D
Build a bridge or maybe two
D
Together held with footsteps she outgrew
Em G D
But now she sits alone, everyone's long gone
D
She dances in a photograph
D
When it was good to joke and have a laugh
Em G D
But that was yesterday, if only today
G
Now the walls are crawling faces
D
that still breathe
G A
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep
(Chorus 1)
D
She hears a chorus of factory girls
G
Singin' in the streets
C
Drinkin' their coca-colas
A
After washing your filthy sheets
D
Chasin' down the avenue
D
After a childhood that she never knew
Em
Choking on woodbine
G D
Cigarettes just kill the time
G
Now the walls are crawling faces
D
that still breathe
G A
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep
(Chorus 2)
D
She hears a chorus of factory girls
G
Singin' aoin and all
C
Empty are their pockets
A
But their voices are filled with song
D
Come day go day
A
Wish in my heart it was Sunday
G A
Drinking buttermilk all the week
D
And whiskey on a Sunday (traditional)
G
Now the walls are crawling faces
D
that still breathe
G A
But before she nods her head what's left but sleep
(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)
D
Slayed Richard and his court of Kings
D
He stole my heart and many other things
Em
But me I took his crown
G D
Wish he was here to steal it now
