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
