[Intro] F#m E F#m E x 2 [Verse 1]
F#m                           E
When Joey puts her make-up on really well

          F#m                  E
She looks cool in the flashing lights

    F#m                           E
And all the boys gossip about the shape of her legs

         F#m                    E
On these muddled up and drunken nights

            Am                  C         D
And if it's all got to end up between the sheets

        Am                C     D
She can coo like a virgin dove

    F#m                             E
But really she just doesn't want to be alone

           F#m                    E
And if you want you can call that   love
F#m E F#m E x 2 [Verse 2]
F#m           E                  F#m                E
M6 southbound roadside cafe on a wild wet and windy night

          F#m                   E                    F#m                    E
There's a kid in a sleeping bag huddled in a corner, trying to beg a light

         Am                C               D
He's got mummer and dad tattooed on his arm

             Am                                C       D
From when he thought that that would make it alright

         F#m                  E
He's got hope and fear on his young boy's face

        F#m             E
Another innocent taking flight, saying
[Chorus]
B            D                 F#m
Give me some place where I can go

                      A
Where I don't have to justify myself

B             D                 F#m
Swimming out alone against this tide

            A                  F#m
Looking for family looking for tribe

            A                    F#
Looking for family searching for tribe

            A
Looking for family, looking for tribe
F#m E F#m E x 2 [Verse 3]
          F#m                        E
They said go, get out, we've got our own lives to lead

         F#m                   E
Now that water is thicker than blood

          F#m                   E
And every house is divided into single flats

                F#m                E
With their very own little welcome rug

    Am                  C            D
The shopping mall it is teeming with life

Am                              C        D
Fighting for the goodies on the shelf

                  F#m                     E
But there's those funny old people on the escalators

F#m                E
    Talking to themselves, saying
[Chorus]
B            D                 F#m
Give me some place where I can go

                      A
Where I don't have to justify myself

B             D                 F#m
Swimming out alone against this tide

            A                  F#m
Looking for family looking for tribe

            A                    F#
Looking for family searching for tribe

            A
Looking for family, looking for tribe

Looking for family
[Verse 4]
          F#m                  E
Well I survive on my own for a while or so

       F#m                 E
Upon a whim or a bottle of wine

     F#m                           E
Just trying to make sense of these new surroundings

  F#m                    E
I only changed my name a couple of times

       Am                          C           D
Please take me back Joey, well I'm really sorry

       Am                  C        D
Can we try to make a happy home?

          F#m                                E
But she's gone with someone else and they're starting a family

F#m                        E
Trying for a clan of their own, so
[Chorus]
B            D                 F#m
