Intro
[Em] [Am] [G] [D] [G] [Bm7] [Em] [Am] [G] [D] [Dsus4] [D]

Verse
Well grey [Em]clouds wraped round the [Cmaj7]town like elastic
[D]Cars stood like toys made of [G]Taiwanese [Bm7]plastic
The [Em]boy laughed at the spastic [Cmaj7]dancing around in the [D]rain [Dsus4] [D]
While [Em]laundrettes cleaned clothes, high [Cmaj7]heals rub toes
[D]Puddles splashed huddles of [G]bus stop [Bm7]crows
[Em]Dressed in their suits and their [Cmaj7]boots well they all look the [D]same [Dsus4] [D]

Bridge
I [C]took myself down to the [D]cafe to find
all the [G]boys lost in [Bm7]books and [Em]crackling [D]vinyl
And [C]carved out a poem [D]above the urinal that [G]read [G7]

Chorus
Don't you [C]cry for the lost
[D]Smile for the living
[G]Get what you [Bm7]need and [Em]give what you're [D]given
[C]Life's for the living so [D]live it
Or you're better off [Em]dead

Verse
While the [Em]evening pulled the moon [Cmaj7]out of it's packet
[D]Stars shone like buttons on an [G]old man's [Bm7]jacket
We n [Em]eeded a nail but we t [Cmaj7]acked it 'til it fell of the w [D]all [Dsus4] [D]
While [Em]pigeon's pecked trains, sparks [Cmaj7]flew like planes
The r [D]ain showed the rainbows in th [G]e oil st [Bm7]ains
And we [Em]all had new iPhones but [Cmaj7]no one had no one to [D]call [Dsus4] [D]

Bridge
And [C]I stumbled down to the [D]stomach of the town
Where the [G]widow takes [Bm7]memories [Em]to slowly [D]drown
With a [C]hand to the sky and a [D]mist in her eye she [G]said [G7]

Chorus
Don't you [C]cry for the lost
[D]Smile for the living
[G]Get what you [Bm7]need and [Em]give what you're [D]given
[C]Life's for the living so [D]live it
Or you're better off [Em]dead

Verse
Well I'm [Em]sick of this town, this [Cmaj7]blind man's forage
They t [D]ake your dreams down and st [G]ick them in st [Bm7]orage
You can h [Em]ave them back son when you've p [Cmaj7]
aid off your mortgage and l [D]oans [Dadd4] [D]
Oh [Em]hell with this place, I'll go [Cmaj7]it my own way
I'll [D]stick out my thumb and I [G]trudge down the [Bm7]highway
[Em]Someday someone must be [Cmaj7]going my way [D]home [Dadd4] [D]

Bridge
Till then [C]I'll make my bed from a [D]disused car
With a [G]mattress of l [Bm7]eaves and a [Em]blanket of [D]stars
And I'll [C]stitch the words into my [D]heart with a needle and [G]thread [G7]

Chorus
Don't you [C]cry for the lost
[D]Smile for the living
[G]Get what you [Bm7]need and [Em]give what you're [D]given
You know [C]life's for the living so [D]live it
Or you're better off [G]dead [G7]

Outro
