[Verse 1]
     Em                            C
Well great clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
G                              D
Cars stood like toys made from Taiwanese plastic
     Em                        C                    D
the boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
G                               D
While laundrettes clean clothes high heals rub toes
     Em                        C
Puddles splashed huddles of bus top crows
G                               D                                C
Dressed in their suits and their boots where they all looked the same

[Chorus 1]
     Em                        C
I took myself down to the cafe to find all,
    G                      D
the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl,
   Em                 C                    D
and carved out a poem above the urinal that read..

          Em                D
Don't you cry for the lost, smile for the living,
G                     C
get what you need and give what your given,
Em                        C                           D
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.

[Verse 2]
     Em                          C
Well the evening pulled the moon out of its package
    G                             D
The stars shun like buttons on an old mans jacket
   Em                   C                              D
We needed a nail but we tapped it till it fell off the wall
      G                  D
While pigeons Peg drains sparks flew like planes
    Em                             C
the rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
   G                       D                    Em
We all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call

[Chorus 2]
     G                      D
When I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
      Em                           C
where the window takes memories to slowly drown,
       G                     D                  Em
with a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said..

          Em                D
Don't you cry for the lost, smile for the living,
G                     C
get what you need and give what your given,
Em                        C                           D
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.

[Verse 3]
    Em                     C
I'm sick of this town this blind mans forage
   G                             D
we take the dreams down and they stick em in storage
    Em                       C                                      D
and you can have em back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
   G                        D
oh hell with this place ill go it my own way
     Em                     C
I'll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway
G                       D            C
someday someone must be going my way home

[Chorus 3]
           Em                      C
until then I'll make my bed from a Disused car
           G                         D
and with a mattress and leaves and a blanket of stars
      Em                         C                       D
and I stitched the words into my heart with a needle and thread..

          Em                D
Don't you cry for the lost, smile for the living,
G                     C
get what you need and give what your given,
Em                        C                           D
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.

          Em                D
Don't you cry for the lost, smile for the living,
G                     C
get what you need and give what your given,
Em                        C                           D
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.
