[Intro]
D A
C G Em A
[Verse]
D A
I left school at just 14 I'm told I'm paying the price
C G
It's kept me small and kept me mean
Em A
Having to be nice when I don't feel nice
D A
Stood on many corners, up against many a wall
C G Em A
Said I'm gonna work much harder but then easy calls
D A
And easy calls me often, and always by my name
C G
Being called by a name means something to a man
Em A
who's been left out of the game
[Chorus]
C G
I've got nothing to offer you
D C
but the rest of my life
C G
Nothing I can really offer you
D C
but the rest of my life
Em G A
And a sad love song
[verse]
D A
I'm the son of a decent man, a decent mother too
C G
They were taught suffering and working too hard
Em A
It's just what good people do
D A
You build two walls of silence, another two of pain
C G Em A
If you have your own door to close behind you, you can keep yourself halfway sane.
D A
But the only thing that's golden are the crumbs upon the ground
C G Em A
They fill your mouth like jewels from an everlasting crown
[Chorus]
C G
I've got nothing to offer you
D C
but the rest of my life
C D
Nothing I can really offer you
D C
but the rest of my life
Em G A
And a sad love song
[verse]
D A
I drive a big blue car, from 1983,
C G
It's the only thing I've ever been good to and
Em A
the only thing that's been good to me
D A
Money comes money goes, it doesn't stay around me too long
C G Em A
I don't know much about very much, and less about right and wrong
D A
If I do go on if I don't go on, well the reasons will be much the same
C G Em A
I've lived without the ground beneath me man, I've lived without a name
[Chorus]
C G
I've got nothing to offer you
D C
but the rest of my life
C D
Nothing I can really offer you
D C
but the rest of my life
Em G A
And a sad love song
[outro]
D A C
Stay, stay away from the man, who says that love,
Em G A
love comes from outerspace x 4
