SS by powderfinger

This is a B-side off Double Allergic and starts at about 11.35 on the
last track. It's called "SS" -an abreviation of Stuart Surridge- which I
presume is a reference to the maker of cricket bats (cricket being one
of the band's favourite hobbies). There are some cricket references in
the song, I think :)
Corrections welcome!

Drop D tuning (trust me, listen to the bridge)

Verse 1:
Sweetest jolting of the memory
Little secrets become fantasy
Stuart Surridge never grew in time
Little boys they feel safe inside

CHORUS:
F                     E              A
These things are mine for always
                E                   C#                A                
We can hold our breath 'till we all turn blue
                               E              D                 A
Then we'll race like jets for the fading moon
F#m                 C#
Then we all fall down

VERSE 2: (main riff)
Borrowed courage from the gravel pitch
Through one day until the roof was hit
Stuart Surridge never grew in time
Little boys they feel safe inside

CHORUS (same as before)
These things are mine for always
We can hold our breath 'till we all turn blue
Then we'll race like jets for the fading moon
Then we all fall down

Safe inside
Safe inside
Little boys they feel safe inside
Little boys they feel safe inside

SOLO: (anybody wanna try to tab it?)

Little boys they feel safe inside (X4)

Roof was hit 
Stuart Surridge never grew in time
