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
