Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7
Verse:
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7 Gsus4
I met him outside a hostel door
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7 Gsus4
He said I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7 Gsus4
I know you think it's shifty for a man in his fifties to be
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7
sleeping in a hostel dorm
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7 Gsus4
But I used to be a welder by trade
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7 Gsus4
Used to work by the water where the ships get made
Am7 Gsus4
But no shipyard will take me now
Fmaj7 Gsus4
My hands are too shaky now
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7
I've spend all my money before I get paid
Gsus4 C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
Fmaj7
While you were in your dark room
C
How the world went and changed
Gsus4 Am7
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
Fmaj7 Gsus4 Am7
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
Interlude: Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7 Gsus4 x3
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Verse:
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7
He leans his head against the hostel wall
Gsus4 Am7 Gsus4
Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me
Fmaj7 Gsus4
And a kid that doesn't call
Am7 Gsus4
And every month I'm caught short
Fmaj7 Gsus4
With my fucking child support
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7
And the court says that I'm reckless and irresponsible
Am7 Gsus4
'Cause it was never part of the plan
Fmaj7
To be a middle aged man
Gsus4 Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7 Gsus4
To be sat outside a hostel, shaking strangers' hands
Am7 Gsus4
But I've drunk away my wealth
Fmaj7 Gsus4
And I'm a picture of bad health
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7
And I'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self
Gsus4 C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
Fmaj7
For years you were walking
C
And how the world went and changed
Gsus4 Am7
I hear it in your voice, I think you know
Fmaj7 Gsus4 Am7
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
Interlude: Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7 Gsus4 x7
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Gsus4 C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
Fmaj7
While you were sleeping
C
How the world went and changed
Gsus4 Am7
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
Fmaj7 Gsus4
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
