lean in slow, say, "It ain't my bag"

        Dmaj7                      D
So they call you a faggot and they push you back

     F#m               E
They go out late night on the attack

         Dmaj7
And they beat a Tali-man with a baseball bat
[Chorus]
            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage

       F#m            Dmaj7
In the calibre of the cage

   A               E
It makes you walk away

      F#m         Dmaj7
And I love you anyway

            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage

       F#m            Dmaj7
In the calibre of the cage

   A              E
It made you walk away

      F#m         Dmaj7
And I love you anyway
[Verse 4]
F#m                      E
Friends all say you're a coward now

         D
And they make you sniff alone in the King and Cow

F#m                    E
Never seen a girl with so much grace

    D
She walked right by with a smile on her face

       F#m                         E
Said, "I'll be your friend whether using or not"

Dmaj7                     D
It's a fine line but it's all I got

F#m                   E
Wrapped in the cage, speak, pick up

             Dmaj7
And then you hold influence 'til the sun comes up
[Chorus]
            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage

       F#m            Dmaj7
In the calibre of the cage

   A               E
It makes you turn away

      F#m           Dmaj7
And I love you everyday

            A                 E
She says, I know you feel the rage

         F#m            Dmaj7
It's the calibre of the cage

     A              E
It's made you walk away

      F#m         Dmaj7
And I love you anyway
[Outro]
A              E        F#m
Whether you're using or not

               Dmaj7
Whether you're using or not

A              E        F#m
Whether you're using or not

               Dmaj7
Whether you're using or not

A              E        F#m
Whether you're using or not

               Dmaj7
Whether you're using or not

A              E        F#m
Whether you're using or not

               Dmaj7    A
Whether you're using or not
