Gene Pitney 
Town Without Pity 
    
Gm 
When you're young and so in love as we 
Cm 
And bewildered by the world we see 
Fm 
Why do people get a soul 
A#m 
Only those in love would know 
Am            D7 
What a town without pity can do... 
 

Gm 
If we stop to gaze upon a star 
Cm 
People talk about how "bad" we are 
Fm 
Ours is not an easy age 
A#m 
We're like tigers in a cage 
Am            G 
What a town without pity can do 
 

            C 
The young have problems 

Many problems 
            A 
We need an understanding heart 
            C 
Why don't they help us 

Try to help us 
G                Cm             
Before this plain granted planet falls apart 

 
Gm 
Take these eager lips and hold me fast 
Cm 
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last 
Fm 
How can we keep love alive 
A#m 
How can anything survive 
Am                  D7 
When these little minds tear you in two 
Am            G 
What a town without pity can do 
 
(instrumental break)

Bm                  Fm 
No it isn't very pretty what a town without pity... 
G   Bm 
Can do
