G                            Bm
If funny looks don't get you down
Cmaj7     Bm7            Cmaj7 D7
You could get on in this town
G                           Bm
The drivers crawl along the curb
Cmaj7          Bm7               Cmaj7 Bm7
The thought of walking's quite absurd
Cmaj7       Bm7             Em7  D6
The dumbest thing I've ever heard

G                            Bm
The living church must move along
Cmaj7    Bm7               Cmaj7 D7
The Carmelites could use a song
G                        Bm
A blessing Father if you please
Cmaj7    Bm7               Cmaj7 Bm7
Help the hopeless in their need
Cmaj7       Bm7             Em7  D6
They don't need this kind of sleaze

C7
Here's a man whose run the marathon
C7                                   G Dm7 G Dm7
Sad and lonely now it's been and gone
C7
Let me check upon my family
C7
I wonder, do they still remember me
Bb     Eb       G      C/D
I'm on the run, on the fun run

[Verse 3]
G                   Bm
Gifted artists need respect
Cmaj7  Bm7             Cmaj7 D7
True collectors must collect

G                        Bm
There behind those rusty gates
Cmaj7 Bm7                Cmaj7 Bm7
Dodgy sculptured license plates
Cmaj7      Bm7            Em7 D6
The gifted sit around and wait
