C
He spends the morning smoking foggy damp - bus stop cold.
F Am G
Darling, you're only 17, why are you scared of growing old?
C
You trace your name in the water on a classroom window
F Am G
Then with one warm breathe you watch your faith fade and your dreams go but
F G Am
There are raindrops in your raincoats (?)
C
Never bothered, too cold
F G
Oh they'll smile from a street lamp for a while
Am C
But they'll say nothing at all
F G
Said you want to be a wonderer
Am
There's a man on the bench who just keeps talking to himself
F Am G
He's got his whole life in a broken bag, and all his problems on his shelf
C
The mute-head (?) was calling but you can't hear a word he says
F Am G
Something 'bout his raincoat but his words all a blaze
F G Am
There are raindrops in your raincoats (?)
C
Never bothered, too cold
F G
Oh they'll smile from a street lamp for a while
Am C
But they'll say nothing at all
F G
Said you want to be a wonderer
Am
But your ship is anchored to a dirty city seabed
G F
And well, oh it's dragging you down
Am G F
Summer's gonna come back and kick straight to your head and strand you on the wrong side of town
Am
Yeah, you're ship is anchored to a dirty city seabed
G F
And well, oh dragging you down
Am G F
Summer's gonna come back and kick straight to your head and strand you on the wrong side of town
G F
On the wrong side of town
G F
On the wrong side of town...
C
Don't drag your feet it wears your soles right out
F Am G
Then with one step dancing, your soul's been torn right out
C
Your head is swimming just to keep your mind afloat
F Am G
You're tired of the past when you needed your raincoat
F G Am
There are raindrops in your raincoats (?)
C
Never bothered, too cold
F G
Oh they'll smile from a street lamp for a while
Am C
But they'll say nothing at all
F G
Said you want to be a wonderer
F G Am
There are raindrops in your raincoats (?)
C
Never bothered, too cold
F G
Oh they'll smile from a street lamp for a while
Am C
But they'll say nothing at all
F G Am C
Said you want to be a wonderer
F G C (let ring)
Say you want to be a wonderer...
