The Strays

E
Hubcaps & ashtrays
B     A9
I was born
B           A9
But wasn't raised
E
The big wheel
The black space
B         A9
Tried my best
 B          E
But wasn't praised

A9
Hell is so close to heaven
Hell is so close to heaven

E        B              C#m
Hold on don't look back
          A9
You know we're better, we're better than that
E           B        C#m
  Lost and thrown away
          A9
You know we're better, we're better than that

C#m      B         A9
   We are   the strays
C#m      B        A9
   We are  the strays

E
The train tracks
To the stage
B            A9
Played that role
B           A9
The one you made
E
The long nights
To the worst days
B         A9
Lived it all
B             E
But I didn't break

A9
Hell is so close to heaven
Hell is so close to heaven

E        B              C#m
Hold on don't look back
          A9
You know we're better, we're better than that
E          B        C#m
Lost and  thrown away
          A9
 You know we're better, we're better than that

C#m      B       A9
   We are the strays
C#m      B       A9
   We are the strays

E
  My whole life they said I'd be nothing
But I'm something
I would rather be the stray
         B
Than be nothing to no one at all
