C G C G
6AM's early but I've been sleeping my days short,
C G
So I got the northbound train to Junction.
C G
I rode my skateboard and collected rocks on the way
C G C G
I woke you up for the first time ever,
C G
Made you coffee, you couldn't believe your eyes
C G
Get out of bed, you know I'm not here to f-ck around
C C
I rode the bowls while you sat on the verge and read
G C Em D G C Em D
If I ever see you ride your bike away from me
G C Em D G C G
I swear I'll chase you all the way back to Hackney
G C Em D x4
G Em
I'm learning to appreciate the small things, not always action impulse
G Em C D
But to think while you're rolling your next cigarette
G Em
I'm taking in the pleasure from the freshly cut grass
G Em C D
Because you know I just act like I know what I'm doing here.
C D
Like I know what I'm doing here.
C D
Yeah I don't know what I'm doing here.
G C Em D G C Em D
If I ever see you ride your bike away from me
G C Em D G C G
I swear I'll chase you all the way back to Hackney
