Chords

[Intro] C Cmaj7 F C [Chorus]
Cmaj7
I'm the town crier

F                         C
And everybody knows

Cmaj7
I'm a little down

F                            C
With a lifetime to go

Am                      Am/G                                D/F#
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place

Am                      Am/G                    D/F#
Why don't you take a good look at my face

Bm                       Bm/A                   E/G#
Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip

Bm                                         Bm/A          E/G#
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip
[Verse 1]
Em
I'm never going to cry again

Bm
I'm going to be as strong as them

Em
They say they'd die for love and then they live it out

Bm
They'll give you something to cry about

Am                            Am/G          D/F#
And suddenly you really fall to pieces
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
I'm the town crier

F                         C
And everybody knows

Cmaj7
I'm a little down

F                            C
With a lifetime to go

Am                      Am/G                                D/F#
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place

Am                      Am/G                    D/F#
Why don't you take a good look at my face

Bm                   Bm/A                   E/G#
Other boys use the splendour of their trembling lip

Bm                     Bm/A          E/G#
They're so teddy bear tender and tragically hip
[Verse 2]
Em
Love and unhappiness go arm in arm

Bm
Long suffering friends of your fatal charm

Em
Isn't it a pity that you're going to get hurt

Bm
Just a little boy lost in a big man's shirt

Am                            Am/G          D/F#
And suddenly you really fall to pieces
[Chorus]
Cmaj7

And everybody knows

Cmaj7
I'm a little down

F                            C
With a lifetime to go

Am                      Am/G                                D/F#
Maybe you don't believe my heart is in the right place

Am                      Am/G                    D/F#
Why don't you take a good look at my face
