A F# E7 D (x2)
A C# F#
The world lives in your front room
E E7
You're sitting happy in gloom
D A
Fate worries you, you will not give her room
C# F# E E7
You give credit for might, inspiration and sight,
D A
But you miss the point, you won't join in the fight
C# F#
You think to use is to lose
F#
So you're clinging, pulling, pleading
D E
Try to keep it safe
D E
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
D E
You're feeling a loss but you're not fit to make it
D E
You're offered so much but you're frightened to take it.
A F# (x2)
A C# F# E E7
It never was really proved, never was understood,
D A
But there really is no virtue in the good
C# F# E E7
They're shouting so loud that they'd do better to mine
D A
You're deafened and you cannot hear the rhyme
C# F#
But secrets in whispers pull you, try to tempt you
D E
Try and keep it safe
D E
Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place
D E
You're feeling a loss but you're not fit to make it
D E
You're offered so much but you're not going to take it.
A F# E7 D
A C# F# E E7
You beg for help and advice, how to handle your life,
D A
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
D E
Your best is what you least understand
D
You hate the graft, won't join the race,
E
You're scared to scar your pretty face
D E
State now cos your head's in the sand.
D E (x6)
A E D E (rpt. til fade)
