Halfway through playing the A chord Ryan turns it into an A7 (we are getting technical 
here people. This is achieved by adding a little finger to the e string on the third fret 
to make the A an A7 (please see below below). This is a fantastic little nuance that is  
used a lot in Cribs songs.

          D                         F#m 
With your knife and your bottle and silver spoon 
Bm                       A 
No one knows what you're going to do 
          D            F#m              Bm          A 
So stay away from everything that isn't true 
             D                F#m 
Cause when I hung around with someone else 
Bm              A 
Take your anger off the shelf 
       D                     F#m               Bm 
And arrange it in a way that no one else could do 
    A 
But you 

                D                 F#m 
Cause if you're dying I'd like to know 
              Bm               A 
And if you're on one I need to show 
               D                F#m 
Cause you were saying you was alone 
             Bm                    A 
Well there's something you need to know 

    D               F#m 
I'm sixteen and I'm really bored 
           Bm 
"But we're not going to use you we're 
     D                  A 
just scared we're gonna lose you" 
D                 F#m             Bm 
Things are better when you are on board 
    A 
I'm sure 

              D                 F#m 
But if you're dying I'd like to know 
              Bm               A 
And if you're on one I need to show 
               D              F#m 
Cause you were saying you was alone 
             Bm                    A 
Well there's something you need to know 
              D            F#m 
That you will always be my hero 
         Bm                      A 
With the way that you're letting go 
             D              F#m 
And you were saying you was alone 
             Bm                    A 
Well there's something you need to know
