[Em] [N] Shooters as a song, do you feel that that's [G#] sort of something, is it an albatross or a Victoria Cross?
Well it's an albatross in the sense that, you know, it's something people come up and talk to me about and I sort of think,
well I wish they were talking about something I'd written in the last 15 years, you know.
But it's [E] just so long ago it doesn't even seem like it's really anything to do with me.
I feel like I'm sort of playing a cover version when I play it.

[E] [B]
[E] I've been contemplating suicide
But [B]
[E] it really [Bm]
[A] doesn't suit my style
[B] So [E] I think I'll [B] just act [A] for the tip
[B]
[E] And contain the [B] blood [A] I would have shed
She [B] [E] makes me [B] feel [A] so well at ease
[B] [E] My heart is [B] [A] really on its knees
[B] [E] But I keep a poker [A] face all along
[B] [E] That even [B] mother [A] couldn't tell
[E] That my baby's so faint
But she [A] is almost a mirror [B] and [E] a curve
Tied up beneath [B] the [A] centre
Of my chivvy [E] down my spine
[B] [A]
[F#m] [E] Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, [B] [A] yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh,
[B] [E]
[B] [A]
[B] [E]
[B] [A]
[B] [E] yeh
I keep her [B] [A] photographic in my mind
[B] [E] For if my [B] life's [A] completely starry blind
[B] [E] All alcohol [A] and cigarettes
[B] [E] I've got no use [A] for cheap regrets
She [B] [E] makes me [B] feel [A] so well at [B] ease.
[E] My heart is [B] really [A] on its knees.
[B] [E] But I keep my [B] poker [A] face so well
That [B] [E] even [B] Mother [A] could tell
That [B] [E] my baby's so faint that she [A] is
Almost a [E] pyramid
Tilt up her big center
[A] Her arms shiver [B] down [E] my spine
