Introduction:
Db Db7 Gb Eb

Verse 1:
Db                     Db7
Here I am living with old ideas
     Gb
In a country at a loss
       Gbm         Gbm*
With a fetishising boss
       Db                Db7
He's a family man with a family plan
       Gb
Laughing in the dispatch box
      Gbm
As another protest lost


Chorus:
Db
   And I can feel the edge
Db7                    Gb
   I can feel the edge
A                       Db
   But I still gotta try
  Db7
To sleep through
       Gb
In this stale room
    Gbm            Gbm*           Db
But I can feel a vacancy at night
          Db7
And they fail you
          Gb
Then they drain you
    Gbm                            Db
And I can feel a vacancy at night


Verse 2:
    Db
The same old dance
     Db7
That same old man
       Gb
Saying buy your happiness
      Gbm                Gbm*
It's included with the stress
    Db
The swindled kids
       Db7
On our seventh drink
   Gb
Lamenting modern age
     Eb
Just trying to get laid


Chorus:
Db
   And I can feel the edge
Db7                    Gb
   I can feel the edge
A                     Db
   But I still gotta try
  Db7
To sleep through
       Gb
In this stale room
    Gbm            Gbm*           Db
But I can feel a vacancy at night
          Db7
And they fail you
          Gb
Then they drain you
    Gbm           Gbm*
And I can feel a vacancy at night


Bridge:
Bbm            A
   And I know, darling
               Gm              Gb Gb Gb Gb*
I've neglected you for my phone
Bbm            A
   But I can't help it
      Gm                   Gb Gb Gb Gb*
I'm another hopeless drone
Bbm           A
   Nothings changing
     Db                 Eb
Supermarket chains are strong


Chorus:
Gb        Gbm             Db
Oh, but I still gotta try
    Db7
To sleep through
            Gb
Oh, in this stale room
    Gbm          Gbm*             Db
But I can feel a vacancy at night
         Db7
And they help you
         Gb
Then they fuck you
          Gbm                     Db Db7 Gb A Eb
And I can feel a vacancy at night
Gb           Gbm
I can feel a vacancy
   Db
At night
