A F# E7 D C# E


A# G F7 D# x2

A#                D            G
 The world lives in your front room
                        F            F7
Youʼre sitting happy in gloom
     D#                                  A#
Fate worries you, you will not give her room
         D         G                     F           F7
You give credit for might, inspiration and sight,
        D#                                     A#
But you miss the point, you wonʼt join in the fight
             D        G
You think to use is to lose
          G
So youʼre clinging, pulling, pleading

D#              F
Try to keep it safe
        D#                           F
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
                 D#                          F
Youʼre feeling a loss but youʼre not fit to make it
                  D#                             F
Youʼre offered so much but youʼre frightened to take it.

A# G x2

A#         D         G                      F         F7
 It never was really proved, never was understood,
          D#                          A#
But there really is no virtue in the good
        D          G                            F         F7
Theyʼre shouting so loud that theyʼd do better to mine
       D#                                A#
Youʼre deafened and you cannot hear the rhyme
    D         G
But secrets in whispers pull you, try to tempt you

D#               F
Try and keep it safe
        D#                           F
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
                 D#                          F
Youʼre feeling a loss but youʼre not fit to make it
                  D#                            F
Youʼre offered so much but youʼre not going to take it.

A# G F7 D#

A#            D         G                       F        F7
 You beg for help and advice, how to handle your life,
        D#                                 A#
But you dare not move, you cannot pay the price
        D             G
Chances slip, you just shatter, flatter, forget what matters

D#
Spout your lines, read all your books
    F
You hear the sounds, miss all the hooks
     D#                            F
Your best is what you least understand
    D#
You hate the graft, wonʼt join the race,
       F
Youʼre scared to scar your pretty face
D#                                F
State now cos your headʼs in the sand.

D# F x4
A# F D# F
