SChore to shore Fgot some land beCtween
IsCland life is living tFhrough a cup of broken quCeens
hit the jackpot Dmrolling through a pipe dream in a knFot
and I'm Ammissing what was pissing Fup the wall that I foCrgot
I forGgot
I forgFot
 Am-  G-  C-  F-  Am-  G- C  
CI am the maskFed rider, give me Csome grace
CYou've never Fseen me and you dCon't know my face
She was no HattDmie Carroll, it was cold, it was blueF  
AAmnd it only hapFpened despite me or Cyou
GMe or you, Fme or you
CSmoking paper Fto the crimson fClashing bars
CDrinking cockFtail wine or cottCage cream and passing strangers' cars
Live in one rooDmm housing with a roof to meet the Fsky
SpAmelling Jesus won't you please uFs 'cos you seem a damCn nice guy
GDamn nice guy, Fdamn nice guy
CWe listened tFo passengers stamCping old songs
CAnd we lose wFhat's to lose wheCn you haven't done wrong
DDmrums too slow for a funeral bFeat
No Amstrumming of strings and no stFamping of feetC  
GOf feet, of feFet
CIt's awfully Fconsiderate of yoCu to think of me
CAnd it's not Fso hard to see yoCu smoking fags and drinking tea
IDmt's the crummy lost at seasick with a floatFing on the waves
To Amjoin the other flotsam with thFe ripped up queens anCd knaves
GQueens and knaves, queeFns and knaves
CThere lies a Flady, she's gone Cand she's gone
CShe'll be a fFine lady before tCoo long
BDmut I hit her head and she finFished her walking
ShAme shouldn't be dead, sFhe was too busy talkiCng
GBusy talking, Fbusy talking
CThey can fill Fa cup or two and Cstill disturb the peace
CIt's never maFde it all the way Cfrom shore to shore, from west to east
I Dmread that independence was a Flightness in your step
YoAmu walked away, I felt so heavy Fat the start of every Cday
GEvery day, eveFry day
CI've been waiFting an hour and Cthe bus hasn't come
CI've been curFsing my God for tChe lack of the sun
IDm've been ruined by destiny, lFowered by fate
AnAmd the upshot of this Fis I'm going to be laCte
GTo be late, to Fbe late

To be late, to be late
