You're alone above the street somewhere

D7 G G G C D

hiding away important to say

 

G G C D C G G C D [twice]

 

[verse 2]

When you sing thru the verse and you end in a scream

and you swear and you curse 'cos the rhyming ain't clean

but it suddenly comes after years of delay

you pick up your guitar you can suddenly play

when your fingers are bleeding the knuckles are white

then you can be sure you can open the door get up off the floor

tonight you have something to write

 

D G/D G/D D

When you want to complain there's no one to stop you

G D/G C/G D

when your music proclaims there's no one can top you

you are wearing your heart on your jumping feet

Ebmsus4/Gb Db/Eb Eb Eb11 Eb

You've got a head start away from the street

could be there's just one thing left in the end

D7/A G G C D C G G C D

your guitar and your pen

 

G G C D C G G C D [x3]

 

[verse 3]

When you sing to your mum and you hum and you croon

and she says that she'd like it 'with more of a tune'

and you smash your guitar at the end of the bed

when you stick it together start writing again

then you know that it won't be too long till you're back

to bring her some money she's calling you honey

stashed in a bloody great sack in your Cadillac

 

[Then back to opening part of song then the 'guitar and your pen' bit is done

5 times before finishing with...]

G D

never spend your guitar or your pen

 

[then piano]

G Eb7 D G Eb7 D G D G D G
