Town Called Malice - The Jam | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
D

[Verse 1]
---------------------
       F#m                                              Em
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life, 'cause it's the one we'll never know
    F#m                                            Em
And quit running for that runaway bus 'cause those rosy days are few
    G                        F#m
And stop apologizing for the things you've never done
       A
'Cause time is short and life is cruel but it's up to us to change
                 D
This town called malice

[Verse 2]
---------------------
F#m                                        Em
Rows and rows of disused milk floats stand dying in the dairy yard
      F#m                                    Em
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
G                                 F#m
Hanging out their old love letters   on the line to dry
      A
It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious

[Interlude (1)]
---------------------
                 D
In a town called malice, yeeah!

[Verse 3]
---------------------
F#m
Bababababababa
Em
Bababababa woah!
F#m
Bababababababa
Em
Bababababa
G                        F#m
 Struggle after struggle,   year after year
    A
The atmosphere's fine blend of ice, I'm almost stone cold dead

[Interlude (2)]
---------------------
                 D
In a town called malice, uuyeah!

[Bridge]
---------------------
C#m                      Bm
Whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef
     C#m                Bm
Gets dashed against the Coop
          A
To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear
                                            D         D
It's a big decision in a town called malice, ooh yeah!

[Verse 5]
---------------------
F#m                        Em
   Ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track
F#m
   It's at the moment bound for nowhere
Em
Just going round and round, oh
G
Playground kids and creaking swings
F#m
   Lost laughter in the breeze
        A
I could go on for hours and I probably will
But I'd sooner put some joy back

[Outro]
---------------------
                    D
In this town called malice, yeeeah, woah
This town called malice, yeeeah
This town called malice, ooh yeah
