The Real Damage 
Frank Turner

Tabbed by Stuart Mansbridge

INTRO
G

VERSE1
G
I woke up on a sofa in an unfamiliar house, 
C 			G
Surrounded by sleeping folks I didn't know
D 
On failing to find my friends
Am		C
I decided that it was clearly time to go

G D G

VERSE2
So I made my way out of the door as quietly as I could
There was no one there I knew to say goodbye, 
Squinting in the sadly sobering sunshine
Of the Sunday morning light

CHORUS 1
C
I started the night with all my friends
 Am
and I  ended up alone
	G	D
Oh yes, I started out so happy
	C
now I'm  hung over and down
D
it was about then that I realised 
Am
I was halfway through
C		G
the best years of my life

G D G

VERSE3
I scanned the local landmarks, trying to find out where I was
And maybe even find a bus back home 
I was longing for a shower, and for clean sheets
And a charger for my phone 

G D G

VERSE4
Suddenly it hit me that I got paid this Friday last
And so I rifled through my pockets for some change 
But all I found was a packet of broken cigarettes
And a sinking sense of shame

CHORUS 2 / MIDDLE
C
I started the night with all my friends
 Am
and I  ended up alone
	G	D
Oh yes, I started out so happy
	C
now I'm  hung over and down
D
it was about then that I realised 
Am
I was halfway through
C 		D
the best years of my life
I had to ask myself well...
G D C
Is it really worth it? 
G D C
Is any of this worth it?
G D C
Well the whole thing's far from perfect,
Am C D                               Cadd9 Cadd9/B Aadd9
But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.

VERSE5
Too many suits and dirty looks made me rack my brains
The real damage started to sink in 
It had been quite a heavy weekend 
And I could just about remember where I'd been. 

CHORUS3
C
Well I started the night with all my friends
Am
And I ended up alone, 
G 	D 	C
I started out so happy now I'm hungover and down. 
D		 Am	 C
I stood on a street corner and I felt a little sick
D 
It was about then that I realized
Am 
I was halfway through
C 		G
The first day of the week

G D G D G
