E5                            C5
Well great clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
G5                              D5
Cars stood like toys made from Taiwanese plastic
     E5                        C5                    D5
the boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
G5                               D5
While laundrettes clean clothes high heals rub toes
     E5                        C5
Puddles splashed huddles of bus top crows
G5                               D5                                C5
Dressed in their suits and their boots where they all looked the same
     E5                        C5
I took myself down to the cafe to find all, 
    G5                      D5
the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl, 
   E5                 C5                    D5       
and carved out a poem above the urinal that read..


          E5                D5
Don't you cry for the lost, smile for the living, 
G5                     C5
get what you need and give what your given, 
E5                        C5                           D5
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.


     E5                          C5
Well the evening pulled the moon out of its package
    G5                             D5
The stars shun like buttons on an old mans jacket
   E5                   C5                              D5
We needed a nail but we tapped it till it fell off the wall
      G5                  D5
While pigeons Peg drains sparks flew like planes 
    E5                             C5
the rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
   G5                       D5                    E5
We all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
     G5                      D5
When I stumbled down to the stomach of the town 
      E5                           C5
where the window takes memories to slowly drown, 
       G5                     D5                  E5
with a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said..


          E5                D5
Don't you cry for the lost, smile for the living, 
G5                     C5
get what you need and give what your given, 
E5                        C5                           D5
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.


    E5                     C5          
I'm sick of this town this blind mans forage
   G5                             D5
we take the dreams down and they stick em in storage
    E5                       C5                                      D5
and you can have em back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
   G5                        D5    
oh hell with this place ill go it my own way 
     E5                     C5
I'll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway
G5                       D5            C5
someday someone must be going my way home
           E5                      C5
until then I'll make my bed from a Disused car 
           G5                         D5
and with a mattress and leaves and a blanket of stars 
      E5                         C5                       D5
and I stitched the words into my heart with a needle and thread..


          E5                D5
Don't you cry for the lost, smile for the living, 
G5                     C5

E5                        C5                           D5
