Frank Turner Vital Signs Lyrics

Vital signs - Frank Tuner
This may not be 100% but seeing as there's no other tab available for this song,
it'll have to do. It'll give you a rough guide to it anyway.
EADGBe
The main riff is based around a B5 chord I think
The high e and b strings are left open for the F#, G#m and A, this is done by playing
route of the chord with your thumb.
Intro: B5(Main Riff)
Verse 1:
This country is my canvas
I leave paint trails as I go.
I'm painting a picture
That you can only see from outer space.
My bedroom is your sofa,
I take my breakfast on the train.
Riff) G#m
I'm tired and I'm dirty, and not a second goes to waste.
Chorus:
I'll be dead but never dying, and I say that with a smile
It's just my way of trying to be aliive.
Verse 3:
Well I'll never get to grey hair
And I'll never be in the black,
E F# B5(Main Riff)
But I can tell stories that most can hardly dream.
Dreaming is a luxury,
Like stopping-staring and beauty sleep.
I'll stop when I'm finished,
F# B5(Main Riff) G#m
And sleep is for the weak.
Chorus:
I'll be dead but never dying, and I say that with a smile
It's just my way of trying to be aliive.
Heaven's in the half light, and that's where I reside,
I got a whiskey and a wry smile
I check my vital signs.
Bridge:
And when I'm gone,
The world revolves, and life goes on,
So mark no grave,
Forget my name.
A G#m F#(Let Ring)
If the song remains
And everybody's got a drink and a smile,
Well, that's just fine by me yeah.
Chorus:
Heaven's in the half-light, and that's where I reside,
I got a whiskey and a wry smile
I check my vital signs.
I'll be dead but never dying, and I say that with a smile
G#m B5(Back to main riff)
It's just my way of trying to be aliive.
Outro: B5(Main Riff)
