Town Called Malice

Em
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life 
Dm7
Cos it&#8217;s the one we&#8217;ll never know
Em
And quit running for that runaway bus 
Dm7
Cos those rosey days are few
     F        Em       
And stop apologising for the things you&#8217;ve never done
G
Cos time is short and life is cruel 
G
But it&#8217;s up to us to change
G
This town called malice.

Em
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
Dm7
Stand dying in the dairy yard
Em
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
Dm7
Bottles to their hearts
F                     Em  
Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry
G
Its enough to make you stop believing 
G
When tears come fast and furious
G
In a town called malice.   Yeah

Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba     Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba          Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba     Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba

F              Em
Struggle after struggle - year after year
G
The atmospheres a fine blend of ice 
G
I&#8217;m almost stone cold dead
G
In a town called malice.

Oooo  Yeah

Bm              Am
A whole streets belief in Sundays roast beef
Bm          Am
Gets dashed against the co-op
G
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
G
Its a big decision in a town called malice.        Oooo  Yeah

Em                   Dm7
The ghost of a steam train echoes down my track
Em
It&#8217;s at the moment bound for nowhere 
Dm7
Just going round and round
F
Playground kids and creaking swings 
Em
Lost laughter in the breeze
G
I could go on for hours and I probably will 
G
But I&#8217;d sooner put some joy back
G
In this town called malice.      Yeah
G
Town called malice.        Yeah
