Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C][C][C]
[C][C][C][C]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 1]
Better [Em]stop dreaming of the quiet life
'Cause it's the [Dm]one we'll never know
And [Em]quit running for that runaway bus
'Cause those [Dm]rosy days are few
And [F]stop apologizing
for the [Em]things you've never done
'Cause [G]time is short and life is cruel
but it's up to us to change

[Interlude 1]
This town called
[C](Malice)[C][C][C]
[C][C][C][C]

[Verse 2]
[Em]Rows and rows of disused milk floats
Stand [Dm]dying in the dairy yard
And a [Em]hundred lonely housewives
clutch empty [Dm]milk bottles to their hearts
[F]Hanging out their old love letters
[Em]on the line to dry
It's e[G]nough to make you stop believing
when tears come fast and furious

[Interlude 2]
In a town called
[C](Malice)[C][C][C]
[C][C][C][C]

[Bridge 1]
[Em]Pa, pa, pa, pa, para, pa
[Dm]Pa, pa, para, pa, oh
[Em]Pa, pa, pa, pa, para, pa
[Dm]Pa, pa, para, pa
[F]Struggle after struggle,
[Em]year after year
The [G]atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
I'm almost stone cold dead

[Interlude 3]
In a town called
[C](Malice)[C][C][C]
[C][C][C][C]

[Bridge 2]
A [B]whole street's belief in [Am]Sunday's roast beef
Gets [Bm]dashed against the [Am]Co-op
To either [G]cut down on beer
or the kids new gear
It's a big decision in a town called Malice
[C]Ooh, yeah

[Interlude 4]
[C][C][C][C]
[C][C][C][C]
[C][C]

[Bridge 3]
[Em]The ghost of a steam train
[Dm]echoes down my track
[Em]It's at the moment bound for nowhere
[Dm]just going round and round
[F]Playground kids and creaking swings
[Em]Lost laughter in the breeze
[G]Could go on for hours and I probably will
But I'd sooner put some joy back

[Outro 1]
In this town called
[C](Malice) yeah
Ooh
In this town called Malice, yeah
[Fade Out]
