Community Centre

C Well the sky’s turning purple Above the community centre And I’m sitting in a circle, Telling my secrets to strangers And they say I’ve got a problem But I don’t know that I’ve got one ‘Cause you never know that you’ve got one ‘Til someone comes along and spots one F They say it’s the hardest step But it’s the first one of many And my feet are stuck to the ground And I can’t seem to take any C I could tell them I just came For the free cup of tea and the biscuit And make my way towards the door But I don’t think I can risk it Am F ‘Cause I never wanted to stay, C But the morning came so soon F C G C Am F And we all know the words, C But we just sing them out of tune G C C ‘Cause I had my first drink when I was fourteen, And I knew that I was in trouble ‘Cause I woke up the next morning With my face down in the rubble And everyone was drinking singles I pour myself a double, I just needed a little bit more F And now I’m sitting here with my name badge And I’m listening to the same sad stories About their old dads, Who’re making all the same C Bad turning’s at their crossroads And drowning all their sorrows, Without any lifeguard around Am F Oh no, I never wanted to stay, C But the morning came so soon F C G C Am F And oh, and we all know the words, C But we just sing them out of tune And oh, oh no Am - F - C - C x 2 C And the sky’s turning dark So we step out into the car-park And I see you all same time, same place next week But before we go our separate ways Theres just one thing I’d like to say is, *mute* Anybody up for a drink
