Toerag Chords

(ver. 2)
The Rifles
This is my first attempt but let me know what you think.  I have taken this from a 
recent acoustic gig I saw with just Joel and Luke.

Capo 5th Fret

V1
G                  
Walk out of the door and make my way up the street
G
Cold wind in my eyes runs a tear down my cheek
Em
Not a soul to be heard so no point to complain
Em
At least the sound of the birds compensates for the rain
G
Hit the queue for the bus and then join the line
G
Same faces for the last ten years of my life
Em
See I'm bored of my friends I couldn't tell you their names
Em                                                       G
Shattered glass on the floor the kids have run out of games    


G                                    Em
And I don't see that's ever gonna change

V2
G
One hour passes till I'm back on my feet
G
A stone's throw I will be walking till I'm off the street
Em
Hang my coat to dry, settle down with the herd
Em
Some I really don't mind, some just get on my nerves
G
Turn my back to the clock cause it slows the time
G
Take out a cigarette and hear the match strike
Em
Turn the radio on to drown the sound of the rain
Em
Same bands same songs play again and again


G                                    Em
And I don't see that's ever gonna change


C       D        Em                 C    D          Em  
Tell me I'm not right say what you like I'm miles away
C                            D                          G
And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day.

V3
G
G
Time there moves slow but rushes when I'm away
Em
Pass a girl from my school the conversation's brief
Em
Gotta catch that train, get myself some relief
G
I meet up with friends and they knock off at six
G
I get in at five and walk about for a bit
Em
Watch the world go by through an empty glass
Em
And I know that won't be the last 'so'

C       D        Em                 C    D          Em  
Tell me I'm not right say what you like I'm miles away
C                            D                          G
And expect nothing changing except for the name of the day.

V4

G
Creep back into bed and I pull up the sheet
G
High over my head and undercover my feet
Em
Till the room goes dark and i'm miles away
Em
Jump to the alarm and start another day!
