Verse
Well grey [D#]clouds wraped round the [Cmaj7]town like elastic
[Cb]Cars stood like toys made of [Db]Taiwanese [Bm7]plastic
The [D#]boy laughed at the spastic [Cmaj7]dancing around in the [Cb]rain [Dsus4] [Cb]
While [D#]laundrettes cleaned clothes, high [Cmaj7]heals rub toes
[Cb]Puddles splashed huddles of [Db]bus stop [Bm7]crows
[D#]Dressed in their suits and their [Cmaj7]boots well they all look the [Cb]same [Dsus4] [Cb]

Bridge
I [A#]took myself down to the [Cb]cafe to find
all the [Db]boys lost in [Bm7]books and [D#]crackling [Cb]vinyl
And [A#]carved out a poem [Cb]above the urinal that [Db]read [G7]

Chorus
Don't you [A#]cry for the lost
[Cb]Smile for the living
[Db]Get what you [Bm7]need and [D#]give what you're [Cb]given
[A#]Life's for the living so [Cb]live it
Or you're better off [D#]dead

Verse
While the [D#]evening pulled the moon [Cmaj7]out of it's packet
[Cb]Stars shone like buttons on an [Db]old man's [Bm7]jacket
We n [D#]eeded a nail but we t [Cmaj7]acked it 'til it fell of the w [Cb]all [Dsus4] [Cb]
While [D#]pigeon's pecked trains, sparks [Cmaj7]flew like planes
The r [Cb]ain showed the rainbows in th [Db]e oil st [Bm7]ains
And we [D#]all had new iPhones but [Cmaj7]no one had no one to [Cb]call [Dsus4] [Cb]

Bridge
And [A#]I stumbled down to the [Cb]stomach of the town
Where the [Db]widow takes [Bm7]memories [D#]to slowly [Cb]drown
With a [A#]hand to the sky and a [Cb]mist in her eye she [Db]said [G7]

Chorus
Don't you [A#]cry for the lost
[Cb]Smile for the living
[Db]Get what you [Bm7]need and [D#]give what you're [Cb]given
[A#]Life's for the living so [Cb]live it
Or you're better off [D#]dead

Verse
Well I'm [D#]sick of this town, this [Cmaj7]blind man's forage
They t [Cb]ake your dreams down and st [Db]ick them in st [Bm7]orage
You can h [D#]ave them back son when you've p [Cmaj7]
aid off your mortgage and l [Cb]oans [Dadd4] [Cb]
Oh [D#]hell with this place, I'll go [Cmaj7]it my own way
I'll [Cb]stick out my thumb and I [Db]trudge down the [Bm7]highway
[D#]Someday someone must be [Cmaj7]going my way [Cb]home [Dadd4] [Cb]

Bridge
Till then [A#]I'll make my bed from a [Cb]disused car
With a [Db]mattress of l [Bm7]eaves and a [D#]blanket of [Cb]stars
And I'll [A#]stitch the words into my [Cb]heart with a needle and [Db]thread [G7]

Chorus
Don't you [A#]cry for the lost
[Cb]Smile for the living
[Db]Get what you [Bm7]need and [D#]give what you're [Cb]given
You know [A#]life's for the living so [Cb]live it
Or you're better off [Db]dead [G7]

Outro
Don't you [A#]cry for the lost
[Cb]Smile for the living
[Db]Get what you [Bm7]need and g [D#]ive what you're g [Cb]iven
[A#]Life's for the living so [Cb]live it

Or you're better off dead⠀⠀
