your list of I meant to say

Like winter comes too soon
    Am  G      F          G      G
or "Radiators hum out of tune

    F            C
Out under the Disraeli
     G                 F
with rusty train track ties
      F                     C
we'll carve new streets and sidewalks
  G              F
a city for small lives

and say that we'll stay for one more year

what all empty playgrounds know

Am        G      F
that sympathy is cruel
Am        G          F        G      G
Reluctant jester or simpering fool

    F                C
But six feet off the highway
    G                    F
our bare legs stung with wheat
      F              C
we'll dig a hole and bury
    G                F
all we could not defeat
    F              G                 C
and say that we'll stay for one more year

 F               C
Bend to tie a shoelace
    G                  F
or bend against your fear
    F                G                C
and say that you'll stay for one more year
