The song is made up of four chords that are played like this
[D] [F#m] [Bm] [A]
Halfway through playing the A chord Ryan turns it into an A7 (we are getting technical
here people. This is achieved by adding a little finger to the e string on the third fret
to make the A an A7 (please see below below). This is a fantastic little nuance that is
used a lot in Cribs songs.
[A7]
With your [D]knife and your bottle and [F#m]silver spoon
[Bm]No one knows what you're [A]going to do
So stay aw[D]ay from every[F#m]thing that isn't [Bm]true[A]
Cause when I [D]hung around with [F#m]someone else
[Bm]Take your anger [A]off the shelf
And arr[D]ange it in a way that [F#m]no one else could [Bm]do
But [A]you
Cause if you're [D]dying I'd like to [F#m]know
And if you're [Bm]on one I need to [A]show
Cause you were [D]saying you was al[F#m]one
Well there's [Bm]something you need to [A]know
I'm [D]sixteen and I'm [F#m]really bored
"But we're [Bm]not going to use you we're
just [D]scared we're gonna [A]lose you"
[D]Things are better [F#m]when you are on [Bm]board
I'm [A]sure
But if you're [D]dying I'd like to [F#m]know
And if you're [Bm]on one I need to [A]show
Cause you were [D]saying you was [F#m]alone
Well there's [Bm]something you need to [A]know
That you will [D]always be my [F#m]hero
With the [Bm]way that you're letting [A]go
And you were [D]saying you was [F#m]alone
Well there's [Bm]something you need to [A]know
