Chords with lyrics

Intro:

D MajorD A augmentedA
C majorC G+G E minorEm A augmentedA


Verse:

D MajorD               A augmentedA
I left school at just 14 I'm told I'm paying the price
C majorC            G+G
It's kept me small and kept me mean
E minorEm            A augmentedA
Having to be nice when I don't feel nice
D MajorD           A augmentedA
Stood on many corners, up against many a wall
C majorC            G+G        E minorEm   A augmentedA
Said I'm gonna work much harder but then easy calls
   D MajorD             A augmentedA
And easy calls me often, and always by my name
    C majorC           G+G
Being called by a name means something to a man
      E minorEm        A augmentedA
who's been left out of the game

Chorus:

C majorC             G+G
I've got nothing to offer you
D MajorD          C majorC
but the rest of my life
C majorC             G+G
Nothing I can really offer you
D MajorD          C majorC
but the rest of my life
    E minorEm  G+G  A augmentedA
And a sad love song


verse:

D MajorD               A augmentedA
I'm the son of a decent man, a decent mother too
      C majorC            G+G
They were taught suffering and working too hard
   E minorEm       A augmentedA
It's just what good people do
D MajorD                A augmentedA
You build two walls of silence, another two of pain
    C majorC         G+G               E minorEm           A augmentedA
If you have your own door to close behind you, you can keep yourself halfway sane.
     D MajorD                A augmentedA
But the only thing that's golden are the crumbs upon the ground
    C majorC         G+G        E minorEm      A augmentedA
They fill your mouth like jewels from an everlasting crown

Chorus:

C majorC             G+G
I've got nothing to offer you
D MajorD          C majorC
but the rest of my life
C majorC             D MajorD
Nothing I can really offer you
D MajorD          C majorC
but the rest of my life
    E minorEm  G+G  A augmentedA
And a sad love song


verse:

D MajorD               A augmentedA
I drive a big blue car, from 1983,
     C majorC            G+G
It's the only thing I've ever been good to and
      E minorEm           A augmentedA
the only thing that's been good to me
D MajorD                  A augmentedA
Money comes money goes, it doesn't stay around me too long
  C majorC          G+G       E minorEm           A augmentedA
I don't know much about very much, and less about right and wrong
   D MajorD                  A augmentedA
If I do go on if I don't go on, well the reasons will be much the same
    C majorC        G+G             E minorEm        A augmentedA
I've lived without the ground beneath me man, I've lived without a name


Chorus:

C majorC             G+G
I've got nothing to offer you
D MajorD          C majorC
but the rest of my life
C majorC             D MajorD
Nothing I can really offer you
D MajorD          C majorC
but the rest of my life
    E minorEm  G+G  A augmentedA
And a sad love song


outro:

D MajorD       A augmentedA                C majorC
Stay, stay away from the man, who says that love,
E minorEm       G+G   A augmentedA
