     D            Bm 
Just off the boat 
            G                 A 
They pushed out on a spending spree 
                    D      Bm 
I've spied and I've caught                                  (picking) 
  G                           A                      D  Bm   Em Em7   A 
A taxi to half-way home, I've miles, miles, miles to go 
                    D    Bm 
I gave the bar room boys 
  G                A                   D    Bm 
A lesson in making sure you walk home alone           (picking) 
         G                    A                 D  Bm  Em Em7   A 
With the dregs of your dignity to keep you company 
  D       A                F#m 
A lull in language left my words stale 
G*                    D               G               A     Asus4  A  Asus2  A 
Flying bare faced I began to hate the sound of my own voice  



D                A 
Some are born in heaven 
G                C 
Some are born in Irvine 
        F                           C 
And the door is as far as they will go

                    D    Bm 
Another Chorus line urge 
G                         A 
Crushed by the coast line quirks 
                  D         Bm 
Who've held their high tide 
      G                     A                D       Bm   Em   A 
Since leaving their problems in the secondary modern 
  D             A 
A man who tried harder than I 
F#m    G* 
Boldly crossed to one side he said 
 D               G                  A       Asus4  A  Asus2  A 
'Hang on to your head I'll help you through'  


D                A 
Some are born in heaven 
G                C 
Some are born in irvine 
        F                           C 
And the door is as far as they will go 

 
D           Bm        G     A 
With an old hand on a young brow 
   D            Bm 
He said 'I must go' 
      G              A     D 
And I asked 'show me how' 
                    Bm              G 
Put one foot on the gravy train and 
            A 
You'll gets there 
      D          Bm           G    A       D 
But I never left home- I just staaayed downstairs

     D                   A 
They told me something I already knew 
     G                   C 
They covered my frame in black and blue 
     D                       A 
They wrote underneath the conclusion they drew 
G               C                        D 
Useless is just something beginning with you 
A               G        C               D 
Useless is just something beginning with you 
                                            (slow tempo) 
A               G        C               D    G    D    G 
Useless is just something beginning with you 
               D    G    D    G 
Beginning with you
