BG#F#7E x2
BD#G#
The world lives in your front room
F#7F#7
Youʼre sitting happy in gloom
EB
Fate worries you, you will not give her room
D#G#F#7F#7
You give credit for might, inspiration and sight,
EB
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
EF#7
Try to keep it safe
EF#7
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
EF#7
Youʼre feeling a loss but youʼre not fit to make it
EF#7
Youʼre offered so much but youʼre frightened to take it.
BG# x2
BD#G#F#7F#7
It never was really proved, never was understood,
EB
But there really is no virtue in the good
D#G#F#7F#7
Theyʼre shouting so loud that theyʼd do better to mine
EB
Youʼre deafened and you cannot hear the rhyme
D#G#
But secrets in whispers pull you, try to tempt you
EF#7
Try and keep it safe
EF#7
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
EF#7
Youʼre feeling a loss but youʼre not fit to make it
EF#7
Youʼre offered so much but youʼre not going to take it.
BG#F#7EBD#G#F#7F#7
You beg for help and advice, how to handle your life,
EB
But you dare not move, you cannot pay the price
D#G#
Chances slip, you just shatter, flatter, forget what matters
E
Spout your lines, read all your books
F#7
You hear the sounds, miss all the hooks
EF#7
Your best is what you least understand
E
You hate the graft, wonʼt join the race,
F#7
Youʼre scared to scar your pretty face
EF#7
State now cos your headʼs in the sand.
EF#7 x4
