[Verse 1]
D     G/B            G/C
 I'm wandering these city streets
D                G/B          G/C
 There's nothing here for me
D              G/B           G/C
All I see is people running round
D       G/B             G/C
Buying shit they don't need

D          G/B                 
There's a man begging down on King 
G/C
Street
D       G/B             G/C
And he grabs me by the wrist
      D            G/B        
He says 'Son, you know what the 
            G/C
biggest killer in this world is?'
      D         G/B        G/C
It's not money, not drugs, not guns
               D         G/B  G/C
He said it's loneliness
           D        G/B  G/C
And it's killing me
         D         G/B  G/C
Oh this loneliness
                  D    G/B  G/C
It's bringing me down


[Chorus 1]
           Am7
And he'll sleep where the darkness 
falls
    C
He won't get no curtain calls
          G                     D
And he's only got one pair of shoes
         Am7
But he's got more serenity

          C
Than the rest of humanity
               G                   
They've been tricked into waiting 
   D
in queues
          Am7
And his father is dying
          C
He's got something inside of him
    G                            
It makes him feel more wrong than 
  D
right
         Am7
And his mother'd be lying
         C
If she said she weren't crying
    G                    D
Herself to sleep every night..
D  G/B  G/C
           Every night


D  G/B  G/C (X3)


[Verse 2]
    D            G/B         
He sees a woman waiting at the 
   G/C
station steps
D           G/B             G/C
 Her conversation fills the air
D                   G/B          
 She's telling the world about 
    G/C
the trouble she's seen
D    G/B         G/C
 But no one can hear

D  G/B  G/C

D          G/B       G/C
 He wanders in to a church with it's
 doors wide open
D             G/B          
 He's welcomed in with a half 
    G/C
hearted smile
D          G/B            G/C
 Some guy tells him he's found all 
the answers
         D                G/B      
To things like money and drugs and 
G/C
guns
                     D       
Old man says 'What about this 
   G/B    G/C
loneliness?'
                  D   G/B  G/C
Cos it's killing me
         D         G/B  G/C
Oh this loneliness
                  D    G/B  G/C
It's bringing me down



[Chorus 2]
      Am7
I'll sleep where the darkness falls
   C
I won't get no curtain calls
          G                     D
And I've only got one pair of shoes
         Am7
But I've got more serenity
          C
Than the rest of humanity
               G                   
They've been tricked into waiting 
    D
in queues
        Am7
And my father is dying
          C
He's got something inside of him
    G                            
It makes him feel more wrong than 
  D
right
        Am7
And my mother'd be lying
         C
If she said she weren't crying
    G                    D
Herself to sleep every night

 I'm wandering these city streets
D                G/B          G/C
 There's nothing here for me
