Passenger - life s for the living
This is my first tab so bare with me!
I like to play with the Capo on 6 but it s down to choice I suppose.

[Verse 1]
Well great clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
Cars stood like toys made from Taiwanese plastic
the boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
While laundrettes clean clothes high heals rub toes
Puddles splashed huddles of bus top crows
Dressed in their suits and their boots where they all looked the same
[Chorus 1]
I took myself down to the cafe to find all,
the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl,
and carved out a poem above the urinal that read..
Don t you cry for the lost, smile for the living,
get what you need and give what your given,
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.
[Verse 2]
Well the evening pulled the moon out of its package
The stars shun like buttons on an old mans jacket
We needed a nail but we tapped it till it fell off the wall
While pigeons Peg drains sparks flew like planes
the rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
We all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
[Chorus 2]
When I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
where the window takes memories to slowly drown,
with a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said..
Don t you cry for the lost, smile for the living,
get what you need and give what your given,
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.
[Verse 3]
I m sick of this town this blind mans forage
we take the dreams down and they stick em in storage
and you can have em back son when you ve paid off your mortgage and loans
oh hell with this place ill go it my own way
I ll stick out my thumb and trudge down the highway
someday someone must be going my way home
[Chorus 3]
until then I ll make my bed from a Disused car
and with a mattress and leaves and a blanket of stars
and I stitched the words into my heart with a needle and thread..
Don t you cry for the lost, smile for the living,
get what you need and give what your given,
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.
Don t you cry for the lost, smile for the living,
get what you need and give what your given,
life is for the living so live it, or your better off dead.
