Intro 1
(G major) (E minor) (D major) (C major)
Verse 1
(G major) Road like
the surface of the moon
A (E minor) Detroit neighborhood left to ruin
(D major) Gil at the wheel, showing me the sight
Of this crumbling em (C major) pire
(G major) Following suit in the Atlantic mirror
(E minor) Under the Byker Bridge, they shiver
It's (D major) one for me, and one for the dead
And one for my crumbling em (C major) pire
Verse 2
I'm not preaching, (G major) I'm just talking
I don't wear (E minor) the shoes I used to walk in
But I (D major) can't help thinking
where they'd take me
In this crumbling em (C major) pire
Verse 3
My (G major) old man worked on the rail yard
(E minor) Getting his trade on the electrical board
It got (D major) privatized, the work degraded
In this crumbling em (C major) pire
My (G major) mother delivered most the
kids in this town
My (E minor) stepdad drove in
a tank for the crown
They (D major) left them homeless, down and out
In their crumbling (C major) em pire
Verse 4
And I'm not preach (G major) ing, I'm just talking
I don't wear (E minor) the shoes I used to walk in
But I (D major) can't help thinking where I'd be
In this crumbling em (C major) pire
Verse 5
In this crumbling em (G major) pire
In this crumbling (E minor) empire
In this crum (D major) bling,
in this crumbling (C major) empire
Verse 6
(G major) Earl was a kid when they threw him out
(E minor) Liv ing on the streets
down Camden Town
(D major) Under the arches, strung right out
In a crumbling (C major) em pire
(G major) Twenty five years on crack and dope
(E minor) Begging to pay for synthetic hope
Just an (D major) other kid failed
by these blokes
And their crumbling (C major) empire
Verse 7
I'm not preach (G major) ing, I'm just talking
I don't wear (E minor) the shoes I used to walk in
But I (D major) can't help thinking
where they'd take me
In this crumbling (C major) em pire
Verse 8
In this crumbling empire In (G major)
this crumbling (E minor) em pire
In this crumbling empire (D major)
In our crumbling empire
In our (C major) crumbling empire
In our (G major) crumbling (E minor) empire
In our crumbling empire
