Town Called Malice Cifras

The Jam – Town Called Malice
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
            F#m
Better stop dreaming of a quiet life,
                         Em
´Cause it´s the one we´ll never know
        F#m
And quit running for that runaway bus
                       Em
`Cause those rosy days are few
         G
And stop apologizing,
             F#m
For the things you´vre never done
                A
´CausetTime is short and life is cruel
 
But it´s up to us to change
                              D
This town called Malice
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F#m
Rows and rows of disused milk
                      Em
Floats stand dying in the dairy yard
             F#m
And a hundred lonely house wifes
 
                      Em
Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
    G
Hanging out their old love letters
F#m
On the lines to dry
           A
It´s enough to make you stop believing
When tears come fast and furious
                                 D
In this town called Malice
F#m  Em
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
F#m  Em
 
 
[Chorus]
 
G
Struggle after struggle
F#m
Year after year
 
 
[Bridge]
 
              A
The atmosphere´s a fine blend of ice
 
I´m almost stone cold dead
                                 D
In this town called Malice
     Db
A whole street´s belief
       Bm
in Sunday´s roast beef
          Dbm                         Bm
Gets dashed against the Co-Op
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                A
To either cut down on beer
 
Or the kid´s new gear
                                                                D
It´s a big descicion in this town called Malice
 
Oh, yeah
 
F#m
The ghost of a steam train
 Em
Echoes down my track
F#m
It´s at the moment bound for nowhere
Em
Just going round and round
       G
Playground kids and creaking swings
F#m
Lost laughter in the breeze
            A
I could go on for hours and I propably will
 
But I´d sooner put some joy back in
 
 
[Outro]
 
                              D
This town called Malice
 
This town called Malice
 
This town called Mailce
