The world lives in your front room

So you're clinging, pulling, pleading

Keep it cosy but it feels so out of place

It never was really proved, never was understood,

They're shouting so loud that they'd do better to mine

A C# F# E E7
You beg for help and advice, how to handle your life,
D A
But you dare not move, you cannot pay the price
C# F#
Chances slip, you just shatter, flatter, forget what matters
D
Spout your lines, read all your books
E
You hear the sounds, miss all the hooks
D E
Your best is what you least understand
D
You hate the graft, won't join the race,
E
You're scared to scar your pretty face
D E
State now cos your head's in the sand.
D E (x6)
