[G] [Bm] [Am] [G] [D] [G] [Bm]
[G] [Bm] [Am] [G] [D]
[Em] Well grey clouds wrapped [C] around the town like elastic
[D] Coaster like [G] toys made of Taiwanese plastic
[Em] Boy laughed at the spastic [C] dancing around [D] in the rain
[Em] While laundrettes cleaned [C] clothes, high heels rubbed [D] toes
Puddles splashed huddles [G] of bust [D] up crows
[Em] Dressed in their suits [C] and their boots where they all [D] look the same
[C] Took myself down [D] to the cafe to find all [G] the boys [D] lost in books [G] and [D] crackling vinyl
[C] Carved out a poem
[D] above the urinal that [G] read
[C] Don't you cry for the lost
[D] Smile for the living
[G] Get [Bm] what you need [Em] and give [D] what you're given
[C] Life's for the living [D] so live it or you're better [G] off dead
[Am] [G]
[D] [G] [D] [Em] [Am] [G]
[D] [Em] Well the evening pulled the [C] moon out [G] of its pocket
[D] Stars shone like buttons [G] on an old [D] man's jacket
[Em] Needed a nail, [C] but we tacked it till it fell [D] off the wall
[Em] While pigeons pegged trains, [C] sparks flew like [D] planes
The rain showed the rainbows [G] in the oil [D] stains
[Em] When we all had new iPhones, [C] but no one had no [D] one to call
[C] I stumbled down [D] to the skunk of the town [G] where the widow [D] takes memories [Em] to slowly [D] drown
[C] With a hand to the sky [D] and a mist in her eyes, [G] she said
[C] Don't you cry for the lost
[D] Smile for the living
[G] Get [D] what you need [Em] and give what [D] you're given
[C] Life's for the living [D] so live it or you're better [Em] off dead
[Bm] [C] [G] [D]
[Em] [Bm] [D]
[Em] [Bm] [C] [G] [D]
[Em] [Bm] [D]
[Em] I'm sick of this town
[C] It's blind man's forage
[D] You take your dreams down [G] and they stick them in [D] storage
[Em] You can have them back son [C] when you paid off your mortgage [D] and loans
Oh [G] hell with this place
[C] I go it my own way
[D] I stick out my thumb [G] and I trudge [D] down the highway
[G] Someday someone [C] must be going [D] my way home
Till [C] then I'll make my bed [D] from a disused car
[G] With a mattress [D] of leaves [Em] and a blanket of [D] stars
And [C] I stitch the words into [D] my heart with a needle [G] and thread
Don't [C] you cry for the lost
[D] Smile for the living
[G] Get what [D] you need [Em] and give what [D] you're given
[C] You know life's [D] for the living so live it or you're better [G] off dead
[C] Don't you cry for the lost
[D] Smile for the [Em] living
Get what you need and give what [D] you're given
[C] Life's for [D] the living so live it or you're better off
