(Ian Pimperton)

we could of been uncharted on ruin
we could of got a bit weird on our own
sending messages out to the strangers
who tried to infringe on our binging own life
so if you want a part of me
there's a roll in commentary
we've got it endorsed with a lifetime guarantee
if you hang on long enough you'll see a
scuffle on the street tonight

G
could've grown our own memories there
A
??but the goats of produce??
D
??but I’ve eliminated crime??
D
could've worked hard
G
could've got something going there
A
could've raised a few hopes
D
and could've had a good time
