Verse 1
  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
 
Chorus 1
           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 2
              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
Chorus 2
           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,…
Chorus 3 
(play every chord only once)
           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                       Am7
That David, we lost you, lost you a long time ago
