Crumbling Empire chords and lyrics - SAM FENDER

Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Road like
the surface of the moon
A [Em]Detroit neighborhood left to ruin
[D]Gil at the wheel, showing me the sight
Of this crumbling em[C]pire
[G]Following suit in the Atlantic mirror
[Em]Under the Byker Bridge, they shiver
It's [D]one for me, and one for the dead
And one for my crumbling em[C]pire

[Verse 2]
I'm [G]not preaching, I'm just talking
I [Em]don't wear the shoes I used to walk in
But I [D]can't help thinking
where they'd take me
In this crumbling em[C]pire

[Verse 3]
My [G]old man worked on the rail yard
[Em]Getting his trade on the electrical board
It [D]got privatized, the work degraded
In this crumbling em[C]pire
My [G]mother delivered most the
kids in this town
[Em]My stepdad drove in
a tank for the crown
They [D]left them homeless, down and out
In their crumbling [C]em pire

[Verse 4]
And I'm [G]not preaching, I'm just talking
I [Em]don't wear the shoes I used to walk in
But I [D]can't help thinking where I'd be
In this crumbling em[C]pire

[Verse 5]
In this crumbling em[G]pire
In this crumbling [Em]empire
In this crum[D]bling,
in this [C]crumbling empire

[Verse 6]
[G]Earl was a kid when they threw him out
[Em]Liv ing on the streets
down Camden Town
[D]Under the arches, strung right out
In a crumbling [C]em pire
[G]Twenty five years on crack and dope
[Em]Begging to pay for synthetic hope
Just an[D]other kid failed
by these blokes
And their crumbling [C]empire

[Verse 7]
I'm [G]not preaching, I'm just talking
I don't [Em]wear the shoes I used to walk in
But I [D]can't help thinking
where they'd take me
In this crumbling [C]em pire

[Verse 8]
In this crumbling empire [G]In
this crumbling [Em]em pire
In this crumbling [D]empire
In our crumbling empire
In our [C]crumbling empire
In our [G]crum[Em]bling empire
In our crumbling empire

[Outro 1]
Hey
