The Strays

E
Hubcaps & ashtrays 
B        A9
I was born
B                A9
But wasn't raised 
E
The big wheel 
The black space 
B               A9
Tried my best 
 B                E
But wasn't praised

A9
Hell is so close to heaven 
Hell is so close to heaven 

E             B                     C#m
Hold on don't look back     
                   A9
You know we're better, we're better than that
E               B                C#m
  Lost and thrown away 
                  A9
You know we're better, we're better than that 

C#m       B          A9
   We are   the strays 
C#m       B          A9
   We are  the strays 

E
The train tracks 
To the stage 
B                  A9
Played that role 
B                    A9
The one you made 
E
The long nights 
To the worst days 
B            A9
Lived it all 
B                  E
But I didn't break 

A9
Hell is so close to heaven 
Hell is so close to heaven 

E             B                     C#m
Hold on don't look back 
                  A9
You know we're better, we're better than that
E              B                C#m
Lost and  thrown away
                  A9
 You know we're better, we're better than that 

C#m      B         A9
   We are the strays 
C#m      B         A9
   We are the strays 

E
  My whole life they said I'd be nothing
But I'm something
I would rather be the stray
                B
Than be nothing to no one at all
