Tonality
AF#E7D x2
AC#F#
The world lives in your front room
EE7
Youʼre sitting happy in gloom
DA
Fate worries you, you will not give her room
C#F#EE7
You give credit for might, inspiration and sight,
DA
But you miss the point, you wonʼt join in the fight
C#F#
You think to use is to lose
F#
So youʼre clinging, pulling, pleading
DE
Try to keep it safe
DE
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
DE
Youʼre feeling a loss but youʼre not fit to make it
DE
Youʼre offered so much but youʼre frightened to take it.
AF# x2
AC#F#EE7
It never was really proved, never was understood,
DA
But there really is no virtue in the good
C#F#EE7
Theyʼre shouting so loud that theyʼd do better to mine
DA
Youʼre deafened and you cannot hear the rhyme
C#F#
But secrets in whispers pull you, try to tempt you
DE
Try and keep it safe
DE
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
DE
Youʼre feeling a loss but youʼre not fit to make it
DE
Youʼre offered so much but youʼre not going to take it.
AF#E7DAC#F#EE7
You beg for help and advice, how to handle your life,
DA
But you dare not move, you cannot pay the price
C#F#
Chances slip, you just shatter, flatter, forget what matters
D
Spout your lines, read all your books
E
You hear the sounds, miss all the hooks
DE
Your best is what you least understand
D
You hate the graft, wonʼt join the race,
E
Youʼre scared to scar your pretty face
DE
State now cos your headʼs in the sand.
DE x4
AEDE
