Billy Bragg – Lovers Town (Guitar)

G       D              C         D
All the lies they told us in the classroom

G        D             C          D
Wouldn't fit in the outside world

G                   D
They were right and I was wrong

C             D
I just had to tag along

G                   D
Only knew what they taught me

  C                D
Remember when they caught me

C                                             D
Not disobeying, just trying to get out of the way

G            D              C         D
It came to a head one night two dances two fights

G      D               C   D
All my mates just ran away

G        D                C                     D
And as I walked home with blood and the tears on my best shirt

    G                  D               C  D
And someone said 'Will they come after you?'

C                 Am
I began to wonder what did I do wrong here

C                D
I began to wonder do I belong here

               C          Bm    Am      D
You think that love only exists in your eyes

         C       Bm     Am      D
But it exists in girls' smiles

                   C          Bm    Am      D
And you think that love only exists in your eyes

        C        Bm    Am      Em C
But it exists in girls' smiles

           G D C D G D C D
In Lover's Town

G     D          C                D             G
I was lonely then the whole world had it in for me

         D
How cool I must have been

C         D               G
All metal comb and misery

            D               C                   D
If ever you go back there's lessons still to be learned

      G             D                   C
Those same boys are waiting outside the dance hall

               D
For when you return

               C          Bm    Am      D
You think that love only exists in your eyes

         C       Bm     Am      D
But it exists in girls' smiles

                   C          Bm    Am      D
And you think that love only exists in your eyes

        C        Bm    Am      Em C
But it exists in girls' smiles

           G Bm C D G Bm C D
In Lover's Town

G        Bm
When the carpet's paid for

C       D
You can have a party

G        Bm                   C      D
And your friends can all come round

G             Bm
But they were not my friends

C               D
My friends were in the future

G       Bm             C             D
Just as well I had the sense to hide

             G            Bm
For this was Lover's Town

   C              D
No other town was quite like Lover's

G            Bm
Lover's Town

   C              D
No other town was quite like Lover's

G             Bm
Lover's Town, Lover's Town

C      D
Oh, oh, oh Lover's

G             Bm
Lover's Town, Lover's Town

C           D          G    Bm C D G Bm C D
Oh, oh, oh, oh Lover's Town
