Lifes For The Living by Passenger
Lifes For The Living
Capo on 6th
Em7 020030
Gadd4 320013
Fmaj7 103210 (play 6th chord with thumb, or just play F)
Am, Dm, C, G, C, Em7, Am, Dm, C, G, Gadd4, G
Am Fmaj7
Well grey clouds wraped round the town like elastic
G C Em7
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
Am Fmaj7 G Gadd4 G
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
Am Fmaj7
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rub toes
G C Em7
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Am Fmaj7 G Gadd4 G
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
F G C Em7 Am G
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
F G C C7
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
F
Don't you cry for the lost
G
Smile for the living
C Em7 Am G
Get what you need and give what you're given
F G
Life's for the living so live it
Am
Or you're better off dead
Dm, C, G, C, Em7, Am, Dm, C, G, Gadd4, G
Am Fmaj7
While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
G C Em7
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
Am Fmaj7 G Gadd4 G
We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
Am Fmaj7
While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
G C Em7
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
Am Fmaj7 G Gadd4 G
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
F G
And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
C Em7 Am G
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
F G C C7
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
F
Don't you cry for the lost
G
Smile for the living
C Em7 Am G
Get what you need and give what you're given
F G
Life's for the living so live it
Am
Or you're better off dead
Em, F, C, Em7, Am, Em, G, Gadd4, G
Am Fmaj7
Well I'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
G C Em7
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
Am Fmaj7 G Gadd4 G
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
Am Fmaj7
Oh hell with this place, I'll go it my own way
G C Em7
I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
Am Fmaj7 G Gadd4 G
Someday someone must be going my way home
F G
Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
C Em7 Am G
With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
F G C C7
And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
F
Don't you cry for the lost
G
Smile for the living
C Em7 Am G
Get what you need and give what you're given
F G
You know life's for the living so live it
C C7
Or you're better off dead
F (single struming from here)
Don't you cry for the lost
G
Smile for the living
C Em7 Am G
Get what you need and give what you're given
F G
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead

CAPO 6
Cmaj7/E: 020010
Am F
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
G C Cmaj7/E
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
Am F G
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing round in the rain
Am F
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heals rubbed toes
G C Cmaj7/E
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Am F G
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
F G C
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books
Am
And crackling vinyl
F G C Am
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
F
Don't you cry for the lost
G
Smile for the living
C Am
Get what you need and give what you'r given
F G
Life's for the living so live it
C
Or you're better of dead
(2nd verse is like the first: Am - F - G - C -- Am - F - G )
While the evening pulled the moon out of its packet
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
We needed a nail but wetacked it 'til it fell off the wall
While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
And we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
(F - G - C - Am )
And i stumbled down to the stomach of the town
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you'r given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better of dead
(Am - F - G - C -- Am - F - G )
Well i'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
Oh hell with this place, i'll go it my own way
I'll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway
Someday someone must be going my way home
( F - G - C - Am )
Till then i'll make my bed from a disused car
With a matress of leaves and a blanket of stars
And i'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you'r given
You know life's for the living so live it
Or you're better of dead
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you'r given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better of dead
