Well the sky's turning purple 

Above the community centre 

And I'm sitting in a circle, 

Telling my secrets to strangers 

And they say I've got a problem 

But I don't know that I've got one 

'Cause you never know that you've got one 

'Til someone comes along and spots one 


     C 
They say it's the hardest step 

But it's the first one of many 

And my feet are stuck to the ground 

And I can't seem to take any 

I could tell them I just came 

For the free cup of tea and the biscuit 

And make my way towards the door 

But I don't think I can risk it 


Am                        F 
'Cause I never wanted to stay, 
                     C 
But the morning came so soon 


F   C          G    C 


Am                     F 
   And we all know the words, 
                            C 
But we just sing them out of tune 

G   C     

               C 
'Cause I had my first drink when I was fourteen, 

And I knew that I was in trouble 

'Cause I woke up the next morning 

With my face down in the rubble 

And everyone was drinking singles 

I pour myself a double, 

I just needed a little bit more 


            C 
And now I'm sitting here with my name badge 

And I'm listening to the same sad stories 

About their old dads, 

Who're making all the same 

Bad turning's at their crossroads 

And drowning all their sorrows, 

Without any lifeguard around 



   Am                     F 
Oh no, I never wanted to stay, 
                      C 
But the morning came so soon 


F   C          G    C 


    Am                  F 
And oh, we all know the words, 
                            C 
But we just sing them out of tune 

And oh, oh no 


Am - F - C - C x 2

And the sky's turning dark 

So we step out into the car-park 

And I see you all same time, same place next week 

But before we go our separate ways 

Theres just one thing I'd like to say is, 
*mute* 
Anybody up for a drink
