Verse 1
Well (A minor) grey clouds wrapped round
the town (F major) like elastic
(G major) Cars stood like toys
made of (C major) Taiwanese plastic
The (A minor) boy laughed at the spastic
(F major) dancing around in the rain (G major)
While (A minor) laundrettes cleaned clothes,
high (F major) heels rub toes
(G major) Puddles splashed huddles of (C major) bus stop crows
(A minor) Dressed in their suits and their boots (F major)
Well they all look the same (G major)

I (F major) took myself down to the cafe (G major) to find all

Verse 2
While the (A minor) evening pulled the moon
out (F major) of it's packet
(G major) Stars shone like buttons
on an (C major) old man's jacket
We (A minor) needed a nail but we (F major) tacked it
'til it fell of the wall
(G major)
While (A minor) pigeon's pecked trains,
(F major) sparks flew like planes
The (G major) rain showed the rainbows
in the (C major) oil stains
And we (A minor) all had new iPhone's
but (F major) no one had no one to call
(G major)

And (F major) I stumbled down
to the (G major) stomach of the town

and a (G major) mist in her eye, she said

Well I'm (A minor) sick of this town,
this (F major) blind man's forage
They (G major) take your dreams down

You can (A minor) have them back son
when you've (F major) paid off
your mortgage and (G major) loans
Oh (A minor) hell with this place,
I'll (F major) go it my own way
I'll (G major) stick out my thumb
and I (C major) trudge down the highway
(A minor) Someday someone must be (F major) going
my way (G major) home

Till then I'll (F major) make my bed from a disused (G major) car
With a (C major) mattress of leaves
and a (A minor) blanket of stars (G major)
And I'll (F major) stitch the words into my heart (G major)
with a needle and thread (C major)
