Verse 1

G D C G So you just stepped out of the front of my house and I'll never see you again. G D C G I closed my eyes for a second and when they opened you weren't there. G D C G 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,

Chorus

G C G D And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away) G C G 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.
