Re Fa#m7 Better stop dreaming of the quiet life, Mim7 'cause it's the one we'll never know Fa#m7 And quit running for that runaway bus Mim7 'cause those rosy days are few Sol Fa#m7 And stop apologizing for the things you've never done La 'Cause time is short and life is cruel but it's up to us to change Re This town called malice Fa#m7 Rows and rows of disused milk floats Mim7 stand dying in the dairy yard Fa#m7 And a hundred lonely housewives clutch Mim7 empty milk bottles to their hearts Sol Fa#m7 Hanging out their old love letters on the line to dry La It's enough to make you stop believing when tears come fast and furious Re In a town called malice, yeah Fa#m7 Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Mim7 Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Fa#m7 Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Mim7 Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba Sol Fa#m7 Struggle after struggle, year after year La The atmosphere's a fine blend of ice, I'm almost stone cold dead Re In a town called malice, ooh yeah Do# Sim7 A whole street's belief in Sunday's roast beef Do#m Sim7 Gets dashed against the Co-op La To either cut down on beer or the kid's new gear La7 Re It's a big decision in a town called malice, ooh yeah Fa#m7 Mim7 The ghost of a steam train, echoes down my track Fam7 It's at the moment bound for nowhere Mim7 Just going round and round, oh Sol Playground kids and creaking swings Fa#m7 Lost laughter in the breeze La I could go on for hours and I probably will But I'd sooner put some joy back Re In this town called malice, yeah In this town called malice, yeah In this town called malice, ooh yeah
