Town Called Malice Intro bass & keybd riff

F#m Better stop dreaming of the quiet life Em7 Cos its the one well never know F#m And quit running for that runaway bus Em7 Cos those rosey days are few G F#m And - stop apologising for the things youve never done, A Cos time is short and life is cruel A But its up to us to change A This town called malice. F#m Rows and rows of disused milk floats Em7 Stand dying in the dairy yard F#m And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk Em7 Bottles to their hearts G F#m Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry A Its enough to make you stop believing A When tears come fast and furious A In a town called malice. F#m Ba Ba Ba...... Em7 Ba Ba Ba...... F#m Ba Ba Ba...... Em7 Ba Ba Ba...... G F#m Struggle after struggle - year after year A The atmospheres a fine blend of ice A Im almost stone cold dead A In a town called malice.

C#m Bm A whole streets belief in sundays roast beef C#m Bm Gets dashed against the co-op A To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear A Its a big decision in a town called malice. Break - Repeat of intro F#m Em7 The ghost of a steam train - echoes down my track F#m Its at the moment bound for nowhere Em7 Just going round and round G Playground kids and creaking swings F#m Lost laughter in the breeze A I could go on for hours and I probably will A But Id sooner put some joy back A In this town called malice.
