Empty out your p[G]ockets
[C]The papers and the [G]money
Names and faces, [Em]other worlds
[C]Where days are bright and [G]sunny
[G]There's someone here you may have met
[C]Or maybe just forg[G]otten
In the half-light, [Em]clothes all wet
[C]I wonder how this [G]happened
[G]Take the best and dump the rest
[C]Whisper your inten[G]tions
Strange birds sing of [Em]frightening things
[C]Too obvious to [G]mention
[G]The patterns in the fabric fade
[C]The loose threads are un[G]furling
A red river flows [Em]out the door
[C]And a city pub shuts [G]early
[G]I'll put on an iron shirt
[C]And walk out of the [G]city
Back to see the [Em]ones I love
[C]The ones who won't [G]desert me
[G]If I had bounty on my head
[C]They'd never raise the [G]money
I'd wake up laughing [Em]in the night
[C]And wonder what's so [G]funny
[G]Take the best and dump the rest
