D         A
I wish I had a penny
D          G      A          D
For every time I told her I loved her
      G     A    D               G
But that sincerity I know won't raise the fare
D         B  A          D
She was born with a wanderlust
      G         A         D
And against the odds she made the grade
A                    F#     G       Bm   A
Now out of sight is out of mind to her
 D            Bm A  
I'm scared...
        D               Bm       A
It's a big bad big bad dead end world

   G         A

If I close my eyes I can't forget you, stranger
In my sleep I see you dancing into danger

D       A               D
Mister don't shoot her
                         A                   D
You can't see the whites for the reds of her eyes
                    G   A    D
Maybe she's been crying over me
                   G     A
While you're lying over her

Talk of us is words in perfect tenses
It seems that action men have broke down your defences

 a tough bit to tab, believe it or not
D      A        C/G G
We're passing strangers
D         G               Bm         A
But your leaving left me wondering why
D      A           C/G   G
These times have changed us
D              F#m         G       A        D      F#m G   A
Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world
F#m            G           Bm      A        D      F#m G   A
Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world

Friends rally round but it's not just a question of sympathy
Others come and go why won't you come and go with me?

D      A        C/G G
We're passing strangers

D              F#m         G       A        D      F#m G   A

F#m            G           Bm      A        
Caught in the middle of a big bad dead end world
