Verse 
 
Em C Am 
 
From the bottom of your heart, the relegation zone 
I saw this coming from the start 
The shake rattle and roll 
The cracks in blackout blinds cast patterns on the ceiling 
But you're feeling fine 
I thought it was dark outside 
I thought it was dark outside 
 
 
 
Em C Am 
 
(One for the road) 
So we all get back to yours and you sit and talk to me on the floor 
There's no need to show me round baby 
I feel like I've been here before 
I've been wonderin' whether later when you tell everybody to go 
Will you pour me one for the road? 
 
Verse 
 
Em C Am 
 
I knew this would be on the cards 
I knew you wouldn't fold 
I saw this comin' from the start 
The shake rattle and roll 
 
Chorus 
 
Em C Am 
 
Bridge 
 
C Em (3x) 
C B7 
 
The mixture hits you hard 
Don't get that sinking feeling 
Don't fall apart 
Some out of tune guitar 
Soundtrack to disaster 
 
Breakdown  
 
Em C Am 
 
Solo 
 
C Em 
 
Chorus  
 
C Em (3x) 
C B7
