[Intro]

G, Bm, A, G, D, A, G, Bm, A, D


[Verse 1]

            G
I’ve got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket
Bm                       A
Wont get to space cos I haven’t got a rocket
         G
But I’ve air in my lungs
Eyes in my sockets
      D
And a heart that beats
       A
Like a tap that leaks
        G
In the night when you haven’t got a plumber who can stop it
 Bm               A
Jack in a box without a key to lock it
          F#m                    G
Well this boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it
         A                   Bm
Cos the sea doesn’t know my name
         F#m                   G
Yeah the boat may sink but I’m not gonna rock it
         A                   D
Cos the sea doesn’t know my name


[Chorus]

             G
Well if you can’t get what you love
    D                  A
You learn to love the things you’ve got
        G
If you can’t be what you want
     D               A
You learn to be the things you’re not
         G
If you can’t get what you need
     Bm                 A                            G  Bm
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
         A                     D
All the things that stop you dreaming


[Verse 2]

               G
Well I’ve got no ones word and no bodies promise
 Bm                          A
Not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets
         G
And my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest
       D
And my word is true
          A
Like the sky is blue
        G
In the summer time when everybody gets on it
Bm                      A
Warm our skins and get sunburnt from it
        F#m                      G                       
And our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
      A                Bm
that shoot like silver trains
          F#m                      G
Yeah our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
      A                D
that shoot like silver trains


[Chorus]

             G
Well if you can’t get what you love
    D                  A
You learn to love the things you’ve got
        G
If you can’t be what you want
     D               A
You learn to be the things you’re not
         G
If you can’t get what you need
     Bm                 A                            G  Bm
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
         A                     D
All the things that stop you dreaming

             G
Well if you can’t get what you love
    D                  A
You learn to love the things you’ve got
        G
If you can’t be what you want
     D               A
You learn to be the things you’re not
         G
If you can’t get what you need
     Bm                 A                            G  Bm
You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming
         A                     D
All the things that stop you dreaming
          A                    G
All the things that stop you dreaming
