[Verse 1]
Bm/E
Sometimes you're better off dead
        Bm/E
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
    Am7
You think you're mad, too unstable
Am7
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
     Bm/E
In a restaurant in a West End town
Bm/E
Call the police, there's a madman around
Am7
Running down underground 
     Am7
To a dive bar in a West End town


[Chorus]
     Bm
In a West End town, a dead end world
                      Am7
The East End boys and West End girls

[Verse 2]
Bm/E
Too many shadows, whispering voices
Bm/E
Faces on posters, too many choices
Am7
If, when, why, what?
Am7
How much have you got?
         Bm/E
Have you got it, do you get it, if so, how often?
    Bm/E
And which do you choose, a hard or soft option?
Am7
  (How much do you need?)


[Chorus]

In a West End town, a dead end world
                      Am7

[Verse]
             Bm/E
You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Bm/E
Just you wait 'til I get you home
      Am7
We've got no future, we've got no past
Am7
Here today, built to last
   Bm/E
In every city, in every nation
     Bm/E
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station
Am7
   (How far have you been?)
