Canter

[Intro]
G C G Em C Bm Am
Em D

[Verse 1]
G                            C
This is the beginning of the rest of your life
G C
G    Em                              C
 You better start movin' like you're running out of time
G C
G    Em                     C
 The realisation coming over your mind

[Chorus]
G C G                       D
     That it should be a canter
                              G  C G
If you could just find the answer
                          D
You know it could be a canter
                                        C
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker
More than half of the time
G C G

[Verse 2]
G                            C
This is the beginning of the rest of your life
G C
G    Em                                 C
 You better start grafting cause you're running out of time
G C
G    Em                           C
 The roof is on fire and it's raining outside

[Chorus]
G C G                      D
     But it should be a canter
                              G  C G
If you could just find the answer
                          D
You know it could be a canter
                                        C
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker
More than half of the time
G C
G            C
 Because the hardest part of the game

[Interlude]
Isn't even playing the game
It's caring enough to care about the things that you're
doing
G C G
     Oh it's a wee crying shame
D               G
 Here comes the rain

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
G                            C
This is the beginning of the rest of your life
G    Em                                 C
 You better start grafting cause you're running out of time
G C
G    Em                           C
 The roof is on fire and it's raining outside

[Chorus]
G C G                      D
     But it should be a canter
                              G  C G
If you could just find the answer
                          D
You know it could be a canter
                                        C
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker
More than half of the time

[Verse 4]
G C G     G
     They tell you it's no easy
They tell you that it's hard
     D
They tell you it's impossible to mend a broken heart
    C
The lead role in a tragedy pretending that it's art
     G                               D
It's hard to see the finish when you don't know where to
start
G
I coulda write a stanza and put you in a song
D
Detail all the times when you were right and I was wrong
C
Flashbacks to the only place I felt like I belonged
       G                              D
You'll never be a king when you're acting like a pawn

[Interlude]
            C
Because the hardest part of the game
Isn't even playing the game
It's caring enough to care about playing the game
G
 Oh it's a wee crying shame
D               G
 Here comes the rain
