VERSE:
C                   G
dirty streets like dirty dreams
Apart for your best friend
plenty of shops with nothing in stock
D
it never seems to end (never seems to end)
C                   G
a cinema, a bowling green
a culture to preserve
everyone always staring at each other
D
but no one speaks a word
 
PD  CHORUS:
         A         D
(is it a) dream or is it funny
(does it) always rain or is it sunny, sunny
         E         D
         sunny...............

         I swallow my dreams like my beer
         D           E              A           Asus4
         Sunday dinner with the wife now
         D           E              A           A
         cause nothing new happens here...........
 
VERSE:
C                    G
I work all week in the company office
They don't even know my name
I feel so cold, they watch me grown old
D
Cause nothing will ever change (nothing will ever change)
C                    G
So drink with the boys though
to the future and my queen
think I'll marry the girl who lives down the road
D
and support my local team
