Tom: E
E B
There's no smoking here, my friend, it's 2010
A Amaj7
Where everything is always exactly like Tom says
E B
I see the haze for miles through my (???) eyes
A Amaj7
My stomach turns to water and my lips turn to goodbyes
E B
And as I melt into the side of the road, (Cath?)
A Amaj7
I whisper all the words that I'm far too scared to ever scream out, like:
E B
Please, please, validate me! I'm out on a limb here.
A Amaj7 E
All I wanna do is make my friends and family proud.
[Chorus 1]
E B
One day I'll live somewhere that the trains run on time.
F#m A E
And I'll be wrapped up in South London when you kiss Florida goodbye.
Emaj7
And it feels like hell.
F#m A E
The sleeping pills you gave me, darling, they work very, very well.
[Verse 2]
E B
They put a tax on everything I need to live.
A Amaj7
My train fines are piling up and it costs too much for cigarettes,
E B
And so I work for cash, building houses with my friend's dad.
A Amaj7
The pay's pretty good and I get to use my hands.
E B
And I got a little saved. As much as I can put away.
A Amaj7
Enough for food (hidden in?) a sleeping bag for when we slip New South Wales.
E B
And we'll hussle (???), you can get a drop to drink
A Amaj7 E
Because you know we can't go to sleep without it.
[Chorus 2]
E B
One day I'll live somewhere that the trains run on time.
F#m A E
And I'll be shacked up in South London when you kiss Florida goodbye.
Emaj7
And it feels like hell.
F#m A
The sleeping pills you gave me, darling, they work very, very-
F#m A
Sleeping pills you gave me, darling, they work very, very-
F#m A E
Sleeping pills you gave me, darling, they work very, very well.
