G   Cadd9   Cadd9   G   G   Cadd9   Cadd9   D

[Chorus]
      C                    D            G            C
The thing that makes your eyes glitter isn't always gold dust
      C                      D              G               C
The wings you think life's given you, they couldn't lift a bread crust

[Verse]
   D            G    C
A siren in the sky calls my body home
     D                             G             C
The last remaining high leaves me low down and alone
     Em                           C
And maps of where you are can be found in every bar
             D           G        C
Where those cosy little homilies hang

[Chorus]
      C                    D            G            C
The thing that makes your eyes glitter isn't always gold dust
      C                      D              G               C
The wings you think life's given you, they couldn't lift a bread crust

[Verse]
     D             G     C
The confidence of kings leeches from my hands
       D                          G            C
Where Jupiter did sing a drunken janitor now stands
    Em                             C
To figure who you are you look in every single car
             D                G                 C
Where they stick those tired sideways looks at life

[Chorus]
      C                    D            G            C
The thing that makes your eyes glitter isn't always gold dust
      C                      D              G               C
The wings you think life's given you, they couldn't lift a bread crust

[Bridge]
   Em                   D
'Alone' - that ain't a word
             C            D
It's just a groan in the morning
   C    D     G
Nobody ever heard


[Break]
G   Cadd9   Cadd9   G   G   Cadd9   Cadd9   D

[Chorus]
      C                    D            G            C
The thing that makes your eyes glitter isn't always gold dust
      C                      D              G               C            G
The wings you think life's given you, they couldn't lift a bread crust
