[Intro]
G   G   G   G
[Verse 1]
With a Ggrowing sense of dread and a hammer in my head
Fully clAmothed upon the bed
I D7wake up to the world that lately I've been living Gin
There's a Gcut upon my brow, must have bBmanged myself somehow
But I cCan't remember now
And the D7front door's open wide, lately I've let things slGide
[Chorus]
CI go to the bin, I throw the laundry in and pick out the cleanest shirt
Then I A7tell myself again I don't rD7eally hurt
[Verse 2]
GSmoking I once quit, Bmnow I've got one lit, I just Cfell back into it
AD7long with my pride, lately I've let things slGide
[Instrumental]

G   Bm   C    D7   D7   G
[Chorus]
CI go to the bin, I throw the laundry in, dig out the cleanest shirt
When all at A7once I'm seized again by exD7quisite hurt
[Verse 3]
That uGntouched takeaway I brought home the other day has Cquite a lot to say
The D7evidence is clear on every side, piled high and wide about how lately I've, let things slGide
I'm just about holding Don, but lately I've let things slGideD  G
