[Verse 1]
     Em                            
Well great clouds wrapped round the 
C
town like elastic
G                            
Cars stood like toys made from 
  D
Taiwanese plastic
     Em                       
the boy laughed at the spastic 
 C                    D
dancing around in the rain
G                               D
While laundrettes clean clothes high
 heals rub toes
     Em                        C
Puddles splashed huddles of bus top 
crows
G                               D
Dressed in their suits and their 
                                C
boots where they all looked the same

[Chorus 1]
     Em                        C
I took myself down to the cafe to 
find all,
    G                      D
the boys lost in books and crackling
 vinyl,
   Em                 C       
and carved out a poem above the 
             D
urinal that read..

          Em                D
Don't you cry for the lost, smile 
for the living,
G                     C
get what you need and give what your
 given,
Em                        C      
life is for the living so live 
                     D
it, or your better off dead.

     Em                          C
Well the evening pulled the moon out
 of its package
    G                             
The stars shun like buttons on an 
D
old mans jacket
   Em                   C         
We needed a nail but we tapped it 
                     D
till it fell off the wall
      G                  D
While pigeons Peg drains sparks flew
 like planes
    Em                             
the rain showed the rainbows in the 
C
oil stains
   G                       D      
We all had new iPhones but no one 
              Em
had no one to call

[Chorus 2]
     G                      D
When I stumbled down to the stomach 
of the town
      Em                           
where the window takes memories to 
C
slowly drown,
       G                     D    
with a hand to the sky and a mist 
              Em
in her eye she said..

          Em                D
Don't you cry for the lost, smile 
for the living,
G                     C
get what you need and give what your
 given,
Em                        C      
life is for the living so live 
                     D
it, or your better off dead.

[Verse 3]
    Em                     C
I'm sick of this town this blind 
mans forage
   G                            
we take the dreams down and they 
 D
stick em in storage
    Em                       C    
and you can have em back son when 
you've paid off your mortgage and 
D
loans
   G                        D
oh hell with this place ill go it my
 own way
     Em                     C
I'll stick out my thumb and trudge 
down the highway
G                       D        
someday someone must be going my 
    C
way home

[Chorus 3]
           Em                      
until then I'll make my bed from a 
C
Disused car
           G                       
and with a mattress and leaves and 
  D
a blanket of stars
      Em                        
and I stitched the words into my 
 C                       D
heart with a needle and thread..

          Em                D
Don't you cry for the lost, smile 
for the living,
G                     C
get what you need and give what your
 given,
Em                        C      
life is for the living so live 
                     D
it, or your better off dead.

          Em                D
Don't you cry for the lost, smile 
for the living,
G                     C
get what you need and give what your
 given,
Em                        C      
life is for the living so live 
                     D
it, or your better off dead.
