The Rifles

New track from the forthcoming second album. Lyrics pieced together from various live 
with sometimes dodgy sound quality, hence some mistakes. Cheers, Garry Lever.

D????????????????????????????????????? (xx0232@1)DRight (xx0232@1)from my eyes, runs a tear on my cheek.
BmDon't (x24432@1)want to be heard, so I can't get the blame.
BmCan't (x24432@1)hear no words, I would say its gonna rain.

DGet (xx0232@1)the queue for the bus, and then I join the line.
DSame (xx0232@1)faces for the last 10 years of my life.
BmSee (x24432@1)I'm bored of my friends, I couldn't tell you their names.
BmShattered (x24432@1)glass on the floor, kids are running again.

DOne (xx0232@1)hour passes till I'm back on my feet,
DA (xx0232@1)stones throw and I'll be walking till I'm off of the street.
BmHang (x24432@1)my coat up to dry, settle down with the herd.
BmSome (x24432@1)I really don't mind, some just get on my nerves.

DTurn (xx0232@1)my back to the clock because it slows the time,
DTake (xx0232@1)out a cigarette and hear the match strike.
BmTurn (x24432@1)the radio on to drown the sound of the rain.
BmSame (x24432@1)bands, same songs play again and again.

D (xx0232@1)                     BmAnd (x24432@1)I don't see how its ever gonna change

DFrom (xx0232@1)my days at work I move away in a haste.
DTimes (xx0232@1)never slower then when she's running away.
BmPass (x24432@1)a girl from my school but conversations brief,
BmGotta (x24432@1)catch that train get myself some relief.

DI (xx0232@1)meet up with friends and then I'm off at six.
DUp (xx0232@1)and in at five I walk around for a bit.
BmGrab (x24432@1)up all of my change and move an empty glass
BmHerds (x24432@1)through that door, glad I won't be the last.

DSee (xx0232@1)I just act quiet so you'll think I'm thick
DSaid (xx0232@1)the same last night and we were getting on it.
BmFind (x24432@1)a closing door and stumble out in the rain,
BmI (x24432@1)look up to the sky and watch it start to sleep.

D (xx0232@1)                     BmAnd (x24432@1)I don't see how its ever gonna change

G (320003@1)     A (x02220@1) Bm (x24432@1)                  G (320003@1)       
    BmTell (x24432@1)me I'm alright, say what you like from miles away.
    E (022100@1)                    G (320003@1)            A (x02220@1)         DAnd (xx0232@1)expect nothing changes except for the name of the day.

D (xx0232@1)                     BmAnd (x24432@1)I don't see how its ever gonna change
And I don't see how its ever gonna change
And I don't see how its ever gonna change
And I don't see how its ever gonna change

DTurn (xx0232@1)back up my road and make my way up the street.
DLines (xx0232@1)scream in my ear as I walk this beat.
BmFall (x24432@1)into my door, I fumble round for my key.
Bm (x24432@1)DCreap (xx0232@1)back into bed and then I pull up my sheet.
DHigh (xx0232@1)over my head and uncover my feet.
BmTill (x24432@1)the world goes dark and I'm miles away.
BmJump (x24432@1)to the alarm to start another day.
D (xx0232@1)
