C Am Em

on the outskirts of a town

that’s lost all meaning

D C D Bm

comes an old familiar feeling

for what it’s worth

Am Em D G

it knows my name stalls all shame

passed on

from day to day

but harmless

for now anyway

C D

earthly, earthly, pastime

heavenly truce

C D

don’t care what the leaders say about

the state of the nation

C D Em

or who they accuse

C D G

they can’t break into this frame

C Am Em G

C Am

a sore fact but none the less

Em G

all of us must choose the right moment

D C D Bm

for the backstabs and revelations

we wanna introduce

Am Em D G

but nothing adds more than it takes away

today’s still harmless

like a piece of paper

but appearing mightier

with your address on it

C D

heavenly, heavenly truce

earthly, pastime

C D

don’t care what they say about

the origin of low sin

C D Em

you did me wrong

C D G

I intend to put it right

C D Em
