F#m Bm F#m
See the man in the corner of the tap room
F#m Bm F#m
The froth from the beer is on his lip
F#m Bm F#m
And it's rose-coloured where the skin is glowing
F#m Bm F#m
And the domino is at his fingertip
A Bm D
And he prays each night that his family's alright
F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
And he's got work
[Verse 2]
F#m Bm F#m
See the lollipop lady by the roadside
F#m Bm F#m
Some days, the kids are so hard to control
F#m Bm F#m
But they bring her lots of presents on her birthday
F#m Bm F#m
And their little faces make her feel so old
A Bm D
And she prays each night that her family's alright
D F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
And she's got work
[Chorus]
A E F#m
Strange as it may seem, we all pray for simple things
A E F#m
Strangers share your dreams, who knows what their prayers will bring
A E F#m
Love and health is all, til you falter in your steps and fall
A E C#m
We all live on dreams
[Instrumental]
F#m Bm F#m (x8)
[Verse 3]
F#m Bm F#m
See the lad on the Saturday terraces
F#m Bm F#m
With his collar pulled up around his chin
F#m Bm F#m
His side is two goals down and playing lousy
F#m Bm F#m
But he still believes his team is gonna win
A Bm D
And he prays each night that his family's alright
D
And he's got work
[Chorus]
A E F#m
Strange as it may seem, we all pray for simple things
A E F#m
Strangers share your dreams, who knows what their prayers will bring
A E F#m
Love and health is all, til you falter in your steps and fall
A E C#m
We all live on dreams
[Chorus]
A E F#m
Strange as it may seem, we all pray for simple things
A E F#m
Strangers share your dreams, who knows what their prayers will bring
A E F#m
Love and health is all, til you falter in your steps and fall
A E C#m
We all live on dreams
