 A                           D             A                E     
 There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
 A                           D             A                E     
 There's a good tradition of love and hate staying by the fireside
 
                 A                 D                   
 And though the rain may fall your father's calling you
 A              E          
 You still feel safe inside
 A                        D                                
 And though your ma's too proud your brother's ignoring you
 A              E          
 You still feel safe inside
 
 D                 
 Oh, was this solo?
 A                  
 Was this yesterday?
 E                 A   
 Was this true for you?
 D                              A         
 'cause while all the rest have taken time
 E                        A  
 This didn't do a lot for you
 
 Instrumental:
 A-D-A-E x 2
 
 A                          D       
 And the corners laced with memories
 A                       E 
 Tell you how it used to be
 A                       D                       A                     E        
 Your mother smiles, the children play, and all the bad things happen miles away
 
 A                         D         
 And strong feelings never bother you
 A                               E                
 You hold your head up while the rest of us try to
 
 D                    
 Oh, call the stations
 A              
 Call the people
 E              A   
 We all want to know
 D                               A        
 'cause while all the rest have taken time
 E                 A   
 You don't want to know

 A                           D             A                E
