C        Am             Em 
  on the outskirts of a town 
                  G 
  that’s lost all meaning  
  D        C       D    Bm 
  comes an old familiar feeling 
                Em 
  for what it’s worth 
     Am       Em   D          G 
  it knows my name stalls all shame 

Em 
  passed on 
G 
  from day to day 
Em 
  but harmless 
G 
  for now anyway 

C                   D 
  earthly, earthly, pastime 
Em 
  heavenly truce 
C                     D 
  don’t care what the leaders say about 
Em 
  the state of the nation 
C    D         Em 
  or who they accuse 
C                    D               G 
  they can’t break into this frame 

|C      |Am     |Em     |G      | 

C        Am 
  a sore fact but none the less 
         Em                       G 
  all of us must choose the right moment 
  D       C         D       Bm 
  for the backstabs and revelations 
                Em 
  we wanna introduce 
      Am      Em                D     G 
  but nothing adds more than it takes away 

Em 
  today’s still harmless 
G 
  like a piece of paper 
Em 
  but appearing mightier 
G 
  with your address on it 

C               D 
  heavenly, heavenly truce 
Em 
  earthly, pastime 
C                      D 
  don’t care what they say about 
Em 
  the origin of low sin 
C     D      Em 
  you did me wrong 
C             D             G 
  I intend to put it right
