G D C G

So you just stepped out of the front of my house and I'll never see you again.

And the door shut shut I was vacuum packed shrink-wrapped out of air

G D C G

And the spine collapsed and the eyes rolled back to stare at my starving brain,

And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away)

Down the Forth into the sea, I think I'll save suicide for another day.

[Verse 2]

G D C G

And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse and I half run away to sleep

G D C G

on a rolled up coat against the window with the strobe of the sun and the life I've led

G D C G

Am I ready to leap is there peace beneath the roar of the Forth Road Bridge?

G D C G

On the northern side there's a Fife of mine and a boat in the port for me,

[Chorus]

G C G D

And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away)

G C

Down the Forth, into the sea

G C

I'll steer myself through drunken waves

G C

These manic gulls scream it's okay

G C

Take your life give it a shake

G C

Gather up all your loose change

G C G C

I think I'll save suicide for another year.
