Intro:
Rake
Bm, Am, Em, F#m
Bm, Am, Em, F#m

Bm         Am
If I was a farmer,
Em           F#m
Instead of a faker,
Bm         Am
If I was a realer,
Em                F#m
and not just some raker,
Bm               Am
Raking through a memory,
Em             F#m
That doesn't belong to me,
Bm             Am
Just someone I could have been,
Em             F#m
If only I kept walking,

[chorus]
D            Bm
Have another drink my son,
D             Bm
Enjoy another cigarette,
D                  Bm
'Cos it's time you realised,
Em                     Bm
you're just an average man,

Bm         Am
Alone on a motorway,
Em               F#m
You catch you're breath,
Bm              Am
Cat's eyes lead everyway,
Em         F#m
To lonesomeness,
Bm                    Am
Then you learn how to hide your fears,
Em                F#m
And downsize your dreams,
Bm            Am
Still alive, still sincere,
Em         F#m
inside the scheme,

[chorus]

Bm         D        Em      F#m
If this is darkness here,
Bm         D        Em                Bm
If this is darkness coming,

[chorus]
