For The Maudlin Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Maybe the world would be
[D]better without [G]me[Em][G]
I got a bad habit [C]of fucking
[G]up[Em][G]
when every sunrise [D]I see
takes [G]the piss out of [C]me
and [G]there's cold tea in
[D]our loving cup
[G][Em][G]

[Verse 2]
I don't mean to sug[D]gest that
[G]I loved you the be[Em]st[G]
I mean it's heavy,
but it's [C]not heavy [G]rock[Em][G]
and now I'm feeling depressed
[D]sitting her[G]e in my ves[C]t
it's like we're [G]born with our
[D]heads on the [G]block
[Em][G]

[Verse 3]
And [C]this song is for the strug[G]glers
[Em]it's for the cynics and [C]the maudlin
and this song is for the [G]poor boy
[Em]I won't be there in the mornin[C]g

[Verse 4]
[C]
Oh don't [G]give up,
[D]don't give up on [G]us[Em][G][Em]
and sure [G]these are degen
[D]erate tim[G]es[Em][G]
you don't have to be some
[C]kind of gur[G]u[Em][G]
just chuck something to[D]gether
as [G]long as it [C]rhymes
and I [G]hope that is [D]means
something [G]to you
[Em][G]

[Verse 5]
And if I suck in my [D]cheeks when
I'm with [G]you[Em][G]
and if I wear too much [C]soap
in my [G]hair[Em][G]
pull on your kitten heel shoes
[D]we've got dan[G]cing to do[C]
pulling [G]teeth from the jaws
[D]of des[G]pair

[Verse 6]
[G]
Cos [C]this song is for [G]the strugglers
it's for [Em]the cynics and the [C]maudlin
this song is for [G]the poor boy
I won't [Em]be there in the mornin[C]g

[Verse 7]
[C]
[Am]And this[C] song is for the s[G]trugglers
it's for [Em]the cynics and the [C]maudlin
and this song is for the poor [G]boy
I won't [Em]be there in the mornin[C]g
no, I'll be [G]asleep on an [D]overnight bus
[G][Em]
