Lump Street

E C Am E

[Verse 1]
E                      C
In a commissioned town, on Lump Street
   Am                                 E
The brick-hard boy repeats a scripted lie
E                    C
Eyes to the ground on Lump Street
          Am
There’s a broken jaw behind the dog-tooth smile

E C Am E

[Verse 2]
E                            C
The grunt and moan behind the night here
       Am
Though breath is warm, sex is cold
E                  C
Nothing is grown on Lump Street
     Am                             E
Each piece is fired inside a broken mould

            Am
Do you want more
          E         F
unshapely love?
                 C
What you waiting for?
             Am
Cut out that lump

[Verse 3]
E                                     C
She tore his tongue out at the end of Lump Street
    Am                                 E
She liked to see the blood beneath his skin
                                C
He wore her muscles, kissed the bruising
  Am
Away
   E
Away

            Am
Do you want more
          E         F
unshapely love?
                 C
What you waiting for?
             Am
Cut out that lump

           Am
Do you want more
          E         F
unshapely love?
                 C
What you waiting for?
             Am
Cut out that lump

G
He’s a full-grown man, no shoulder to cry on
          C                                            C  G
raised by wolves and they taught him to bite down hard

No locks on the doors no corner to hide in
           C                      C     G
scars like armour, dead boys eyes

G
She’s a Lump Street girl, with a blade in her brow
              C                                C   G
Raised by the state but they tore it all down
G
They fucked and they fought but it still felt right
                    C                         C  G
Run away from these orange Lump Street lights

G
Get together now
     C
Find hope
                                           G
There is a life beyond the one you already know
G
Get together now
        C
Build a home
                                         G
There is life beyond the one you already know
