D (xx0232@1)                    BmThat's (x24432@1)the life of the late night bar crawler
C (x32010@1)                    EmMost (022000@1)outrageous man I met he once said,

C (x32010@1)                           EmHave (022000@1)you ever been told that something's forever,

G/Am/C/Em


Verse

To be ten different people that's easy, it's easier than being yourself
I'm the one off pretender I'm not happy, picking life off the shelf
He taught me, time wasted, is time spent well
The a mans dead if he doesn't have a story to tell
Dead if he's lying in a dirty jail cell


Chorus

Coz when your down they'll kick you, the jury doesn't matter at all
The jury doesn't matter at all
Tell me officer when your baton kissed me, did it make you feel tall?

G/Am/C/Em


Solo

C/Em/D/Bm repeat


C (x32010@1)        Em (022000@1)                DAnd (xx0232@1)no one asked you where you come from,
       BmNo (x24432@1)one told you of these times,
C (x32010@1)        Em (022000@1)                DAnd (xx0232@1)no one asked you where you come from,
       BmNo (x24432@1)one told you of these times,


Verse

This is your life don't waste it,
Why don't you run away?
A man to reckon with he knows how to persuade,
Says you won't get a sun tan in this government shade,
Does it make you quiver a little, the way they say,
"We're gonna fuck you , take a little bit of freedom away every day.


Chorus

You can shout it from the rooftops
You can shout it from the rooftops
You can shout it from the rooftops
But you can't tell it to the paper, they've already been paid.

G/Am/C/Em Repeat till end.

End on Em.
