• G

...FROM DESPAIR TO WHERE... by Manic Street Preachers

*from 'Gold Against the Soul' (1993)*


Verse 1:

  G                      Am7                C                 G
I write this alone on my bed; I've poisoned every room in the house.
    G                       Am7
The place is quiet and so a-lone,
                C                       G
Pretend there's something worth waiting for.

G                           Am7             C                   G
 There's nothing nice in my head; the adult world took it all a-way.
  G                            Am7             Bb                   (G)
I wake up with same spit in my mouth; I cannot tell if it's real, or not.

Chorus 1:

G  C          Cm                 G
    I try and walk in a straight line.
G  C       Cm              G
    An imi-tation of digni-ty.
G  C, Cm               G
       From despair to where?
G  C, Cm              (G)
       From despair to where?

G  Am7, C  G (x2)

Verse 2:

    G                 Am7               C                    G
Out-side open mouthed crowds, pass each other, as if they're drugged.
     G                     Am7         C              G
Down pale corridors of rou-tine, where life falls una-toned.

G                   Am7              C                    G
 The weak kick like straw, 'till the world means less and less.
G                  Am7         Bb                  (G)
 Words are never e-nough; just cheap tarnished glit-ter.

Chorus 2:

G  C          Cm                 G
    I try and walk in a straight line.
G  C       Cm              G
    An imi-tation of digni-ty.
G  C, Cm               G
       From despair to where?
G  C, Cm
       From despair to...

Chorus 3:

G  C          Cm                  G
    A cripple walks in a straight line.
G  C       Cm              G
    An imi-tation of digni-ty.
G  C, Cm               G
       From despair to where?
G  C, Cm               G
       From despair to where?
