D
F#m
Stop dreaming of a quiet life
Em
#1 Cause it #1 s the one we #1 ll never know
F#m
And quit running for that runaway bus
Em
Cause those rosy days are few
G
And stop apologizing
F#m
For the things you #1 ve never done
A
#1 Cause time is short and life is cruel
But it #1 s up to us to change
D
This town called Malice
F#m
Rows and rows of disused milk
Em
Floats stand dying in the dairy yard
F#m
And a hundred lonely housewifes
Em
Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
G
Hanging out their old love letters
F#m
On the lines to dry
A
It #1 s enough to make you stop believing
When tears come fast and furious
D
In this town called Malice
F#m Em
F#m Em
G
Struggle after struggle
F#m
Year after year
A
The atmosphere #1 s a fine blend of ice
I #1 m almost stone cold dead
D
In this town called Malice
Db
A whole street #1 s belief
Bm
in Sunday #1 s roast beef
Dbm Bm
Gets dashed against the Co-Op
A
To either cut down on beer
Or the kid #1 s new gear
D
It #1 s a big descicion in this town called Malice
Oh yeah
F#m
The ghost of a steam train
Em
Echoes down my track
F#m
It #1 s at the moment bound for nowhere
Em
Just going round and round
G
Playground kids and creaking swings
F#m
Lost laughter in the breeze
A
I could go on for hours and I propably will
But I #1 d sooner put some joy back in
D
This town called Malice
This town called Malice
This town called Mailce
