Well grey clou
ds wraped roun
d the town lik
e elastic
Cars stood lik
e toys made of
Taiwanese pla
stic
The boy laughe
d at the spast
ic dancing aro
und in the rai
n
While laundret
tes cleaned cl
othes, high he
als rub toes
Puddles splash
ed huddles of
bus stop crows
Dressed in the
ir suits and t
heir boots wel
l they all loo
k the same
I took myself
down to the ca
fe to find all
the boys lost
in books and
crackling viny
l
And carved out
a poem above
the urinal tha
t read
Don't you cry
for the lost
Smile for the
living
Get what you n
eed and give w
hat you're giv
en
Life's for the
living so liv
e it
Or you're bett
er off dead
Dm, C, G, C, Em7, Am, Dm, C, G, Gadd4, G
While the even
ing pulled the
moon out of i
t's packet
Stars shone li
ke buttons on
an old man's j
acket
We needed a na
il but we tack
ed it 'til it
fell of the wa
ll
While pigeon's
pecked trains
, sparks flew
like planes
The rain showe
d the rainbows
in the oil st
ains
And we all had
new iPhones b
ut no one had
no one to call
And I stumbled
down to the s
tomach of the
town
Where the wido
w takes memori
es to slowly d
rown
With a hand to
the sky and a
mist in her e
ye she said
Don't you cry
for the lost
Smile for the
living
Get what you n
eed and give w
hat you're giv
en
Life's for the
living so liv
e it
Or you're bett
er off dead
Em, F, C, Em7, Am, Em, G, Gadd4, G X2
(single struming here)
Well I'm sick
of this town,
this blind man
's forage
They take your
dreams down a
nd stick them
in storage
You can have t
hem back son w
hen you've pai
d off your mor
tgage and loan
s
Oh hell with t
his place, I'l
l go it my own
way
I'll stick out
my thumb and
I trudge down
the highway
Someday someon
e must be goin
g my way home
Till then I'll
make my bed f
rom a disused
car
With a mattres
s of leaves an
d a blanket of
stars
And I'll stitc
h the words in
to my heart wi
th a needle an
d thread
Don't you cry
for the lost
Smile for the
living
Get what you n
eed and give w
hat you're giv
en
You know life'
s for the livi
ng so live it
Or you're bett
er off dead
F (single struming from here)
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the
living
Get what you n
eed and give w
hat you're giv
en
Life's for the
living so liv
e it
Or you're bett
er off dead
