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