Verse 1 Chords:
C                                 C
  So you just stepped out of the front of my house
          F                    C
and I'll never see you again.
                        C                    F
I closed my eyes for a second and when they opened
                   C
You weren't there.
                             C
And the door shut shut I was vacuum packed, 
        F                  C
Shrink-wrapped out of air
                                 C
And the spine collapsed and the eyes rolled back
     F
To stare at my starving brain,
 
Chorus Chords:
C                     F          C          C
   And fully clothed,   I float away (I'll float away)
C
Down the Forth
F                                                      C
Into the sea, I think I'll save suicide for another day.
 
Verse 2: Use verse 1 chords
And I picture this corpse on the M8 hearse
And I half run away to sleep on a rolled up coat
Against the window  with the strobe of the sun
And the life I've led
Am I ready to leap is there peace beneath
The roar of the Forth road bridge?
On the Northern side there's a Fife of mine
and a boat in the port for me,
 
Final Chorus:
C            F               C           C
  And fully clothed, I float away (I'll float away)
G                C  (play this C on thru the next 5 lines)
Down the Forth, into the sea
I'll steer myself through drunken waves
These manic gulls scream it's okay
Take your life give it a shake
Gather up all your loose change
                                           C F C F (to fade out)
I think I'll save suicide for another year.
