Am7 G4 F7M G4
I met him outside a hostel door
Am7 G4 F7M G4
He said I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours
Am7 G4 F7M G4
I know you think it's shifty for a man in his fifties to be
Am7 G4 F7M
sleeping in a hostel dorm
Am7 G4 F7M G4
But I used to be a welder by trade
Am7 G4 F7M G4
Used to work by the water where the ships get made
Am7 G4
But no shipyard will take me now
F7M G4
My hands are too shaky now
Am7 G4 F7M
I've spend all my money before I get paid
G4 C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
F7M
While you were in your dark room
C
How the world went and changed
G4 Am7
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
F7M G4 Am7
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
Am7 G4 F7M
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Am7 G4 F7M
He leans his head against the hostel wall
G4 Am7 G4
Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me
F7M G4
And a kid that doesn't call
Am7 G4
And every month I'm caught short
F7M G4
With my fucking child support
Am7 G4 F7M
And the court says that I'm reckless and irresponsible
Am7 G4
'Cause it was never part of the plan
F7M
To be a middle aged man
G4 Am7 G4 F7M G4
To be sat outside a hostel, shaking strangers' hands
Am7 G4
But I've drunk away my wealth
F7M G4
And I'm a picture of bad health
Am7 G4 F7M
And I'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self
G4 C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
F7M
For years you were walking
C
And how the world went and changed
G4 Am7
I hear it in your voice, I think you know
F7M G4 Am7
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
Am7 G4 F7M
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
G4 C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
F7M
While you were sleeping
C
How the world went and changed
G4 Am7
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
F7M G4
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
