[Verse]
       C             G            
There is something I've been 
            F
meaning to tell you
      C             G              F
When I die I intend to walk alone
          C         G             
Through the streets where the 
         F
corner boys commend me
            C                  
For making peace with the inner 
  G                    F
child from the mobile home

           C              G    
Now I am handing back the medals 
                        F
that you pinned to my chest,
 C
We're at war,
G                          F
It's not safe out in the open
        C           G         
And the padlock you are wearing 
              C
around your neck
 C            G                
Is a target for the cold, hungry 
      F
half wits at dawn
        C             G     
Who are struggling to compose 
                      F
another drinking song

  C                      G        
I feel safe amongst the hawkers 
              F
and the gawkers

         C            G           
Telling stories scribbled downon 
             F
on decks of cards
       C                      
Flicking marbles through a mud 
G                         F
stained maze of second hand ideas
   C                G             
You draw a drag whilst admiring 
         F
the sweet heads
   C              G               
Of a city in the morning by Jack B
       F
 Yeats

   C              G               
Who's that at the door ah it's 
        F
only reality,
   C               G              
sure let him in makes sure he 
              F
wipes his feet clean
  C                G           
Let us dissect the word from the 
                           F
markets and the factories
 N.C.                               
           F
Bring me two glasses there is work 
to be done,
C                    G           
fetch me two glasses there is 
             F
work to be done

[Chorus]
C              G            
Let us compare Mothers and the 
                  F
madness in their method
C              G                 
Let us compare Fathers and the 
             F
shape of their jawlines
C              G             
Let us compare regretful sexual 
        F
encounters
C              G
Let us compare addictions, past and 
present
C              G                 
Let us compare voices that dance 
       F
in our heads
C              G                 
Let us make a pact now, let us 
          F
spit in our hands
C              G                 
Let us compare songs that we wish
        F
 we had written
C             G       C
Let us console one another.

C                   G            
There is something I've been 
                F
meaning to tell you
C          G                      F
When I die I intend to walk alone
C                   G            
through the streets where the 
                    F
corner boys salute me
C                G           
For making peace with the inner 
                            F
child from the mobile home
C                 G              
For loosing sleep with the inner 
                      F
child from the mobile home
C                 G              
For counting sheep with the inner
                       F
 child from the mobile home
