[Intro]
Am7   Gsus4   Fmaj7   Gsus4x3
Am7 Gsus4 Fmaj7
[Verse 1]
I Am7met him outside a Gsus4hostel dooFmaj7rGsus4  
He said Am7I’ll tell you Gsus4mine if you Fmaj7tell me yoursGsus4  
I kAm7now you think it’s sGsus4hifty for a Fmaj7man in his fGsus4ifties to be
slAm7eeping in a Gsus4hostel dorFmaj7m
But I uAm7sed to be a wGsus4elder by tFmaj7radeGsus4  
Used to wAm7ork by the Gsus4water where the Fmaj7ships get mGsus4ade
But no sAm7hipyard will Gsus4take me now
My Fmaj7hands are too Gsus4shaky now
I’ve sAm7pend all my Gsus4money before I get Fmaj7paid
[Chorus 1]
And I said Gsus4David, don’t you think it’s stCrange
While Fmaj7you were in your dark room
How the wCorld went and changed
LGsus4ooking in your eyes, I think you kAm7now
That DFmaj7avid, we lost you, Gsus4lost you a long time Am7ago
[Interlude]
Am7   Gsus4   Fmaj7   Gsus4x3
Am7Ooh, oGsus4oh, oh, Fmaj7oh,…
[Verse 2]
He leans his hAm7ead against the Gsus4hostel Fmaj7wall
Gsus4Said I have an Am7ex-wife that doesn’t Gsus4hear me
And a Fmaj7kid that doesn’t Gsus4call
And every mAm7onth I’m caught Gsus4short
With my fFmaj7ucking child sGsus4upport
And the cAm7ourt says that I’m rGsus4eckless and irreFmaj7sponsible
‘Cause it was nAm7ever part of the Gsus4plan
To be a Fmaj7middle aged man
Gsus4To be Am7sat outside a Gsus4hostel, shaking stFmaj7rangers’ Gsus4hands
But I’ve dAm7runk away my wGsus4ealth
And I’m a pFmaj7icture of bad Gsus4health
And I’m a sAm7hadow of a sGsus4hadow of a fFmaj7ormer self
[Chorus 2]
And I said Gsus4David, don’t you think it’s stCrange
For Fmaj7years you were walking
And how the wCorld went and changed
I Gsus4hear it in your voice, I think you kAm7now
That DFmaj7avid, we lost you, Gsus4lost you a long time Am7ago
[Interlude]
Am7   Gsus4   Fmaj7   Gsus4x7
Am7Ooh, oGsus4oh, oh, Fmaj7oh,…
[Chorus 3]
(play every chord only once)
And I said Gsus4David, don’t you think it’s stCrange
Fmaj7While you were sleeping
How the wCorld went and changed
LGsus4ooking in your eyes, I think you kAm7now
That DFmaj7avid, we lost you, Gsus4lost you a long time agoAm7
