D G D
Well my shoes are crumbling from my feet
A G D
Still I can choose to embrace victory or defeat
D G Bm
It's just I'm scared I must have done somebody wrong
A G
Still I'm prepared to pay the price

In another life as another someone

Cause I'm here and then I'm gone

But I wont to be gone for long

It's just I live a little beyond where the last buses run

I kinda dress down like tramp
A G
No, it's no excuse not to bathe

And I live a little beyond where the last buses run

I'm a man though they treat me like a dog

I can't understand what it is they are so afraid of

For I'd love to be with you
A Bm
But it just cannot be done
G D
For I live a little beyond where the last buses run

verse 4
D G D
Well the sun is water in my eye
A G D
And my blues are as blue as the cloudless summer sky
D G Bm
And if I knew what tomorrow might bring
A G D
I might throw a noose over a beam & there I'd swing
D G Bm
But it ain't mee and even cliches disappear
A G D
I can bare my teeth even while I'm living on the verge of tears
D G Bm
For today there's too much sunshine in the sky
A G
And these tears of grief could be tears of joy
D
Welling in my eye for the
G D A Bm
The end is coming soon but it's only just begun
G D
Where I live a little beyond where the last buses run
G D
Well I'm crank and I'm a crack pot
A Bm
But I ain't a bad son of a gun
G D
It's just I live a little beyond where the last buses run
