[Intro]
A F#m E D
[Verse 1]
ARoad like the surface of the moon
F#mA Detroit neighbourhood left to ruin
EGil at the wheel showing me the sight
DOf this crumbling empire
AFollowing suit in the Atlantic mirror
F#mUnder the Byker bridge, they shiver
EIt's one for me, and one for the dead, and one
DFor my crumbling empire
[Chorus]
AI'm not preaching, I'm just talking
F#mI don't wear the shoes I used to walk in
EBut I can't help thinking where they'd take me
DIn this crumbling empire
[Verse 2]
AMy old man worked on the rail yard
F#mBetting his trade on the electrical bars
EIt got privatised, the work degraded
DIn this crumbling empire
AMy mother delivered most the kids in this town
F#mMy step-dad drove in a tank for the crown
EIt left them homeless, down and out
DIn their crumbling empire
[Chorus]
AI'm not preaching, I'm just talking
F#mI don't wear the shoes I used to walk in
EBut I can't help thinking where I'd be
DIn this crumbling empire
[Post-Chorus]
AIn this crumbling empire
F#mIn this crumbling empire
EIn this crumbling
DIn this crumbling empire
[Verse 3]
AI was a kid when they threw him out
F#mLivin' of the streets down Camden town
EUnder the arches, strung wide out
DIn our crumbling empire
ATwenty-five years on crack and dope
F#mBagging the painful synthetic hope
EJust another kid failed by these blokes
DIn their crumbling empire
[Chorus]
AI'm not preaching, I'm just talking
F#mI don't wear the shoes I used to walk in
EBut I can't help thinking where I'd be
DIn this crumbling empire
[Post-Chorus]
AIn this crumbling empire
F#mIn this crumbling empire
EIn this crumbling empire
DIn our crumbling empire
AIn our crumbling empire
F#mIn our crumbling empire
E DIn our crumbling empire
[Outro]
A F#m E D(Repeat to end)
