I would say this is beginner as the chord changes are
quite forgiving but there are 3(2) barre chords depending
on how you play it so beware
Tuning - Standard
I've tried to make it as accurate as I can by using the visualiser and the music video
for reference.
[Intro]
F#m B E A
[1st Verse]
F#m B E
It's as thin as Norwegian wood
A F#m
What could a crook know about love?
B E
I tend to chew what I can get,
A
not sure I know my body yet.
[Chorus]
F#m B E A
It hurts to show but it's not easy knowing what I know.
F#m B
When I'm down, I'm so down
E A
If I expressed myself, then you wouldn't stick around me.
[2nd Verse]
F#m B E
It's as thin as Norwegian wood
A F#m
What could this crook know about anything?
B E
I thought I'd screech in the face of death but
A
I went into liquidation like my businesses.
[Chorus]
F#m B E A
It hurts to show but it's not easy knowing what I know
F#m B
When I'm down, I'm so down
E A
If I expressed myself, then you wouldn't stick around me.
F#m B E A
Save yourself, a love like this is bad for your health.
F#m B E A
Save yourself from the woman who loves you.
[3rd Verse]
F#m B E A
It hurts to show and it's not easy knowing what I know
F#m B
When I'm down, I'm so down
E A
If I expressed myself, then you wouldn't stick around me.
[Ending]
F#m B E A
I'm no mystic but you can trust me with the rest of it
F#m B E
I was a flight risk in my time. If not for you,
A
then rest assured I'd go without this life.
