Young, Gifted And Skint
-----------------------------------
Verse 1
-----------
Young, gifted and skint, that s where it ain t
Look how easily it happened, look how easily I fell
Now I m up to here in debt, there s a noose around my neck
There s a price upon my head
Verse 2
-----------
My past was all in borrowed time, stupid, stupid borrowed time
Now that the deed is done I m waiting for the axe to fall
Fantasies grow in my brain, run away and start again
Disappear and change my name
Bridge

Chorus
----------
That man was, ah young, gifted and skint
That man says you know that s where it ain t
That man says ah go on lend me a quid
That man was....oooohhhh

Verse 3
-----------
Money makes the world go round, fear makes it turn much faster
Can t pay the rent-man a single thing, don t let the man from the Gas Board in
Maybe this is all a dream, maybe I ll wake up again
Maybe this could all be clean again . . .
Repeat Bridge and Chorus and end on F# (strum as long a you want)

Took me awhile to figure this one out. As you may be able to figure I am just starting
find my ear, so if there are any mistakes then let me know.
Thank to NMA for letting me know that I am not the only one who feels and thinks like
It was getting lonely. Ta.
