Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Bm][D][C][Bm][Am][C][Am][C][Am][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]He
used to be a singer in a [Bm]rock and roll band
[D]He would write the songs and I'd
[C]tremble [Bm]at his h[Am]and but oh la la[Bm]
He [C]lost my word to [Am]get the girl
And [C]his songs [Bm]were [Am]pathetic[C]
[Am]And hes a failure now
[G]

[Verse 2]
He used to be the life and soul
of [Bm]everyone around
You'd [D]never catch him looking
up I'd [C]never [Am]see him down
But oh la [Bm]la
He [C]couldn't raise a [Am]smile
[C]No not [Bm]for a w[Am]hile
[C]And he's a [Am]failure now.

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][D]

[Verse 3]
[G]Don't cry [Bm]child
[C]You've got so much more to liv[D]e for
[G]Don't cry [Bm]child
[C]You've got something I would [D]die for
And if it [G]comes to the [Bm]rain
Just be [C]glad you'll smile [D]again
Because so many [G]don't [Bm]and
so many [C]go unnamed
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]People push right pass me
[Bm]shouting [G]their disclaim[Bm]s
A [D]preacher pushes me a side an[C]d asks
to wash my [Am]sins I said no la [G]la
If [C]he made [Am]me in[G] his i[Am]mage
then he's a failure too.
[G]

[Verse 5]
I used to need a couple people
keep my head down
[D]Now I need a whole lot more to
[C]keep me on the [Am]ground.
But oh la [G]la
[C]I gave up s[Am]omething and I[C] gave it up for
[Am]nothing and I'm a failure now.
[C][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]Don't cry [Bm]child[G]
[C]You've got so much more to liv[D]e for
[G]Don't cry [Bm]child[G]
[C]You've got something I would die[D] for
And if it [G]comes to the [Bm]rain just be
[C]glad you'll smile [D]again
Because so many [G]don't [Bm]and [G]so many go un[C]
