VERSE 1

G                            C            G    C G
This is the beginning of the rest of your life

    Em                              C              G     C G
You better start movin' like you're running out of time

    Em                 C          G
The realisation coming over your mind

                    D
That it should be a canter

 
 
CHORUS
                           G
If you could just find the answer

                       D
You know it could be a canter

                                     C
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker

                        G   C G
Mare' than half ae' the time

 
 
VERSE 2

G                            C            G    C G
This is the beginning of the rest of your life

    Em                                  C              G    C G
You better start graftin’ ‘cause you're running out of time

    Em                       C            G
The roof is on fire and it’s raining outside

 
 
CHORUS

                   D
But it should be a canter

                           G      C G
If you could just find the answer

                       D
You know it could be a canter

                                     C
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker

                        G    C G
Mare' than half ae' the time

 
 
REFRAIN

            C
Because the hardest part of the game

C
Isnae even playing the game

   C                                                  G       C G
It caring enough to care about the things that you're daein'

                      D
Oh, it's a wee cryin' shame

               G     C G C G
Here comes the rain

G                            C            G     C G
This is the beginning of the rest of your life

    Em                                  C              G    C G
You better start graftin’ ‘cause you're running out of time

    Em                    C           G
The roof is on fire, it’s raining outside

 
 
CHORUS

                   D

MIDDLE EIGHT

     G
They tell you it's no easy

     G
They tell you that it's hard

     D
They tell you it's impossible to mend a broken heart

    C
The lead role in a tragedy, pretending that it's art

    G                                    D
And it's hard to see the finish when you don't know where to start

G                                         G
A' coulda write a stanza and put you in a song

D
Detail all the times when you were right and I was wrong

C
Flashbacks to the only place I've felt like I belong

       G                            G
You'll never be a king, when you're acting like a pawn

 
 
OUTRO

            C
Because the hardest part of the game

 C
Isnae even playing the game

     C                                     G
It’s caring enough to care about playin’ again

                       D
Oh, it's a wee crying shame

               G  C G C G C G C G G G
Here comes the rain
