Verse 2
Am 
E 
So I turn to  the left and I turn to the right
Am 
But none of the answers are in sight
So I made a mistake maybe once or twice
E 
Am 
And I can't even get to paradise
E 
And a priest came up to me
D 
and touched my face
E 
He said terrible things happen
Am 
round this place
Such terrible things happen
E 
Am 
round this place
E 
Am 
E 
Such terrible things happen
Am

But surely son,

Verse 4
Am 
There's a little boy walking
E 
D 
up the stairs
E 
Through a dark hallway that
Am 
leads nowhere
He comes to a door but
E 
Am 
he's afraid to  knock
E 
And he stoops down low and
Am 
peers through the lock
And there's a tall man standing
with a glistening knife
D 
E 
Am 
And he's stooping over
something that has no life
With stifled tears he starts to turn away
D 
E 
But a strange little voice seems
Am 
to whisper "Stay!"

Am 
Won't somebody help
E 
Won't somebody help
Am 
E 
Am 
I'm all alone now with nothing to do
And I'm all dressed up
E 
with nowhere to go
And I'm stuck with two tickets
Am 
to an awful show
And my mouth's full of words
E 
but I've got nothing to say
Am 
E 
And I've been sitting in front
Am 
of the TV set all day
And my head's in a vice
E 
and it won't let up
And my feet won't move and
Am 
if that ain't enough
The telephone rings
"Hello?"

Interlude 2

"Hello?"

I've seen children

Verse 8
Am 
with
E 
such angry faces
When you look in their eyes,
Am 
it makes you want to cry
There's a time and a place
E 
for everything
There's a time and a
Am 
place for everything
Now it doesn't seem fair
E 
But who cares they're someone else's
As long as they don't come
Am 
close to mine
There's a time and a place
E 
for everything
Am 
There's a time and a place for everything

Back in all the squalor and the living hell
And they sell you this and
E 
Am 
they sell you that
E 
They sell you their sister
Am 
for a buck and a half
Such terrible things hap
E 
pen round this place
Am 
Such terrible things happen
round this place
Such terrible things happen
E 
Am 
round this place
E 
Am 
And people disappear without a trace

Verse 11
Am 
tery that
E 
intrigues me the most
Is the one that makes men
Am 
give up hope
The pride and the search
E 
D 
for even little things
E 
That might give a meaning,
Am 
or even a hint
'Cause how can a free
E 
D 
man not have hope
E 
When he hasn't even reached
Am 
the end of his rope?
