F#m
Better stop dreaming of a quiet life,
                         Em
´Cause it´s the one we´ll never know
        F#m
And quit running for that runaway bus
                       Em
`Cause those rosy days are few
         G
And stop apologizing,
             F#m
For the things you´vre never done
                A
´CausetTime is short and life is cruel

But it´s up to us to change
                              D
This town called Malice


[Verse 2]

F#m
Rows and rows of disused milk
                      Em
Floats stand dying in the dairy yard
             F#m
And a hundred lonely house wifes

                      Em
Clutch empty milk bottles to their hearts
    G
Hanging out their old love letters
F#m
On the lines to dry
           A
It´s enough to make you stop believing
When tears come fast and furious
                                 D
In this town called Malice
F#m  Em


[Instrumental]

F#m  Em


[Chorus]

G
Struggle after struggle
F#m
Year after year


[Bridge]

              A
The atmosphere´s a fine blend of ice

I´m almost stone cold dead
                                 D
In this town called Malice
     Db
A whole street´s belief
       Bm
in Sunday´s roast beef
          Dbm                         Bm
Gets dashed against the Co-Op


[Chorus]

                A
To either cut down on beer

Or the kid´s new gear
                                                                D
It´s a big descicion in this town called Malice

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
            A
I could go on for hours and I propably will

But I´d sooner put some joy back in


[Outro]

                              D
This town called Malice
