You Amonce had a Chome, a Amjob,  C         Cmaj7a AmfamiCly and AmprideC  Cmaj7  
But we Call have a price we'll Cmaj7pay when things go Amwrong insidCeAm  
CDon't Cmaj7wear dAmiamondsC,    Amand now you Cdon't Cmaj7wear gAmoldC  Am  
And in the Cbruises on your Cmaj7face, there's stories Amto be toldC  Am  
In the Cshadow Cmaj7of colAmd stone,   C     Amfreezing Cto Cmaj7the boAmneC  Am  
But you Ckeep a warm fire Cmaj7burning in your AmsoulC  Am  
'cause you're Cgonna Cmaj7spend a Amblack night,  C     Am    C    Cmaj7console a Amsad man
In a Chungry city with a Cmaj7million hungry hAmearts
AmWHEN YOU STAND IN GSACKVILLE
FIT'S A DIFFERENT Cadd9WORLD FROM THE AmONE
YOU GKNEW WHERE LITTLE FBOYS MEET LITTLE Cadd9GIRLS
As you tread your path through a jaundiced corridor
Where each day has no beginning and no end
There are those out here who claim to be so good
I suspect that Jesus holidayed in hell
Oh, what you'd do for a hot drink or a warm coat
Oh, what you'd give for a means to get you outta here
It rains upon your head, lines on your face become
Rivers into which you cry your secret tears, secret tears
Secret tears, secret tears
(WHEN YOU) WHEN YOU STAND IN SACKVILLE
(STAND IN) IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD FROM THE ONE (SACKVILLE)
YOU KNEW WHERE LITTLE BOYS MEET LITTLE GIRLS (TREMBLING)
The first night we saw you, we were laughing at you
We were hanging on the side of the Cortina
Oh yeah, you seemed so strong, stronger than a man could ever be
Laughing with your sisters in the rain
Dancing on a curbstone, when last you saw her
But when the trick goes wrong, there's no one there to help her
There's not a thing that I can do about it
I guess I'll just go home and write a song about it
Song about it, write about it, write about it
(WHEN YOU) WHEN YOU STAND IN SACKVILLE
(STAND IN) IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD FROM THE ONE (SACKVILLE)
YOU KNEW WHERE LITTLE BOYS MEET LITTLE GIRLS (TREMBLING)
IT'S A COLD AND TREMBLING GIRL (COLD AND)
LEANS INTO A STRANGE CAR (TREMBLING)
NODS UNSPOKEN WORDS TO AN UNSEEN DRIVER SITTING THERE
(GIRL IN SACKVILLE)
