[Intro 1]
[Bb][Am][G][C][Bb][Am][G][C]
[F][C][Dm][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]You don't
know a [Em]thing [G]about their [D]lives[Dm][D][A]
[C]They live where you [Em]would[G]n't
dare to [D]drive[Dm][D][A][C]
You shake as you [Em]think
of [G]how [D]they [A]sleep
But you [C]write as if you [Em]all
lie [G]side [D]by [Dm]side[A]
[Bb]Reader, meet Au[Am]thor
With [G]the hope of hearing [C]sense
But you [Bb]may be feeling let d[Am]own
By the [G]words of defense
[C]He says "No[F]-one ever ever
[C]sees me when I cry"

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][F][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]You don't know a [Em]thing
[G]about their [Dm]lives[D][A]
[C]Books don't save them,
book[Em]s aren't Sta[G]nley kni[D]ves[A]
And if [C]a fight [G]broke out
here to[D]night[A]
You'd [C]be the first away,
[Em]beca[G]use you're that type[D][A]
And the [Bb]year two thou[Am]sand
won't [G]change anyone [C]here
As each [Bb]fabled promise [Am]flies so fast
You'll [G]swear it was never [C]there
Oh, have you [F]ever escaped from [C]a shipwrecked life?

[Interlude 2]
[Dm][G][Am][Eb][Bb][F]
[Am][Eb]
[Bb][F][Am][Eb][Bb][F][Am]
[Eb][Bb][F][G][C][G][D][A][C]
[G][D][A][C][G][D][A][C]
[G][D][A]

[Verse 3]
So [Bb]safely with your soft[Am]ware,
[G]miles from the front [C]line
You [Bb]hear the way their [Am]sad voice sings,
and [G]you start to imagine [C]things
Oh, [F]any excuse to [C]write more lies

[Outro 1]
[Dm][F][G][Am][Eb][Bb][F]
[Am][Am]
