FRANK TURNER - I REALLY DON'T CARE WHAT YOU DID ON YOUR GAP YEAR



                                    /
 We were only supposed to go out for the night,
                                      
 But it's been a few hours now since it got light -
                     Gmin7                                        /
 We're a mess, and the worst part is we couldn't care less.
                                         /
 There's water in the ash-tray and ash in the sink,
                                               
 The carpet's mostly soaking, but there's nothing to drink -
                        Gmin7                      
 We're a state, and we're starting to regret staying awake.


                               
 And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid,
                                 
 I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid.
                                       
 I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed.
                                                   /
 But then I never was the clever one.


 We were only supposed to go out for the night,
 I did my best to go home but in the end I lost the fight with myself -
 To be honest I was hoping I'd go home with someone else.
 And right about now I should be starting my day,
 But instead I am sat here downing the dregs of yesterday,
 All the while trying to prop up both ends of my smile.


                               
 And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid,
                                 
 I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid.
                                       
 I should have gone home when I could, but I stayed.
                                  
 But then I never was the clever one.
                                     
 But always the one to not see that I'm done and
                                  
 I need to go home and get to sleep,
                                    
 Always the last to see the moment has passed and
                           
 I need to admit my defeat.
                          
 And I'm lonely - there, I said it.
                               
 I'm lonely, but it's hard to admit it
                                                                 /        
 When everbody thinks that you're fine all the time and you're not.


            [see tab]
 So we were only supposed to go out for the night...
     [see tab]                                     
 But who am I kidding? Try as I might I can't stop
                                       
 Until I've squeezed out every last drop.


                                    
 And I'll pay for my sins when I get paid
                          
 But I don't have a penny to my name.
                                 
 I'll stop talking to girls when I get laid
                          
 But I haven't had a shower for days.
                                     
 I should've gone home when I could but I stayed,
                 
 And so I stay up alone,
                  
 And set off on my own
                                     
 To the station where I catch the first train.
