I met him outside a hostel door
Am7
G4
F7M
G4
He said I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours
Am7
G4
F7M
G4
I know you think it's shifty for a man in his fifties to be
Am7
G4
F7M
sleeping in a hostel dorm
Am7
G4
F7M
G4
But I used to be a welder by trade
Am7
G4
F7M
G4
Used to work by the water where the ships get made
Am7
G4
But no shipyard will take me now
F7M
G4
My hands are too shaky now
Am7
G4
F7M
I've spend all my money before I get paid
G4
C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
F7M
While you were in your dark room
C
How the world went and changed
G4
Am7
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
F7M
G4
Am7
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
Am7

F7M

Am7
G4
F7M
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Am7
G4
F7M
He leans his head against the hostel wall
G4
Am7
G4
Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me
F7M
G4
And a kid that doesn't call
Am7
G4
And every month I'm caught short
F7M
G4
With my fucking child support
Am7
G4
F7M
And the court says that I'm reckless and irresponsible
Am7
G4
'Cause it was never part of the plan
F7M
To be a middle aged man
G4
Am7
G4
F7M
G4
To be sat outside a hostel, shaking strangers' hands
Am7
G4
But I've drunk away my wealth
F7M
G4
And I'm a picture of bad health
Am7
G4
F7M
And I'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self
G4
C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
F7M
For years you were walking
C
And how the world went and changed
G4
Am7
I hear it in your voice, I think you know
F7M
G4
Am7
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
Am7
G4
F7M
G4
Am7
G4
F7M
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
G4
C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
F7M
While you were sleeping
C
How the world went and changed
G4
Am7
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
F7M
G4
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
