[Verse 1]
[D]Yesterday night, I was out on the [F#m]streets
and I [D]saw millions [G]of
homeless people.
You should be out there
Theresa [D]May.
You should be [G]building houses.
[F#]Look, [F#m]I'm only five years
old.
[D]There's nothing [G]I can do [F#m]about it.
You've got to put [D]money,
spend some and
help people.
That's what you've got to [D]do.
I'm very angry.
Made [G]my [C]bed for the [G]night
[Bb]in a d[F]oorway off the s[G]treet
But [F]the [C]late night city drinkers,
they won't [D]let me [G]go asleep
All I [C]want is a pillow
that [F]isn't made of [C]stone
Give me shelter [G]from the [C]storm
I [G]want a [C]small patch of [G]earth
[Bb]with a [F]personal ad[C]dress
[G]A f[C]ire would be good
but I'd be [D]happy having [G]less
Just a [C]stove in the kitchen
[F]that I can call my [C]own
Give me shelter from [G]the [C]storm
Give me shelter,
[Bb]give me [F]somewhere safe and [C]warm
Just a door with a number
that [D]I can call a [G]home
Give me [C]shelter, give me [Bb]shelter,
give me [F]shelter,
[G]give me shelter from the storm.
[C]The[G]re's a pro[C]perty ladder[G]
but the rungs are all cut [G]through.
A [C]mountain's worth of red tape
that's [D]blocking out the [G]view.
Face[C]less bureaucracy
wherever [F]I may r[C]oam,
give me shelter from [G]the [C]storm.
The right to buy became a [G]right to let.
A [C]savings plan became
[G]a m[D]ounting d[G]ebt.
[C]Who needs a house
when you've [F]got a retail [C]zone?
Give me shelter [G]from the [C]storm.
Give [G]me [C]shelter,
[G]give me somewhere safe and war[C]m
Just a door with a number
that [D]I can call a [G]home
Give me [C]shelter[F], give me shelter,
[G]give me shelter from the [C]storm
Old Gerard Winstanley,
[F]he famously declared
[G]The ear[C]th's a common tre[G]asury
for everyone to share
But someone formed the [C]treasure
[F]for a payday [G]loan
Give me [C]shelter [G]from the [C]storm
From [G]my [C]doorway [G]on the street,
as I look across the town
I [G]can [C]see the high street banks
[G]that are [D]standing all [G]around
Their [C]money's keeping warm
while I'm freezing to my bones
[G]Give me shelter [C]from [G]the [C]storm
Give me [G]shelter [C]from [G]the[F#] storm
