Tom: C
C G
I don't care where you've been
Am Em
I don't care what you've seen
F C
Underneath the mountains
Dm G
On the scrotum of the sea
C G
I don't give a shit who you are
Am Em
How you crashed your favourite car
F C
All I see before me
Dm G
Is the man you'll never be
[Verse 2]
C G
And though I love no other
Am Em
And no other's brother
F C
And sometimes the technician
Dm G
In the art school lavatory
C G
Know I never betrayed you
Am Em
Though -- technically -- they slayed you
F C
None of them were half the men
Dm G
That you will never be
[Verse 3]
C G
You look strange in the moonlight
Am Em
I wonder if I've done the right thing
F C Dm G
To invite you to share your bed with me
C G
With the hole in your jacket
Am Em
The shoe in your pocket
F C
One eye dangling from the socket
Dm G
Of the man you'll never be
[Verse 4]
C G
Well you have much to commend you
Am Em
But who would befriend you
F C
With the alcoholic swagger
Dm G
No-one's ever pleased to see
C G
You've got the eyes of a spider
Am Em
The handshake of a miser
F C
I guess at least you're pleased you're not
Dm G
The man you'll never be
[Verse 5]
C G
And though many refuse you
Am Em
Hide from you and try to lose you
F C
Some run you over
Dm G
Quite deliberately
C G
I will not shirk my duty
Am Em
For I love you truly
F C
Not for who you are
Dm G
But for the man you'll never be
[Verse 6]
C G
You've got the lips of a chicken
Am Em
The tics of a victim
F C
The eyes of a liar
Dm G
And the belly of a whale
C G
I don't care what stupid things you've done
Am Em
How you stared into the sun
F C
When all I see, increasingly
Dm G
Is the man you'll never be
[Verse 7]
C G
And though I loved no other
Am Em
And no other's brother
F C
And the jackass in the record shop
Dm G
Who burns the fake CDs
C G
Know I never despised you
Am Em
But someone's undermined you
F C
It's plain to see you're half the man
Dm G
That you will never be
