Lifes For The Living
Passenger
Key : G
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
G  | Am | G | D | G | D 
Em | Am | G 
D

[Verse 1]
---------------------
     Em                            C
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
D                            G             Bm7
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
    Em                         C
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
D      Em                                C
 While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heels rub toes
D                           G             Bm7
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Em
Dressed in their suits and their boots
C
 Well they all look the same

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D  Cmaj7                     D
 I took myself down to the cafe to find all
    G            Bm7       Em          D
The boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
    Cmaj7             D
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
G G7             Cmaj7
    Don't you cry     for the lost
D
Smile for the living
G                D         Em               D
Get what you need and give what you're given
Cmaj7                         D
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead

[Pre-Verse]
---------------------
G  | Am | G | D | G | D 
Em | Am | G | D 

[Verse 2]
---------------------
          Em                         C
While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
D                              G         Bm7
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
   Em                   C
We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
D      Em                      C
 While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
    D                               G         Bm7
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
       Em                       C                    D
And we all had new iPhone's but no one had no one to call

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
    Cmaj7                     D
And I    stumbled down to the stomach of the town
          G           Bm7         Em          D
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
           Cmaj7                 D
With a hand     to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
G G7             Cmaj7
    Don't you cry     for the lost
D
Smile for the living
G                D         Em               D
Get what you need and give what you're given
Cmaj7                         D
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead

[Interlude]

Em | Bm | C | G  | D

Bm | C  | G | D  | Em 
Bm | C  

[Verse 3]
---------------------
         Em                      C
Well I'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
     D                          G               Bm7
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
        Em                             C
You can have them back son when you've paid off
                  D
Your mortgage and loans
   Em                         C
Oh hell with this place, I'll go it my own way
     D                        G                  Bm7
I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
Em                      C            D
Someday someone must be going my way home

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
          Cmaj7                     D
Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
       G           Bm7              Em          D
With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
         Cmaj7                         D
And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
G G7             Cmaj7
    Don't you cry     for the lost
D
Smile for the living
G                D         Em            D
Get what you need and give what you're given
         Cmaj7                         D
You know Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
G G7             C
    Don't you cry for the lost
D
Smile for the living
G            D        Em                 D
Get what you need and give what you're given
C
Life's for the living so live it
D
 Or you're better off dead
