Intro
D# A# Fm G#sus2/C
[Verse 1]
D# A#
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Fm G#sus2/C
Ay a man who got even with God
D# A#
Sat in hyperactive London, School Central Station
Fm G#sus2/C
The city began sleeping like a dog
D# A#
Then a tramp with one-eye placed his hand on my thigh
Fm G#sus2/C
I said "Hold it, pick a window, you're leavin'.
D# A#
"Oh, but forgive me," he said, "I was a-found in my pride."
Fm G#sus2/C
He must have thought I was somebody else
[Chorus 1]
D# A# Fm G#sus2/C
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
D# A# Fm G#sus2/C
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
D#
I am the prodigal son
A# Fm G#sus2/C
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
D#
And I give all I have
A#
I will give all I have
Fm G#sus2/C
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rains
[Verse 2]
D# A#
On a street you've never heard of, there's a wooden piano
Fm G#sus2/C
On its last legs in a last chance saloon
D# A#
It is manned by a drunkard, who is dripping with poetry
Fm G#sus2/C
Sitting stupefied, nailed to the stool
D# A#
The man catches my gaze and produces this page
Fm G#sus2/C
From his waistcoat with a slipped disk smile
D# A#
"Look boy, here is my last known correspondence with Christ.
Fm G#sus2/C
I tried to read it, but my glasses were filthy."
[Chorus 2]
D# A# Fm G#sus2/C
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
D# A# Fm G#sus2/C
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
D#
I am the prodigal son
A# Fm G#sus2/C
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
D#
And I give all I have
A#
I will give all I have
Fm G#sus2/C
Strip me bare, have me washed in the rain
G#sus2/C
Oh, aye
[Verse 3]
D#
Past the government housing
A#
Right off Donallson Road
Fm G#sus2/C
Open collars, open house
D# A#
They swap anorexic lyrics for pyrotechnic rhymes
Fm G#sus2/C
As car lights knife their way through the dark
D#
And this feeling persists
A# Fm G#sus2/C
We as people exist in a state of anticipation
D#
You know it comes at a cost
A#
Or so the great unwashed have informed me
Fm G#sus2/C
And I tend to believe them these days
[Chorus 3]
D# A# Fm G#sus2/C
Here's to the fathers and the lost sons and the unholy ghosts
D# A# Fm G#sus2/C
It's the ones that seem destined to get left behind that trust me the most
D#
I am the prodigal son
A# Fm G#sus2/C
Resting his head on the drum that was carried through the welcoming parade
D#
And I give all I have
A#
I will give all I have
Fm
I will give all I have
G#sus2/C
I will give all I have
D#
Yeah, I wanna give all I have
A#
I will give all I have
Fm
I will give all I have
G#sus2/C
I will give all I have
D#
I will give all I have
A#
I will give all I have
Fm G#sus2/C
Strip me bare, have me washed by the rains
G#sus2/C
There's something freeing about it anyway
[Outro]
D# A# Fm G#sus2/C
D# A#
I was gifted a book by somebody who loved me
Fm
Ay a man who got even with God
