[Verse]
N.C.               B  
Didn't think I'd have to choose
Didn't think I'd weBar brown shoes
Didn't think that IG#m'd ever have to read abEout this in the news
You're gonna hBave a go?
Well I don't waBnt to know
G#mI just thought that I should tEry and say hello to those who'd
[Chorus]
NeEver exist without being generic
You're oBut to impress oF#ur bovine public
You'd nEever exist if you wasn't generic
You're oBut to impress oF#ur bovine public
I'll nEever forget how all this begun
And I will neBver regret a thF#ing I have done
But you would nEever exist without us so maybe I do...
[Verse]
...not hBave the time, fairweather friBends of mine
A yeG#mar's a long time when you're doing Enothing with your life
I heard you fBelt alert?
Well I'm hoping tBhat it hurt
Cos we spent G#mtoo much time doing groundwork to be gEround into the dirt by those who'd
[Chorus]
NeEver exist without being generic
You're oBut to impress oF#ur bovine public
You'd nEever exist if you wasn't generic
You're oBut to impress oF#ur bovine public
I'll nEever forget how all this begun
And I will neBver regret a thF#ing I have done
But you would nEever exist without us so maybe I do!B
