Jesus Christ, I never thought I was gonna do that.
I have to say there's a number of things I'm doing this evening that I never thought I'd do.
But seriously, I know it's a little strange me being on a stage like this, but the only reason I get to play any shows, but particularly one like this, is because all of you people give me your time and some of your attention and some of your love and affection.

Jesus Christ, I never thought I was gonna do that.
I have to say there's a number of things I'm doing this evening that I never thought I'd do.
_ _ Playing here being one of them.
_ But seriously, _ I know it's a little strange me being on a stage like this, but the only reason I get to play any shows, but particularly one like this, is because all of you people give me your time and some of your attention and some of your love and affection.
This _ is a collective effort, I'm not doing this on my own.
_ _ And just for the record, on Monday we're gonna announce another UK tour, we're doing every single fucking time in the UK.
We're playing everywhere.
_ I'm gonna see you there. _ _
_ I've got another song for you if that's alright.
_ [G] _ And [N] this is a funny one.
I wrote this song when I was kind of living in and hanging out in bars in North London and absolutely no one gave a shit.
And this song, I feel like this song has carried me from places like Nambuka and the flowerpot and the wheelbarrow all the way to Wembley fucking [E] arena.
_ _ _ And [F#m] so with that in mind, _ I'm gonna play this, we're all [D#] gonna sing it and I think that this might be the last time I play this song.
I feel like this is bedtime for this song.
So [D] let's sing it like we [F#] fucking mean it, alright.
[B] My name's [G#] Frank Turner, I come from Winchester in England [E] and this song is called The Ballad of Me and My [F#m] Friends. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Everybody's got themselves [D] a plan, _ and _ _ [A] _
everybody _ thinks they'll be [E] the man, including the girls, the [F#m] musicians who lack the friends to form [D] a band.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] The rest of us are DJs [E] or official club _ photographers.
[F#m] _ Tonight I'm playing another Wembley Arena [D] show.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Going through my phone book, [E] texting _ everyone I know.
[F#m] Quite a few I don't, whose numbers I found [D] there into my phone.
_ [A] They might come along anyway, [E] you never _ really _ know.
[A] _ _
None of this [E] is _ going _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
anywhere.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D]
Pretty soon [E] we'll all be [A] old and no one _ left [E] _
alive will _ really [F#m] _
care.
_ _ _ _ About [D] our glory days when we sold our souls, [E] when you're all about the _ destination [F#m] and take a fucking [D] flight.
_ [E] We're going nowhere slowly but [F#m] we're seeing all [E] the sights.
Come on!
_ [D] _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ Yes [D] I'm _ [A] definitely _ going [E] to hell, _ _ _ _ but [A] I'll have all the [E] best _ stories [A] to tell. _ _ _
