D#m7 C#sus4 Bmaj7 C#sus4 I met him outside a hostel door D#m7 C#sus4 Bmaj7 C#sus4 He said I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours D#m7 C#sus4 Bmaj7 C#sus4 I know you think it’s shifty for a man in his fifties to be D#m7 C#sus4 Bmaj7 sleeping in a hostel dorm But I used to be a welder by trade Used to work by the water where the ships get made But no ship yard will take me now Hands are too shaky now And I've spend all my money before I get paid Chorus: C#sus4 F# And I said David, don’t you think it’s strange Bmaj7 While you were in your dark room F# How the world went and changed C#sus4 D#m7 Looking in your eyes, I think you know Bmaj7 C#sus4 D#m7 That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago He leans his head against the hostel wall Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me And a kid that doesn't call And every month I'm caught short With my fucking child support And the court says that I'm reckless and irresponsible Cause it was never part of the plan To be a middle aged man To be sat outside a hostel, shaking strangers hands But I've drunk away my wealth I'm a picture of bad health And I'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self Chorus: And I said: David, don't you think it's strange For years you were walking and how the world went and changed I hear it in your voice I think you know That David we lost you, lost you a long time ago I said David, don't you think that it's strange While you where sleeping How the world went and changed Looking in your eyes I think you know David, we lost you We lost you a long time ago | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsC#sus4  D#m  D#m7  F#  Bm  Bmaj7  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
