Shoreline

Em               G        D 
ever since I was eight or nine 
C                         G    D 
I've been standing on the shoreline 
    Em                    G  D 
for all my life I've been waiting 
C             G  D 
for something lasting 
    Em                         G          D 
you loose your hunger and you loose your way  
    C                          G     D 
you get confused and then you fade away 

C  G    D 
oh this town 
G         D            Em 
kills you when you are young 
C  G    D 
oh this town 
G         D            Em        
kills you when you are young

I'm not the boy that I used to be 
C                     G        D 
this town has got the youth of me 
Em                G   D 
all the eyes turn hollow 
C                G   D 
from the work of sorrow

G        Em 
 you die young

you die when you're young

 we are shadows 
         D 
oh we're shadows 
                     Am 
we're shadows in the alley

you're standing on the paving 
C             G    D 
by the office building 
Em                  G  D 
they've got so much to do 
C              G D 
never time for you

just shadows in the alley

G            Em 
 I've got nothing 
           D 
nothing to wait for 
           Am 
nothing to wait for

        D 
in this town

where is life in this town
