Intro RE SOL LA RE
RE
I'm on a B road heading for the sea
MIm
To see if hands across the ocean
LA RE
Shake or wave
RE
Through the whiplash of the windscreen wipers
MIm
I can see for miles
LA
But all I do is watch the time
RE
And the driver's hands
He harbours thoughts on personal grief
I said your hardship's
Only one of a fleet
That didn't go down well
CHORUS
RE LA
Listen son if you'd spent
SIm
Your life in the last lane
LA MIm RE LA
You would have an accent to grind
RE LA
Punch-drunk on patriotism
SIm
Blind-drunk on borderism
LA RE SOL LA RE
Maybe I should drive
RE
And while you're castaway
The mice'll play
MIm
They'll have a license
LA
To dull those left back home
RE
What about those poor souls?
CHORUS
MIm RE
And as I jumped to these conclusions
MIm RE
He thumped his feet on the brakes
LA
But we still hit a songwriter
RE SOL RE SOL MIm SOL RE
Trudging through the rain
LA
Scrambled out and watched him
Rest in pieces
SIm
Said a prayer and rifled
MI
Through his pockets
But the side of his mouth
LA
Still had something to say
RE
At the toss of a coin
SOL
I end up head in the dirt
LA
And tail in the air
RE
Yet you can dance away
SOL LAm
But be it friend of hard-up-man
=46ellow or kin
RE
When the chips are down
SOL
They're down for good
