VERSE 1
Dmaj7
Bald men were
D6
beating on
F#m7/E
oil
drums
In the
D
indoor
D6
marshalling
Am7
yards
The
Gm
ceiling so high, like a
C7
brown indoor sky
And
Bbmaj7
cellos and bow doors were
Abmaj7
carved
The
Dmaj7
audience
D6
looked just like
F#m7/E
shoppers
Which
D
most so
D6
far had not be
E9/G#
come
Our
Gmaj7
faces stayed blank and
G6
we
F#m
hoovered up crank
While
Gmaj7
upstairs the roads teemed with
CHORUS 1

Scabs and spooks and

Cayman
Cromwells

Brittle blue
D6
slivers of
F#m7/E
morning
D
Poked into
D6
Frank’s piggy
Am7
eyes
Gm
Beaming through sweat, he
C7
shivered on set
As a
Bbmaj7
researcher spooned him co
Abmaj7
caine
He
Dmaj7
spoke of the
D6
need for more
F#m7/E
layoffs
As his
D
golf pals sug
D6
gested he
E9/G#
do
Tech
Gmaj7
nology stuff
G6
would
F#m
mop those lives up
Computer graphics and
Bm/F#
digital
F#m
bluff
Gmaj7
Now he’s an old man with
F#m
shakes and one kidney
CHORUS 2
And his
C
proposition is
Am
our
condition
He’s
C
melting, he’s melting,
D7
say it, say it
G
Say goodbye to
F6
sadness
G
Now each heartbeat
F6
matters
C
Say goodbye to
B7/D#
beauty, ruin,
Dm/F
rainbows,
springtime
C
Credit, blackmail,
Am
drugs and sorrow
C
Open kisses,
Am
despair,
wonder
C
Ivy-covered
Am
frozen graveyards and the

Slowly

waning
C
Sun
