Em: 022000
G: 320003 [Verse 1]
D I found a home away from home
Bm As I broke up in Amarante
F#m In the Campo do Carvalhal
Em Centre circle everyday
D Erratic kamikaze
Bm I co-piloted the swift
F#m Dreamt I'm anchoring that midfield
Em Like the anchor in my midriff
D I drifted through a month alone
Bm As I broke up in Amarante
F#m Nursed a two beer buzz four whole weeks
Em 'Cause it's the only way to feel sane
D The newspaper front on the counter top
Bm Emblazoned spot kick miss
F#m I couldn't even hum in your mother tongue
Em Just a thumbs down raspberry kiss [Chorus]
D (It seems unfair)
Bm To be a rotten horn of plenty
G (It seems unfair)
Em G To be cadaver for a curse
D (It seems unfair)
Continues after the ad
Bm To be an overflow for empty
G (It seems unfair)
Em G D To try your best but feel the worst [Verse 2]
D I threw an empty bottle from way up
Bm In thudded into the maw
F#m Truth be told I spent the afternoon
Em And I threw fifteen more
D I'm woken by a honking horn
Bm Hungover, spread-eagle
F#m Strength between the clicking crickets' knees
Em Enough to crush my skull [Chorus]
D (It seems unfair)
Bm To be a rotten horn of plenty
G (It seems unfair)
Em G To be cadaver for a curse
D (It seems unfair)
Bm To be an overflow for empty
G (It seems unfair)
Em G D To try your best but feel the worst [Instrumental]
D Bm F#m Em
D Bm F#m Em [Bridge]
D Bm You really can't complain
G Em It's just a holiday
D Bm You fill a wall chart out
G Em Thirty-one days away
D Bm F#m Em
D Bm F#m Em [Chorus]
D It seems unfair
Bm To be a rotten horn of plenty
G Seems unfair, To be...
Em G (Nah, I'm gonna need you to help me out here)
D (It seems unfair)
D To be an overflow for empty
D (It seems unfair)
D To try your best but feel the worst
D (It seems unfair)
Bm G Em It seems unfair to be a rotten horn of plenty
D (It seems unfair)
Bm G Em It seems unfair to be cadaver for a curse
D (It seems unfair)
Bm G Em It seems unfair to be an overflow for empty
D (It seems unfair)
Bm G Em D It seems unfair to try your best but feel the worst
