Tabbed by: http://www.andreasvockrodt.de
[Intro]
F C/E G/D C
F C/E G/D C
[Verse]
F C/E G/D C
The half-backflip conception, state hospital birth
F C/E G/D C
The most threadbare, tall story the country has ever heard
F C/E G/D C
Brought home to breathe smoke in the arms of her mother
F C/E G/D
The blunt kitchen knife who just lays in a submissive position
C F
Beneath a national weight and the slow arc of a fist
[Chorus]
C/E C F C/E C F
Her heart beats like a breezeblock thrown down the stairs
C/E C F
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave
C/E C F
She was born into a grave
[Interlude]
F C/E G/D C
F C/E G/D C
[Verse 2]
F C/E G/D
And in the limp through years of bored schooling
C
She’s accustomed to hearing that she could never run far
F C/E G/D
A slipped disc in the spine of community
C
A bloody curse word in a pedestrian verse
F C/E G/D
Spirits in graveyards and fingers in car parks
C
She cries on the high street just to be heard
F C/E G/D
A screaming anchor for nothing in particular
C F
At the foot of the fuck of it dragging her heels in the dirt
[Chorus 2]
C/E C F C/E C F
Her heart beats like a breezeblock thrown down the stairs
C/E C F
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave
C/E C F C F
She was born into a grave
[Verse 3]
F
The cheek of youth flashed red and turned green
F
Now she lies on the pavement, she is helped to her feet
F C/E G/D
All thighs hair and magpie handbags
C
Saturday’s uniform for the ‘fuck me’ parade
F C/E G/D C
Brought home to keep warm in the arms of a plumber
F C/E G/D
Ruddy and balding who just needs a spine to dig into
C F
A chest for the head and a hand for the holding
[Chorus 3]
C/E C F C/E C F
Her heart beats like a breezeblock thrown down the stairs
C/E C F
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave
C
She was she was
[Interlude]
F C F C F C F
[Chorus 4]
C/E C F C/E C F
Her heart beats like a breezeblock thrown down the stairs
C/E C F
Her blood is thicker than concrete forced to be brave she was she was
C/E C F C/E C F
A broken elevator anthem held between floors
C/E C
But if blood is thicker than concrete
F
All is not lost
[Outro]
C F
All is not lost
C F
All is not lost
C F C F
All is not lost
C
All is not lost
