[B]
[Bm]
We always sing, [Em] even [E] when we're losing
Cause [G] Dublin's gone us hard enough, especially when you're [Em] down [E] and you're bruising
We [Em]
sing the El Triangle and then the Tommy Rhine
Cause all the world's a jail and [A] we can't remember why
[Em] Why we agreed to live and lie [G] in [Bm] embers of a cold out fire
Nobody [G] remembers, [D] they hand the ashes back to me
Down the Bolton factory [A] where cattle at the stall
[Em]
[A] We [Em] look [Bm] for signs that [Em] Dublin's [E] heart's still beating
[G] That hungry and glass and pillars and mass, they haven't stopped the people [E] from screaming
Been
[Em] trapped by all the cameras, you're inclined to stay at home
[G] And forget some songs [Em] were written [A] to remind you you weren't born
Born [Em] to live and lie in [Bm] embers of a cold out fire
Nobody [G] remembers, [D] they hand the ashes back to me
Down the Bolton [A] factory where cattle at the stall
[G] We [A] see [Bm] the cracks under [E] the foundation
[G]
Smoldering on [Em] the faces [G] of the people on the [E] drip of isolation
We
[Em] hear the sounds come streaming across the crackling air
[G] The broken words of swine [A] who will tell us that we were
[Em] Born to live and lie in [Bm] embers of a cold out fire
Nobody remembers, [D] they hand the ashes back to me
Down the Bolton factory [A] where cattle at the stall
[Em] How we ended we agreed to live and lie in [Bm] embers of a cold out fire
Nobody [D] remembers, they hand the ashes back to me
Down the Bolton factory [A] where cattle at the stall
