D Bm A Bm
They called here to tell me that you're finally dying,
D Bm A G
Through a veil of childish cries.
D Bm A Bm
Southern Manitoba prairie's pulling at the,
D Bm A
Pant leg of your bad disguise.
[Chorus]
G D A G
So why were you so anchorless?
D A G
A boat abandoned in some backyard.
D A G
Anchorless,
D A G
In the small town that you lived and died in.
[Verse 2]
D A Bm A
I've got an armchair from your family home,
D A Bm A G
Got your P.G. Wodehouse novels and your telephone.
D A Bm A
I've got your plates and stainless steel,
D A Bm A G
Got that way of never saying what you really feel.
[Chorus]
D A G
So anchorless?
D A G
A boat abandoned in some backyard.
D A G
Anchorless,
D A G
In the small town that you lived and died in.
[Bridge]
D A Bm A G (x2)
D A Bm A G
I don't want to live and die here.
D A Bm A G
I don't want to live and die here.
[Chorus]
A D A G
Where we're anchorless,
D A G
A boat abandoned in some backyard.
D A G
Anchorless,
D A G D
In the small town that you lived and died in.
