[C] x 2 

Better [Em] stop dreaming of the quiet life 
Cos it's the [Dm] one we'll never know 
And [Em] quit running for that runaway bus 
Cos those [Dm] rosy days are few

And [F] stop apologising 
For [Em] things you've never done 
Cause [G] time is short and life is cruel
But it's up to us to change
This town called [C] malice 

[Em] Rows and rows of disused milk floats 
[Dm] stand dying in the dairy yard 
And a [Em] hundred lonely housewives 
Clutch empty [Dm] milk bottles to their hearts

[F] Hanging out their old love letters 
[Em] on the lines to dry 
It's [G] enough to make you stop believing
When tears come fast and furious
In this town called [C] malice  

[Em] Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [Dm] Ba ba ba ba ba 
[Em] Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba [Dm] Ba ba ba ba ba

[F] Struggle after struggle, year after year 
The [G] atmosphere's a fine blend of ice
I'm almost stone cold dead
In this town called [C] malice 

A [Bm] whole street's belief 
In [Am] Sunday's roast beef 
Gets [Bm] dashed against the [Am] Co-Op 
To either [G] cut down on beer, or the kids new gear 
It's a big decision in a town called malice [C]  - Ooooh yeah!

[Em] The ghost of a steam train 
[Dm] Echoes down my track 
It's at the [Em] moment bound for nowhere 
[Dm] Just going round and round

[F] Playground kids and creaking swings 
Lost [Em] laughter in the breeze 
I could go [G] on for hours and I probably will 
But I'd sooner put some joy back  in this town called [C] malice 
[C] This town called malice   x3  [C]*
