[Intro]
Main Riff
 
 
 
[Verse 1]
            G                          Csus2
I forgot to tell you, I have smart new shoes on
 
                G/B        G                 D
Bought with the money they gave me after the London bombs
 
                G                     Csus2
And I forgot to tell you, I've pulled myself together
 
                  G/B-G                  D
Gave next door the TV, stopped trying to belong
 
 
 
[Bridge 1]
                Am
And i forgot to tell you,
 
                         G                           D
I have your thick woolen socks on,
 
      Am
So it feels like my feet are still touching your feet
 
              G                   D
Though you're gone, though you're gone
 
 
 
[Verse 2]
            G                       Csus2
I forgot to tell you, a girl at the office lost her husband
 
                   G/B  G                        D
You met him at the barbecue, I've chipped in for flowers
 
        G                    Csus2
And the waiting, the waiting really hurt her
 
                   G/B-G                  D
They put it on the news, but didn't phone her for eleven hours
 
 
 
[Bridge 2]
      Am                          G                   D
And i realised she was looking to me
 
    Am               G                                D
For some king of solidarity
 
        Am                               G            D
I could read her thoughts, a widow and a widower
 
    Am                                G               D
But i have nothing, I have nothing to offer
 
 
 
[Chorus 1]
  C                           G
Today, today we stop standing around
 
                             Em7
Today we're not standing our ground
 
                       D
find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives
 
  C                           Em
Today, today we start running away
 
                            G
And we'll always be running away
 
                        D
Or the box might aswell be a grave
 
 
 
[Verse 3]
            G                             Csus2
I forgot to tell you, the whole estate is talking
 
    G/B         G                             D
The police came down last night and took some boys away
 
                 G                        Csus2
Nobody rushed to judgement in the face of their machine guns
 
            G/B        G
We know our history is better than the liars on TV
 
       D
But we don't know what to say
 
 
 
[Bridge 3]
        Am             G                             D
We just hold on to our anger
 
   Am              G                                 D
We won't let it evaporate
 
     Am                         G                    D
Hold on, we won't let our anger fade
 
 
 
[Chorus 2]
  C                           G
Today, today we stop standing around
 
                             Em7
Today we're not standing our ground
 
                       D
find ourseves a box to hide in, for the rest of our lives
 
  C                           Em
Today, today we start running away
 
                            G
And we'll always be running away
 
                        D
Or the box might aswell be a grave
 
 
Enjoy
