DEADWOOD - Dirty Pretty Things

[Intro]

Dm F Gm A

[Verse]

You got the world boy, this all you make it?

You had the choice lad, you wouldnt take it.

The oldest charm,

A A Asus A

Only the best for you.

And the years of my life, some they were so good,

But now and again I feel, I was a coward.

Are the holes in my soul,

In tatters for all these tears.

Well you dont see it that way.

[Chorus]

A way, A way, we’ll have it today.

The dancing ones they really mean it,

But something boy,

Somethings gonna change.

A way, a way, you've got it they say.

How do they know when they've never seen it?

And what will you do,

When they forget your name?

Well you’ll up and get another one

[Verse]

Don’t give me that face,

I know when I should live in disgrace, not dig up the deadwood.

Gm A A Asus A

I knew this place was never the place for me.

And of the years that rolled by, yeah some were so good.

But now I know that, you were the coward,

The holes in your soul,

In tatters for all these years.

But you cant see it that way.

[Chorus]

A way, a way, well have it today.

The dancing ones they really mean it,

And mark my words,

Something’s gonna change.

A way, a way, you've got it they say.

But how do they know when they've never seen it?

And what will you do,

When they forget your name?

Well you’ll up and get another one.

[Instrumental]

F C F C

A A7

[Chorus]

A way, A way, we’ll have it today.

The dancing ones they really mean it,

But something boy,

Somethings gonna change.

A way, a way, you've got it today.

But how do they know when they've never seen it?

And what will you do,

When they forget your name?

Well you’ll up and get another one.
