A                                              Bm
Tired like the beggar with the cold inside his bones
A
Looking for the pleasure that he knew was so far
 Bm
gone
        E  C#m
So far gone
         F#7
I took a turn to myself

Chorus:
              Bm                 E            A
And I was surprised, cause I saw everyone who ever
       D
I had loved
   A                F#m           E
I felt a whole lot better after that

People look at us and they think were doing fine
People look at us 'cause they see us all the time
All the time
But they never take to us

Chorus:
                   Bm
We've been in this town so long we
 E              C#m
may as well be dead
           F#7               Bm
So long as people turn their heads
                 E               Amaj7
And cross the street whenever we walk on by

Someone told the truth when it really mattered most
The beauty of the moment is the beauty sadly lost
Sadly lost
So I went around to your house

Chorus:
Over tea and gin, we talked about
the things we read
In Luke and John, the things he said
And now it's morning, we are the sleepyheads
