Richard Divine by Frank Turner Intro: F#m Verse 1: F#m Bm Richard Divine made up his mind to take the last few steps to E F#m the bathroom door from his bedroom floor and to lock himself in. F#m Bm Steady young hands, meticulous plans, disposable razors and a E F#m blisterpack filled with strong sleeping pills, and a bath of hot water. Chorus 1: A C#7 D He said hes not for sale, said that he felt hounded, B F#m F crowded and surrounded by this life he didnt choose. Verse 2: F#m Bm He carefully wrote a funerary note on his best writing paper E F#m F to set out the facts, and sealed it with wax, and left it in the kitchen. F#m Bm He left it out so his parents would know what there was waiting for them E F#m pale cold skin and blood seeping in to the landing carpet. Chorus 2: A C#7 D He said hes not for sale, said that he felt hounded, B A crowded and surrounded by this life he didnt choose. C#7 D But everybody plays this game on a daily basis. B Theyre not heroes, theyre survivors, and its not Shakespearian if they lose. Bridge: F#m E D C# (not sure) F#m E So do what you want,do what you want, do what the voices tell you, D C# but don’t ever say, dont ever say that we didnt warn you F#m F F#m F F#m F F#m Because we warned you. Chorus 3: A C#7 D He said hes not for sale, but he bought into his failure. B Hes telling tales that hammer nails right into open palms. A C#7 D A martyr in reverse, he’s best at being worst, B the rest of us are cursed but we keep calm and we carry on. Outro: F# C#7 D E F# C#7 D E So Richard, here it is: A C#m D None of us are blameless, huddled here like strangers, E shameless in our lists of all the changes we say we need. A C#7 But I think that you knew that, D Eb (?) B you cant pretend its news that when you cut yourself youll bleed. www.TAB6.com
