Bm G Bm
Rob lived in a box by the rails

Leave my body, leave my bones

Bm G Bm
He ate from the bins in the park
G Bm
Stayed out with the rats after dark
G A
Never left a trail, never made his mark
D
When he ate with the rats after dark
Chorus
Bm G Bm
Calling all his friends, never made him sad
G Bm
With all the things he never had
G A
It only made them feel so bad
D
For having the things he never had
Chorus
Bm G Bm
If you stay in that box overnight
G Bm
Don't get out 'till it gets light
G A
There's not much lost of the secret life
Bm
It's never gone wrong and it's never gone right
G Bm
Now some more flowers grow
G Bm
And the palm gets eaten by a few more throws
G A
An old man's box is full of bones
G D
See his footprints in the snow
