Verse:
F#5                                                 E5
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life cos it's the one we'll never know
F#5                                             E5
And quit running for that runaway bus cos those rosey days are few
G5                            F#5
And stop apologising for the things you never done
A5 riff
Time is short and life is cruel
                                             D5 riff
But it's up to us to change this town called malice.

F#5                                        E5
Rows and rows of disused milk-floats stand dying in the dairy yard
F#5                                          E5
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
G5                                  F#5
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
A5 riff
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious
                 D5 riff
In a town called malice, yeah

F#5                  E5
Ba ba ba ba bada ba, ba baba bada ba (x2)
G5                        F#5
Struggle after struggle, year after year
A5 riff
The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
                                            D5 riff
I'm almost stone cold dead in a town called malice

(Bridge)
F#5 (once)         F#5 - F5 - E5 (once)          E5 - F5
A whole streets belief in Sunday's roast beef
F#5 (once)       F#5 - F5 - E5 (once)
Gets dashed against the Co-Op
A5
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
                                           D5 riff
It's a big decision in a town called malice

F#5                    E5
Ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
F#5                                 E5
It's at the moment bound for nowhere just going round and round
G5                                    F#5
Playground kids and creaking swings, lost laughter in the breeze
A5 riff
I could go on for hours and I probably will but,
                                                 D5 riff
I'd sooner put some joy back in this town called malice.

Outro/D5 riff
Town called malice
Oooh yeah, town called malice etc.
