Verse 1
Am
Well grey clouds wrapped round
F
the town like elastic
G
Cars stood like toys
C
made of Taiwanese plastic
Am
The boy laughed at the spastic
F
G
dancing around in the rain
Am
While laundrettes cleaned clothes,
F
high heels rub toes
G
C
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Am
F
Dressed in their suits and their boots
G
Well they all look the same
Pre-chorus 1
F
G
I took myself down to the cafe to find all
C
Am
G
The boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
F
And carved out a poem
G
C
above the urinal that read
Chorus 1

Don't you cry for the lost

Get what you need

Verse 2
Am
While the evening pulled the moon
F
out of it's packet
G
Stars shone like buttons
C
on an old man's jacket
Am
F
We needed a nail but we tacked it
'til it fell of the wall
G
Am
While pigeon's pecked trains,
F
sparks flew like planes
G
The rain showed the rainbows
C
in the oil stains
Am
And we all had new iPhone's
F
but no one had no one to call
G
Pre-chorus 2
F
And I stumbled down
G
to the stomach of the town
C
Where the widow takes memories
Am
G
to slowly drown
F
With a hand to the sky
G
and a mist in her eye, she said
C

Verse 3
Am
Well I'm sick of this town,
F
this blind man's forage
G
They take your dreams down
C
and they stick them in storage
Am
You can have them back son
F
when you've paid off
G
your mortgage and loans
Am
Oh hell with this place,
F
I'll go it my own way
G
I'll stick out my thumb
C
and I trudge down the highway
Am
F
Someday someone must be going
G
my way home
Pre-chorus 3
F
G
Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
C
With a mattress of leaves
Am
G
and a blanket of stars
F
G
And I'll stitch the words into my heart
C
with a needle and thread
Chorus 3
F
Don't you cry for the lost

Am
G
and give what you're given

You know life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
