No Capo
Standard Tuning
[Verse 1]
I'm not a Bposter boy for recreational drugs
I'm a F#32 year old man
With a pocket full of stories, a handful of songs and a three chord master Bplan
I try to be nice and enjoy myself and I take things in my F#stride
I see the poetry and the simple things that happen in my Blife
And I believe in love and family and trusting in my F#friends
Believe in myself but I also know that I don't know Beverything
So I don't take things too seriously and I like to play the F#fool
I understand the best things in life, aren't things at Ball
[Chorus]
The best Equestions go unanswered
The best Bmysteries untold
I keep my F#head head held high, keep my shoes untied, keep my movement in my Bsoul
Well if Eeverything happens for a reason
And Beverythings gonna be alright
One F#thing leads to another, these things happen all the Btime
[Verse 2]
When I Blook at the big picture and I just see loads of F#holes
Some of them so far away and some right here at Bhome
But I'm not surprised when politics sells off it's F#policies
And religion contradicts itself with every Bblasphemy
The prophecy it came and went, and I'm stood where I F#stand
In the same blue Nike hoodie with a bin bag in my Bhands
[Chorus]
The best Ejourneys are best travelled with the Bbest of friends
The F#best beginnings start before the means to an Bend
So be Ecareful, be cautious, Bbeware
F#Bollocks that's bullshit be a. Bbreath of fresh air
[Verse 3]
Well I'm not sure what fracking is, but it sounds really F#bad
Drilling holes into the hills, and poisoning the Bland
Searching for an energy that we're told that we F#need
By the people who own the shares in the fracking Bcompanies
At least we've got the internet to form our own F#opinions
Til someone that you've never met decides to outlaw Bwanking
They'll watch what you get off on, see whether they agree with F#that
It's like it was a secret that human beings Bmasturbate
[Chorus]
And if you Elet them censor one thing, then they're Bsoon gonna censor more
Til the F#things that you see aren't really Banymore
And if we Estop thinking for ourselves, then Bthings are gonna get bad
Something F#worth thinking about before things get Bout of hand

[Verse 1]

I'm not a poster boy for recreational drugs

I'm a 32 year old man

With a pocket full of stories, a handful of songs and a three chord master plan

I try to be nice and enjoy myself and I take things in my stride

I see the poetry and the simple things that happen in my life

And I believe in love and family and trusting in my friends

Believe in myself but I also know that I don't know everything

So I don't take things too seriously and I like to play the fool

I understand the best things in life, aren't things at all

[Chorus]

The best questions go unanswered

The best mysteries untold

F# B

I keep my head head held high, keep my shoes untied, keep my movement in my soul

Well if everything happens for a reason

And everythings gonna be alright

F# B

One thing leads to another, these things happen all the time

[Verse 2]

B F#

When I look at the big picture and I just see loads of holes

Some of them so far away and some right here at home

But I'm not surprised when politics sells off it's policies

And religion contradicts itself with every blasphemy

The prophecy it came and went, and I'm stood where I stand

In the same blue Nike hoodie with a bin bag in my hands

[Chorus]

E B

The best journeys are best travelled with the best of friends

F# B

The best beginnings start before the means to an end

E B

So be careful, be cautious, beware

F# B

Bollocks that's bullshit be a. breath of fresh air

[Verse 3]

Well I'm not sure what fracking is, but it sounds really bad

Drilling holes into the hills, and poisoning the land

Searching for an energy that we're told that we need

By the people who own the shares in the fracking companies

At least we've got the internet to form our own opinions

Til someone that you've never met decides to outlaw wanking

They'll watch what you get off on, see whether they agree with that

It's like it was a secret that human beings masturbate

[Chorus]

E B

And if you let them censor one thing, then they're soon gonna censor more

F# B

Til the things that you see aren't really anymore

E B

And if we stop thinking for ourselves, then things are gonna get bad

F# B

Something worth thinking about before things get out of hand
