Seventeen Going Under Live Chords

[Intro]
 
B C#m A E
 
[Verse 1]
E   B
I remember sickness was forever
C#m  A              E
I remember snuff videos
E     B
Cold Septembers
 
The distances we covered
      B       C#m     A
The first time on the beach
                       E
The cops would round us up
 
Do it all again next week
B
Embryonic love
     B            C#m    A
The first time, yeah it scarred
                         E
Embarrass yourself for someone
                          B
And you're cryin like a child
 
And the boy who took that from me
 B     C#m     A
Still bugs me now
                      E
Thats the thing, it lingers
 
And claws you when you're down
 
[Riff]
 
B C#m A E
 
[Verse 2]
B
I was far to scared to hit him
           B         C#m        A
But I'd hit him in a hеartbeat now
                       E
Thats the thing with anger
                        B
It bеgs to stick around
 
So it can fleece you of your beauty
              B          C#m     A
And leave you spend with nowt to offer
                       E
You hurt the ones who love you
 
You hurt them like they're nothing
 
[Riff]
 
B C#m A E
 
[Verse 3]
B
See, I spent my teens enraged
 B     C#m        A
Spirallin' in silence
                           E
And I armed myself with a grin
                            B
'Cause I was always the joker
                   B                   C#m           A
Buried in the humour amongst the white noise and the boys' boys
                      E
Locker room talkin' lads' lads
                               B
Drenched in cheap drinks and wine bags
 
Thats a mirror, picture of my old man
         B      C#m   A
To be God the kids a dab hand
                             E
Canny chanter, but he looks sad
                     B
Oh God the kid looks so sad
 
[Riff]
 
B C#m A E
 
[Bridge]
          B
She said "the debt, the debt, the debt"
                               C#m
So I thought about shifting gears
       A
So she wept and wept and she wept
       E
Well, luck came and died around here
          B
I see my mother, Centrelink sees a number
       B            C#m        A
Shes crying on the floor encumbered
                 E
Seventeen going under
                B       C#m      A
Seventeen going under,
 E

[Outro]
(N.C.)
I'm protected, undercovers
                 C#m      A
Treat you like you're nothing
                      E
And you just become a number
                         B
