[Verse 1]
C G D G C G C (x2)
C G D G
Pour the petrol can, around this caravan,
C G C
and watch the flames take all you own.
C G
There’s a girl that understands
D G
like the back of her two hands,
C G C
she’s all you need to know.
[Chorus]
D G C (x3)
D G C
Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find.
D G C
There’s braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind,
D G C
there’s heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind.
[Verse 2]
C G D G C G C x2
C G D G
And you follow the blackbird home, through the early winter snow
C G C
Your footprints track you through the grass
C G
And you ache just to smell her clothes
D G
and her cooking down on the stove
C G C
You see her face in everyone you pass
[Chorus]
D G C (x3)
D G C
Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find.
D G C
There’s braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind,
D G C
there’s heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind.
[Bridge]
D G C
And you walk down to her window
D G C
press your face against the glass
D G C
only to find that she is happy in his arms
[Chorus]
D G C (x3)
D G C
Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find.
D G C
There’s braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind,
D G C
there’s heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind.
