The Divine Comedy – Lost Property (Guitar)

Dm                C      Em                  D
    Postcards and letters,   T-shirts and sweaters

Dm                C      Em                 D
    Passports and Parkas,   Mobiles and chargers

Dm                C      Em           D
   Two tennis rackets,      Blue Rizla packets

Dm                    C
   A new sheep-skin jacket, I lost it

Em             Esus2            Ddim
All through my life there have been

       A                 C
Many rare and precious things

        B             Em
I have tried to call mine

      Esus         Ddim
But I just cannot seem

          A         C
To keep hold of anything

      B               Em
For more than a short time

  Esus            Ddim    A      C
Possessions of a sentimental kind

            B                A    A7
They were mine, now they're not

Dm             C       Em         D
  Gym-kits and trainers,   asthma inhalers (Lost, blown like seeds on the wind)

Dm                C    Em                  D
  Silk-cuts and Bennies,  ten-packs and twenties (Everything lost, tossed like ships on the ocean)

Dm                C  Em         D
  C-class narcotics,    antibiotics (And dashed on the rocks,  hiding just out of reach)

Dm                C
  The holes in my pockets,  I lost it

Em         D#
 all (Waiting for me)

Em           Esus       Ddim
All that I'd like is to know

       A                        C
Just where do those lost things go?

           B            Em
When they slip from my hands

         Esus2        Ddim
Then one night in a dream

            A                  C
I passed through a sheepskin screen

       B                 Em
To a green and pleasant land

    Esus  Ddim  A                     C
I found them    all piled up into the sky

         B
And I cried tears of

Em     D#
Joy
