D
Build a bridge or maybe two
D
Together held with footsteps she outgrew
                 Em     G               D
But now she sits alone, everyone's long gone
D
She dances in a photograph
D
When it was good to joke and have a laugh
             Em         G       D
But that was yesterday, if only today
        G
Now the walls are crawling faces
           D
that still breathe
    G                                    A
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep

(Chorus 1)


            D
She hears a chorus of factory girls
G
Singin' in the streets
C
Drinkin' their coca-colas
      A
After washing your filthy sheets


                 D
Chasin' down the avenue
D
After a childhood that she never knew
           Em
Choking on woodbine
G                        D
Cigarettes just kill the time
        G
Now the walls are crawling faces
           D
that still breathe
    G                                    A
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep

(Chorus 2)
            D
She hears a chorus of factory girls
G
Singin' aoin and all
C
Empty are their pockets
          A
But their voices are filled with song


         D
Come day go day
                        A
Wish in my heart it was Sunday
                    G       A
Drinking buttermilk all the week
                 D
And whiskey on a Sunday (traditional)


G
Now the walls are crawling faces
           D
that still breathe
    G                                    A
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep

(Chorus 1)

(Chorus 2)


                       D
Slayed Richard and his court of Kings
D
He stole my heart and many other things
                  Em
But me I took his crown
G                            D
Wish he was here to steal it now
