Verse: 
 
  Am7               Gsus4     Fmaj7   Gsus4 
I met him outside a hostel door 
        Am7           Gsus4      Fmaj7          Gsus4 
He said I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours 
  Am7                  Gsus4      Fmaj7       Gsus4 
I know you think it's shifty for a man in his fifties to be  
 Am7          Gsus4    Fmaj7 
sleeping in a hostel dorm 
      Am7          Gsus4       Fmaj7   Gsus4 
But I used to be a welder by trade 
        Am7         Gsus4           Fmaj7      Gsus4 
Used to work by the water where the ships get made 
       Am7           Gsus4 
But no shipyard will take me now 
   Fmaj7         Gsus4 
My hands are too shaky now 
      Am7         Gsus4             Fmaj7 
I've spend all my money before I get paid 
  
 
 
           Gsus4                         C 
And I said David, don't you think it's strange 
Fmaj7      
While you were in your dark room 
         C 
How the world went and changed 
 Gsus4                             Am7 
Looking in your eyes, I think you know 
      Fmaj7             Gsus4                 Am7 
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago 
  

Interlude:  Am7   Gsus4   Fmaj7   Gsus4   x3 
            Am7   Gsus4   Fmaj7 
            Ooh, ooh, oh, oh 

Verse: 
 
              Am7             Gsus4  Fmaj7 
He leans his head against the hostel wall 
Gsus4          Am7                 Gsus4 
Said I have an ex-wife that doesn't hear me 
     Fmaj7            Gsus4 
And a kid that doesn't call 
          Am7              Gsus4 
And every month I'm caught short 
         Fmaj7         Gsus4 
With my fucking child support  
         Am7                 Gsus4           Fmaj7 
And the court says that I'm reckless and irresponsible 
               Am7             Gsus4 
'Cause it was never part of the plan 
        Fmaj7 
To be a middle aged man  
Gsus4 Am7           Gsus4             Fmaj7    Gsus4 
To be sat outside a hostel, shaking strangers' hands 
          Am7           Gsus4 
But I've drunk away my wealth 
           Fmaj7         Gsus4 
And I'm a picture of bad health 
           Am7         Gsus4       Fmaj7 
And I'm a shadow of a shadow of a former self 


  
           Gsus4                         C 
And I said David, don't you think it's strange 
    Fmaj7      
For years you were walking 
         C 
And how the world went and changed 
 Gsus4                                Am7 
I hear it in your voice, I think you know 
      Fmaj7             Gsus4                 Am7 
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago 


Interlude:  Am7   Gsus4   Fmaj7   Gsus4   x7 
            Am7   Gsus4   Fmaj7 
            Ooh, ooh, oh, oh 
 
 
           Gsus4                         C 
And I said David, don't you think it's strange 
Fmaj7      
While you were sleeping 
         C 
How the world went and changed 
 Gsus4                             Am7 
Looking in your eyes, I think you know 
      Fmaj7             Gsus4 
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
