Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

| | x4

 I got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket

won't get to space 'cos I haven't got a rocket

But i've air in my lungs, eyes in my sockets

 and a heart that beats like a tap that leaks

 in the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it

jack in a box without a key to lock it

 well this boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it

 'cos the sea doesn't know ma name

 yeah the boat may sink but I'm not gonna rock it

 'cos the sea doesn't know ma name

Chorus

 Well if you can't get what you love,

 you learn to love the things you've got.

 If you can't be what you want,

 you learn to be the things you’re not.

 If you can't get what you need,

 you learn to need the things that stop you

 dreaming.

 All the things that stop you dreaming.

Verse

Well I've got no ones word and nobody's promice

not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets

and my liver maybe fucked but my heart is honest

and my word is true like the sky is blue.

In the summer time when everybody get's on it

warm skins and get sunburnt from it

and our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets

that shoot like silver trains.

Yeah eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets

that shoot like silver trains.

Chorus

Well if you can't get what you love,

you learn to love the things you've got.

If you can't be what you want,

you learn to be the things you’re not.

If you can't get what you need,

you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.

Oh ohoh

All the things that stop you dreaming.

Ohh oh oh ohho no

And ohh oh oh ohho no

Ohh oh oh ohho no

 Ohouhoh oh no

Chorus

Well if you can't get what you love,

you learn to love the things you've got.

If you can't be what you want,

you learn to be the things you're not.

If you can't get what you need,

you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.

Ohouoh

All the things that stop you dreaming.
