G Em Bm C
Thinking of poems of poverty
G Em Bm Am
Sitting with a tight clenched wrist, thinking how to gain authority
G Em Bm C
Oh what a soft touch of a boy
G Em Bm Am
He'd wander with pride to sell and keep visions to his self
D
Visions to his self
G Em C D
We'd talk of treasures, and over-rated games
G Em Bm Am
We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.
G B Em
What we loved most of all was sitting around the shop
C
Whilst this young boy was sitting all alone
D
Sitting all alone,
G Em C
G Em Bm C
Pondering times of sanctuary
G Em Bm Am
He was sitting taking his piano lessons, we were on half an E
G Em Bm C
Invested life in medicine which isn’t the wisest way to go
G Em Bm Am
Had so much shit going on, convinced he'd never win
D
Convinced he was a sin.
G Em C D
We'd speak of women and cheaper carryout’s
G Em Bm Am
We'd turn up to all the festivals, trying to bring down the touts,
G B Em
What we loved most of all was sitting round the shop
C
Whilst this poor boy was sitting all alone
D
Sittin' all a.
G Em C D
We'd talk of treasures, and over-rated games
G Em Bm Am
We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.
G B A#m
What we loved most of all was hanging round the shop
Whilst thing you boy was sitting all alone
D#m A#m
He didn’t find none of his own kind (none of his own kind)
C#m G#m
He didn't have none of his own kind (none of his own)
Em Bm Am
You should take interest in his mind, Not spend all of his time,
B D
Wasting all his money and time
G Em Bm C
Thinking of poems of poverty(writing lines and drinking tea)
G Em Bm Am
Sitting with a tight clenched wrist, thinking how to gain authority
(how to gain authority)
G Em Bm C
Oh what a soft touch of a don
G Em Bm Am
He'd wander with pride to sell and keep visions to his self
D
Visions to his self
G Em C D
We'd talk of treasures, and over-rated games
