The Jam – Town Called Malice
Verse 1
Better stop [F#m]dreaming of a quiet life,
´Cause it´s the one we´ll[Em] never know
And quit[F#m] running for that runaway bus
`Cause those rosy days [Em]are few
And stop [G]apologizing,
For the [F#m]things you´vre never done
´CausetTime is [A]short and life is cruel
But it´s up to us to change
This town called Malice[D]
Verse 2
[F#m]Rows and rows of disused milk
Floats stand dying in [Em]the dairy yard
And a hundred[F#m] lonely house wifes
Clutch empty milk [Em]bottles to their hearts
[G]Hanging out their old love letters
[F#m]On the lines to dry
It´s enough[A] to make you stop believing
When tears come fast and furious
In this town called Malice[D]
[F#m] [Em]
Instrumental

Chorus
[G]Struggle after struggle
[F#m]Year after year
Bridge
The [A]atmosphere´s a fine blend of ice
I´m almost stone cold dead
In this town called Malice[D]
A [Db]whole street´s belief
in [Bm]Sunday´s roast beef
Gets [Dbm]dashed against the Co-Op[Bm]
Chorus
To either cut [A]down on beer
Or the kid´s new gear
It´s a big descicion in this town called Malice[D]
Oh, yeah
[F#m]The ghost of a steam train
[Em]Echoes down my track
[F#m]It´s at the moment bound for nowhere
[Em]Just going round and round
[G]Playground kids and creaking swings
[F#m]Lost laughter in the breeze
I could go [A]on for hours and I propably will
But I´d sooner put some joy back in
Outro
This town called Malice[D]
This town called Malice
This town called Mailce
