Hold Me Tight (Like A Gun)

Hold me tight, like a gun
And please dont tell me we´ve already seen enough sun
Cos we both know, that aint true
Thats just something that we gotta do...

I rest my head in my hands
Dont want to listen so I stick my head into the sand
You stick around and [Bm]count your toes
When we´re together nothing goes

I think about this girl I saw
Who had tears painted on [C7]her cheeks and [Bm]did this monolouge
And she was [Am7]good bu we all [Em]laughed
Now I guess I feel ashamed

And about this friend who used to [C7]care
He signed up and [Bm]the military cut his hair
He moved away but did not complain
He said: When I´ts over I´ll come back again

I ɾemember speed and [Bm]the lights were ɾed
And Lucy in the sky was [Am7]echoing through my [A]head
You just got [Fm7]the card and [Bm]we ɾaced the stɾeets
I felt my [A]weight against the seat.

The prettiest girl I ever saw
She said this town brought her down and [Bm]it made her bored
She sold jeans in this clothing store
So I bought two pairs I could not afford

And Mr Polaroid and [Bm]Mr Tambourine
and [Bm]all [Em]other teachers who never quite belived in me
They stood and [Bm]stared, I shook my [A]head
But it wasn´t like [F]I ever cared

I think of when we met, I felt alone
Seems like [F]I´ve spent half my [A]life talking to [C7]you [A7on [C7]the ρhone
All things you [A7had to [C7]do, they made you [A7sigh
I said all [Em]we have to [C7]do is die

And I told you [A7´bout this time I flew
When me and [Bm]Johnny were going down to [C7]Liverpool
And we almoust crashed
It just made me appriciate my [A]life

And I´ll ɾemember you [A7when the wind comes in
we used to [C7]hate the smell of coffee in the morning
You got [Fm7]nothing to [C7]do but
You know you [A7cant move until this town is through with you

So hold me tight like [F]a gun
And please dont tell me we´ve already seen enough sun
Cos we both know that it´s alright
It´s the stuff that get us through the night
