I met him outside a hostel door
Am

F

He said I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours
Am

F
G4
I know you think it's shifty for a man in his fifties to be
Am

sleeping in a hostel dorm
Am

F
G4
But I used to be a welder by trade
Am
G4
F
G4
Used to work by the water where the ships get made
Am
G4
But no shipyard will take me now
F
G4
My hands are too shaky now
Am
G4
F
I've spend all my money before I get paid
G4
C
And I said David, don't you think it's strange
F
While you were in your dark room
C
How the world went and changed
G4
Am
Looking in your eyes, I think you know
F
G4
Am
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago

Am
G4
Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me
F
G4
And a kid that doesn't call
Am
G4
And every month I'm caught short
F
G4
With my fucking child support
Am
G4
F
And the court says that I'm reckless and irresponsible
Am
G4
'Cause it was never part of the plan
F
To be a middle aged man
G4
Am
G4
F
G4
To be sat outside a hostel, shaking strangers' hands
Am
G4
But I've drunk away my wealth
F
G4
And I'm a picture of bad health
Am
G4
F
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
F
For years you were walking
C
And how the world went and changed
G4
Am
I hear it in your voice, I think you know
F
G4
Am
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago

Ooh, ooh, oh, oh

And I said David, don't you think it's strange
F
While you were sleeping

How the world went and changed
G4

Looking in your eyes, I think you know
F

That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
