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

Chorus

A    B       C#m                   A
That man was, ah young, gifted and skint
     B       C#m                       A
That man says you know that's where it ain't
     B       C#m                 A
That man says ah go on lend me a quid
     B       C#m
That man was....oooohhhh

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.
