           Am                     Fmaj7Well grey clouds wraped round the town like elastic
 G                            C         Em7Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
    Am                          Fmaj7                G    Gadd4    GThe boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
       Am                               Fmaj7While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rub toes
 G                          C        Em7Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
  Am                             Fmaj7                        G    Gadd4    GDressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
 

   F                       G                   C            Em7         Am      GI took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
     F                 G                     C    C7And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
            F         Don't you cry for the lost
  G    Smile for the living
 C           Em7       Am               GGet what you need and give what you're given
 F                        GLife's for the living so live it
                      AmOr you're better off dead


Dm, C, G, C, Em7, Am, Dm, C, G, Gadd4, G

          Am                      Fmaj7While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
  G                            C          Em7Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
    Am                   Fmaj7                         G    Gadd4    GWe needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
       Am                              Fmaj7While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
     G                            C       Em7The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
       Am                       Fmaj7                G    Gadd4    GAnd we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
 

    F                       G              And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
           C           Em7     Am          GWhere the widow takes memories to slowly drown
        F                     G                   C    C7With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
            F         Don't you cry for the lost
  G    Smile for the living
 C           Em7       Am               GGet what you need and give what you're given

                      AmOr you're better off dead
