Bb Am

Poorly you`re more than poorly Jimmy

Bb Am

More than that worse than that

Dm C

This is a case of photographs smudged and dropped and laughed at

Dm C

Here`s some things that came in post letters never sent but wrote

Dm

Shelves of books not opened browsed in and bored you

C

Unlocked things that should have been fastened down

Bb Am

To be burned to be burned Jimmy

G

To be gone forever

F G

So you`re down town raking bins

F G

Through carry outs and skins

F G F G

To find the hundred things that led you here

So you`re down town raking bins

Through carry outs and skins

To find the hundred things that led you here

Long night walking hills scratched and cut bruised and hurt

With all your tension and your guilt

Stories of the beer and care and speed you spilled

Pleased at your speaking worried by the content

About this love and this land and this firmament

Forgotten how to dream started just to scream

Bb Am

Forgotten to return to return Jimmy

G

To fight your way back

Chorus

Bb Am

Tired well I`m tired too Jimmy

Bb Am

More than that I`m angry at that

(Dm & C)

Well now that I`m finished this small town world seems so much bigger

It didn`t seem important then between jobs and flags and parliaments

But our small time world seems bigger and maybe more worth fighting for

Maybe at the heart of things they`ll be clowns and we`ll be kings

Chorus
