C        Am             Em
  on the outskirts of a town
                  G
  that’s lost all meaning 
  D        C       D    Bm
  comes an old familiar feeling
                Em
  for what it’s worth
     Am       Em   D          G
  it knows my name stalls all shame

Em
  passed on
G
  from day to day
Em
  but harmless
G
  for now anyway

C                   D
  earthly, earthly, pastime
Em
  heavenly truce
C                     D
  don’t care what the leaders say about
Em
  the state of the nation
C    D         Em
  or who they accuse
C                    D               G
  they can’t break into this frame

|C      |Am     |Em     |G      |

C        Am
  a sore fact but none the less
         Em                       G
  all of us must choose the right moment
  D       C         D       Bm
  for the backstabs and revelations
                Em
  we wanna introduce
      Am      Em                D     G
  but nothing adds more than it takes away

Em
  today’s still harmless
G
  like a piece of paper
Em
  but appearing mightier
G
  with your address on it

C               D
  heavenly, heavenly truce
Em
  earthly, pastime
C                      D
  don’t care what they say about
Em
  the origin of low sin
C     D      Em
  you did me wrong
C             D             G
  I intend to put it right
