Young, Gifted And Skint
Verse 1
[F#]Young, gifted and skint, that's where it ain't
Look how easily it happened, look how easily I fell
[A]Now I'm up to here in debt, there's a noose around my neck
[F#]There's a price upon my head
Verse 2
[F#]My past was all in borrowed time, stupid, stupid borrowed time
Now that the deed is done I'm waiting for the axe to fall
[A]Fantasies grow in my brain, run away and start again
[F#]Disappear and change my name

[A]That [B]man was,[C#m] ah young, gifted and [A]skint

That [B]man was.[C#m]...oooohhhh

Verse 3
[F#]Money makes the world go round, fear makes it turn much faster
Can't pay the rent-man a single thing, don't let the man from the Gas Board in
[A]Maybe this is all a dream, maybe I'll wake up again
[F#]Maybe this could all be clean again . . .

Took me awhile to figure this one out. As you may be able to figure I am just starting
find my ear, so if there are any mistakes then let me know.
Thank to NMA for letting me know that I am not the only one who feels and thinks like
It was getting lonely. Ta.
