Verse 1
Em 
I went jogging,
G 
Em 
just to clear my head,
C 
spent the entire day watching Zulu
Em 
C 
Em 
and just burning matches by the window.
I ran beyond those doggied flats,
C 
Em 
deserted docks with
C 
cobbled streets
Em 
C 
where trawlers bang a dwindling beat
Em 
C 
for black and white boontown days.
Am 
Em 
Stretched for miles up
this northeast coast,
those chemical plants
just hang like ghosts
over a pale industrial sky,
G 
with all the work force shuffling
through the canteen doors
Em 
and no  one dreams of escape,
G 
C 
Em 
not while the red hats ro tate
the weekend shift
through tabloid talk
that fails to lift the taste of
cheap powdered coffee.
F 
G 
F 
Watch this.

G 
F 
Em 
F 
G 
Following the north wall
F 
Until the north wall stops
Em 
And the waves hit the rocks
F 
like mongrels
G 
Barking at the gas man
F 
Em 
through double glazed windows
F 
And so we hit the beach
G 
Where washed up souls
F 
wash away those dreams
Em 
Spilling out dark thoughts
F 
over skeletal smokes
G 
Away from the bars
F 
and the birds and the blokes
Em 
It's why their heads grow fat
F 
and hearts grow thin
G 
Em 
F 
And new built homes will stretch for miles
Em 
F 
The arse end of the British Isles
G 
Em 
F 
Where no one cares and no  one knows
Em 
F 
The drug red sky is juxtaposed
Am 
G 
F 
With retail parks and service roads
Em 
Take token maggots and dig your holes
F 
Am 
G 
Em 
Am 
F

Em 
I'm still trying to clear my head
Am 
I'm wandering the night spots
in search of old friends
Em 
Then I'm back home
where I just can't replace
Am 
The mascara stains on
G 
Am 
your lovesick face
Em 
But from an open window
I can still hear the beat
Am 
Still certain one day
you'll come back within reach
Em 
And   we'll clear the air
with some two -for -one pub grub
Breathing in the unbeatable sadness
G 
Em 
F 
G 
Am 
of the same
