Life?s for the living 2 -Passenger Capo 6/7
Intro-- Am,Dm,C,GG,C,Em7,Am,--Am,Dm,C,G Gadd4,G
Am Fmaj7
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
G C Cmaj7/E
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
Am Fmaj7 G,Gadd4,G
The boy laughed at the spastic, dancing around in the rain
Am Fmaj7
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heels rubbed toes
G C Cmaj7/E
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Am Fmaj7 G,Gadd4,G
Dressed in their suits and their boots, well they all look the same
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
F G C Cmaj7/E
I took myself down to the cafe to find all, the boys lost in books
Am
And crackling vinyl
F G C C7
And carved out a poem, above the urinal that read
F G
Don't you cry for the lost Smile for the living
C Cmaj7/E Am
Get what you need and give what you're given
F G Am
Life's for the living so live it, Or you're better off dead

Am Fmaj7
While the evening pulled the moon out of its packet
G C Cmaj7/E
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
Am Fmaj7 G,Gadd4,G
We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell off the wall
Am Fmaj7
While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
G C Cmaj7/E
The rain showed the rainbows, in the oil stains
Am Fmaj7 G,Gadd4,G
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no-one to call
F G
And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
C Cmaj7/E Am
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
F G C, C7
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
F G
Don't you cry for the lost Smile for the living
C Cmaj7/E Am
Get what you need and give what you're given
F G Am
Life's for the living so live it, Or you're better off dead

Am Fmaj7
Well I'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
G C Cmaj7/E
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
Am Fmaj7 G Gadd4,G
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage & loans
Am Fmaj7
Oh hell with this place, I'll go it my own way
G C Cmaj7/E
I'll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway
Am Fmaj7 G,Gadd4,G
Someday someone must be going my way home
----------------------------------------------
F G
Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
C Cmaj7/E Am
With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
F G C C7
And I'll stitch the words into my heart, with a needle and thread
F G
Don't you cry for the lost Smile for the living
C Cmaj7/E Am
Get what you need and give what you're given
F G C, C7
Life's for the living so live it, Or you're better off dead
