F#m        Bm            F#m
See the man in the corner of the tap room
    F#m            Bm             F#m
The froth from the beer is on his lip
         F#m           Bm                F#m
And it's rose-coloured where the skin is glowing
        F#m       Bm     F#m
And the domino is at his fingertip
       A          Bm             D
And he prays each night that his family's alright
                  F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
And he's got work

[Verse 2]
          F#m    Bm            F#m
See the lollipop lady by the roadside
                F#m        Bm         F#m
Some days, the kids are so hard to control
         F#m        Bm                     F#m
But they bring her lots of presents on her birthday
          F#m          Bm                F#m
And their little faces make her feel so old
        A          Bm             D
And she prays each night that her family's alright
D                   F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
And she's got work

[Chorus]

A                 E     F#m
Strange as it may seem, we all pray for simple things
A                    E       F#m
Strangers share your dreams, who knows what their prayers will bring
A                    E          F#m
Love and health is all, til you falter in your steps and fall
A              E       C#m
We all live on dreams

[Instrumental]
F#m Bm F#m (x8)

[Verse 3]
        F#m        Bm       F#m
See the lad on the Saturday terraces
         F#m           Bm            F#m
With his collar pulled up around his chin
            F#m       Bm                F#m
His side is two goals down and playing lousy
       F#m                Bm            F#m
But he still believes his team is gonna win
       A          Bm             D
And he prays each night that his family's alright
D
And he's got work

[Chorus]

A                 E     F#m
Strange as it may seem, we all pray for simple things
A                    E       F#m
Strangers share your dreams, who knows what their prayers will bring
A                    E          F#m
Love and health is all, til you falter in your steps and fall
A              E       C#m
We all live on dreams

[Chorus]

A                 E     F#m
Strange as it may seem, we all pray for simple things
A                    E       F#m
Strangers share your dreams, who knows what their prayers will bring
A                    E          F#m
Love and health is all, til you falter in your steps and fall
A              E       C#m
We all live on dreams
