My Backwards Walk Lyrics

This is the live, acoustic version of Frightened Rabbit's "My Backwards Walk", 9th
track off their record The Midnight Organ Fight. Standard tuning, no capo!
Intro: C
Verse 1:
I'm working on my backwards walk
walking with no shoes or socks
and the time rewinds to the end of may
I wish we'd never met then met today
Verse 2:
I'm working on my faults and cracks,
filling in the blanks and gaps
and when I write them out they don't make sense
I need you to pencil in the rest
I'm working on drawing a straight line
and i'll draw until I get one right
it's bold and dark girl, can't you see
I done drawn a line between you and me
I'm working on erasing you
just don't have the proper tools
I get hammered, forget that you exist
there's no way I'm forgetting this
Verse 5:
I'm working hard on walking out
shoes keep sticking to the ground
my clothes won't let me close the door
these trousers seem to love your floor
Verse 6:
I been working on my backwards walk
there's nowhere else for me to go
except back to you just one last time
say yes before I change my mind, say yes before I?
Outro:
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it
You're the shit and I'm knee-deep in it, you're...
Nota Bene:
Throughout the song play the chords quite softly but emphasise the sounds towards
the higher end, the B and high E mainly, this creates the hollow sound Scott uses
in the song.
When the tab denotes an F chord, play it as an F/E Major chord, so basically don't
play the root notes on either of the E strings.
