           Am                     
Well grey clouds wraped round the 
F7M
town like elastic
 G                          
Cars stood like toys made of 
  C         Em7
Taiwanese plastic
    Am                        
The boy laughed at the spastic 
  F7M                G    G4    G
dancing around in the rain
       Am                          
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, 
     F7M
high heals rub toes
 G                          C     
Puddles splashed huddles of bus 
   Em7
stop crows
  Am                             
Dressed in their suits and their 
F7M
boots well they all
         G    G4    G
look the same

   F                       G      
I took myself down to the cafe to 
             C            Em7
find all the boys lost in books
      Am      G
and crackling vinyl
     F                 G      
And carved out a poem above the 
               C    C7  C  C7
urinal that read
            F
Don't you cry for the lost
  G
Smile for the living
 C           Em7       Am    
Get what you need and give what 
           G
you're given
 F                        G
Life's for the living so live it
                      Am
Or you're better off dead

          Am                      
While the evening pulled the moon 
F7M
out of it's packet
  G                            C  
Stars shone like buttons on an old
        Em7
 man's jacket
    Am                   F7M      
We needed a nail but we tacked it 
                   G    G4    G
'til it fell of the wall
       Am                          
While pigeon's pecked trains, 
    F7M
sparks flew like planes
     G                            
The rain showed the rainbows in 
C       Em7
the oil stains
       Am                       
And we all had new iPhones but 
F7M                G    G4    G
no one had no one to call

    F                       G
And I stumbled down to the stomach 
of the town
           C           Em7     Am
Where the widow takes memories to
          G
 slowly drown
        F                     G   
With a hand to the sky and a mist 
                C    C7  C  C7
in her eye she said
            F
Don't you cry for the lost
  G
Smile for the living
 C           Em7       Am    
Get what you need and give what 
           G
you're given
 F                        G
Life's for the living so live it
                      Am
Or you're better off dead

( Em  F  C  Em7  Am )
( Em  G  G4  G )

          Am                    
Well I'm sick of this town, this 
   F7M
blind man's forage
      G                          C
They take your dreams down and 
             Em7
stick them in storage
         Am                    
You can have them back son when 
         F7M
you've paid off
                   G    G4    G
your mortgage and loans
    Am                           
Oh hell with this place, I'll go it 
F7M
my own way
       G                        C 
I'll stick out my thumb and I 
            Em7
trudge down the highway
 Am                     F7M       
Someday someone must be going my 
  G    G4    G
way home

          F                      
Till then I'll make my bed from a 
  G
disused car
        C           Em7       
With a mattress of leaves and a 
    Am         G
blanket of stars
           F                     
And I'll stitch the words into my 
  G                         C    
heart with a needle and thread
C7  C  C7

            F
Don't you cry for the lost
  G
Smile for the living
 C           Em7       Am    
Get what you need and give what 
           G
you're given
          F                      
You know life's for the living so 
  G
live it
                      C    C7  C  C7
Or you're better off dead

            F
Don't you cry for the lost
  G
Smile for the living
 C           Em7       Am    
Get what you need and give what 
           G
you're given
 F                        G
Life's for the living so live it
                       C
Or you're better off dead
