Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

Right, I got asked to do this tab by someone, and I also think this is probably the best 
song of the When We Were Lions EP, so I thought I should give it a shot. Funny twiddly 
guitar fills are included.

Intro: C C/B Am7 F x2

Verse: C C/B Am7 F C C/B 
F F x2

Spoken like a young man trying to get himself on the wheel
My feet are forwards but I think I'm going backwards I'm still
So far away from you
I called my brothers on the phone just to say goodbye
Cause I don't need another reason not to survive on my own
I'm moving on from here

Then I realize that I'll be on my own tonight
Shadows fold out like blankets on the ground

Run run rabbit run
Just don't get caught out by the farmer and his gun
Well hide hide rabbit hide
It's best to lose yourself before you ever lose your pride

Verse again

Spoken like a true man trying to make his way through the fields
My back is heavy and my heart is feeling empty but still
I'm so far away from you
There's no use complaining to myself
I made these shoes to walk in
And they'll walk until the end

Pre-Chorus

And then I realise that I will dream of you tonight
Shadows fold out like blankets on the ground

Run run rabbit run
Just don't get caught out by the farmer and his gun
Well hide hide rabbit hide
It's best to lose yourself before you ever lose your pride

It's best to lose yourself before you ever lose your pride
Just never lose your pride
Just never lose your pride
Oh, never lose your pride
