F     Dm    Am    Bb (C)

[Verse 1]
F                         Dm
Candy talks to strangers, thinks her life's in danger.
Am                            Bb    (C)
No-one gives a damn about her hair.
     F                                Dm
It's lonely down on Track Street, she used to go by Jackie.
    Am                                                    Bb       (C)
The cops, they'll steal your dreams and they'll kill your prayers.

[Chorus 1]
F                         Dm                Am        Bb    (C)
  Take a number where the blood just barely dried.
F                  Dm               Am                     Bb
Wait for something better, no-one behind you watching your shadows.
     (C)           F    Dm   Am   Bb (C)
This feeling won't go.

[Verse 2]
F                             Dm          
Crooked wheels keep turning - children, are you learning?
 Am                               Bb    (C)
Aclimatise but don't you lose the plot.
  F                         Dm
A history of blisters, your brothers and your sisters.
Am                           Bb   (C)
Somewhere in the pages we forgot.

[Chorus 2]
Bb                               F                 Bb         Gm               C    C
  Take a number Jackie where the blood just barely dried, you know I'm on your side.
F                  Dm               Am                     Bb     
Wait for something better, no-one behind you watching your shadows.
    (C)      F                 Dm                  Am                    Bb
You gotta be stronger than the story, don't let it blind you, rivers are shallow.
     (C)           F
This feeling won't go.

(Middle Eight)
                       Bb     C                           Dm
And the sky is full of dreams,  but you don't know how to fly.
G/B                     Gm     Bb                        C       C
  I don't have a simple answer,  but I know that I could answer. 

[Outro]
          F      Dm     Am     Bb (C)
Something better.
          F      Dm     Am     Bb
     (C)           F     Dm    Am    Bb (C)
This feeling won't go.
         F               Dm            Am            Bb  (C)
Wait for it, wait for it,  wait for it,  wait for it.
F     Dm    Am    Bb (C)
F     Dm    Am    Bb (C)
F
