|C majorC  |C majorC  |
|A minorAm |A minorAm |
|E minorEm |E minorEm |
|G+G  |  |


C majorC    A minorAm       E minorEm
 on the outskirts of a town
         G+G
 that’s lost all meaning
 D MajorD    C majorC    D MajorD  B minorBm
 comes an old familiar feeling
        E minorEm
 for what it’s worth
   A minorAm    E minorEm  D MajorD     G+G
 it knows my name stalls all shame

E minorEm
 passed on
G+G
 from day to day
E minorEm
 but harmless
G+G
 for now anyway

C majorC          D MajorD
 earthly, earthly, pastime
E minorEm
 heavenly truce
C majorC           D MajorD
 don’t care what the leaders say about
E minorEm
 the state of the nation
C majorC  D MajorD     E minorEm
 or who they accuse
C majorC          D MajorD        G+G
 they can’t break into this frame

|C majorC   |A minorAm   |E minorEm   |G+G   |

C majorC    A minorAm
 a sore fact but none the less
     E minorEm            G+G
 all of us must choose the right moment
 D MajorD    C majorC     D MajorD    B minorBm
 for the backstabs and revelations
        E minorEm
 we wanna introduce
   A minorAm   E minorEm        D MajorD   G+G
 but nothing adds more than it takes away

E minorEm
 today’s still harmless
G+G
 like a piece of paper
E minorEm
 but appearing mightier
G+G
 with your address on it

C majorC        D MajorD
 heavenly, heavenly truce
E minorEm
 earthly, pastime
C majorC           D MajorD
 don’t care what they say about
E minorEm
 the origin of low sin
C majorC   D MajorD   E minorEm
 you did me wrong
C majorC       D MajorD       G+G
 I intend to put it right

| C majorC   | D MajorD   | E minorEm   |    | 3x
