GED7C x2
GBE
The world lives in your front room
D7D7
Youʼre sitting happy in gloom
CG
Fate worries you, you will not give her room
BED7D7
You give credit for might, inspiration and sight,
CG
But you miss the point, you wonʼt join in the fight
BE
You think to use is to lose
E
So youʼre clinging, pulling, pleading
CD7
Try to keep it safe
CD7
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
CD7
Youʼre feeling a loss but youʼre not fit to make it
CD7
Youʼre offered so much but youʼre frightened to take it.
GE x2
GBED7D7
It never was really proved, never was understood,
CG
But there really is no virtue in the good
BED7D7
Theyʼre shouting so loud that theyʼd do better to mine
CG
Youʼre deafened and you cannot hear the rhyme
BE
But secrets in whispers pull you, try to tempt you
CD7
Try and keep it safe
CD7
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
CD7
Youʼre feeling a loss but youʼre not fit to make it
CD7
Youʼre offered so much but youʼre not going to take it.
GED7CGBED7D7
You beg for help and advice, how to handle your life,
CG
But you dare not move, you cannot pay the price
BE
Chances slip, you just shatter, flatter, forget what matters
C
Spout your lines, read all your books
D7
You hear the sounds, miss all the hooks
CD7
Your best is what you least understand
C
You hate the graft, wonʼt join the race,
D7
Youʼre scared to scar your pretty face
CD7
State now cos your headʼs in the sand.
