Family

Verse I:

Am

(Life) I don't know about James bond

 

But round here nobody lives twice

Am

When you're gone, you're gone, without no bye

 

Cause only a judge can give you life

This is my advice

 

Trust me, I nearly lost my life

G

3 weeks after I got this ride

 

Pissed like I had way too much wine

Am

(I) Wished I didn't get one

 

Anyway, I was going to The Macbeth booked for a set

Even though I didn't have a set one

 

Skream hit the decks, I was like check one

F

Put on a show, but it weren't my best one

G

Left it, dropped off Blacks at his destination

 

Then I was off to the next one

 

20 minutes later I was on the M1

Am

Tired, but I kept on going

 

Fell asleep without even knowing

Am

No motion in my face

 

No movement in my legs, but the car still kept going

F

Woke up, lorry, flash

 

Panic, break, skid, crash

G

Skidded more, bang, smash

 

Out cold, ribs cracked, ouch

I was in so much pain

Am

Crawled out of a M?gane that now looked like a Mini

 

When I was still on the first lane

F

Baffled, didn't even know my name

 

Fainted, too much shock in my brain

G

Surrounded by paramedics and feds

 

Trying to get up but fainted again

 

Chorus:

F G Am

See, I just want you to take a sec and hear me out

F

Don't think I'm happy cos I smile when you see me out

G E

I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared

Am

And I'm begging Lord to save me and let me Go

Am

To see my family

F

And keep it inside

G

Dry eyes, while my brother weeps

Am

Save my soul

Am

Please, Father, let me Go

F G

Keep me safe, as my mother sleeps

 

Verse II:

Am

Eyes closed, they just wouldn't open

 

I could hear voices and my phone ringing

Fighting for life, can't tell if I'm winning

 

One of the worst situations I've been in

F G

I could hear all of the angels singing

But when they stopped humming

 

My brain turned on, started running

Am

Still in pain, but it started numbing

 

The stone cold comeback I made was stunning

F

I still tried to Do a few shows

 

'cos I didn't wanna tell them that I weren't coming

G

But I was left with a permanent problem

 

Nobody knows about the pain that I'm in (sly)

Ever so cunning

 

6 weeks later, jogging and running

Am

I used the first aid kit like a drum set

 

Picked up the tools and I gave it a drumming

F

Trust me, when it comes to mistakes

 

You can't afford to let one in

G

Never done tunes for a while

 

The pipeline was blocked

 

So I learned and done a bit of plumbing

Am

They say tomorrow never dies

 

But they forgot to tell you, you can

Am

You can have a sicker clan than Wu-Tang

 

But when your time's up, that's it, it's you fam

You can try beg for another

 

Sometimes I'll be on my way to a show

G

Thinking "I just wanna see my brother"

 

Then Do a U-turn, I'm gone, one up

 

Chorus:

F G Am

See, I just want you to take a sec and hear me out

F

Don't think I'm happy cos I smile when you see me out

G E

I've had serious madnesses where I've nearly disappeared

Am

And I'm begging Lord to save me and let me Go

Am

To see my family

F

And keep it inside

G

Dry eyes, while my brother weeps

Am

Save my soul

Am

Please, Father, let me Go

F G

Keep me safe, as my mother sleeps

Am

let me Go

 

Am

To see my family

F

And keep it inside

G

Dry eyes, while my brother weeps

Am

Save my soul

Am

Please, Father, let me Go

F G

Keep me safe,
