A Design For Life chords by Manic Street Preachers

Intro: C

C
Libraries gave us power
Dm
Then work came and made us free
G
What price now
D#            Dm            C
For a shallow piece of dignity

C
I wish I had a bottle
Dm
Right here in my dirty face
G

To wear the scars
D#           Dm        C  F#  E  Dm
To show from where I came

Dm                  G  F#  E  Dm
We don't talk about love
Dm              G        F#  F  E
We only want to get drunk
E               Am
And we are not allowed to spend
    F
As we are told that this is the end

Am       F
A design for life
Am       F
A design for life
Am       F
A design for life
F
A design for life
