[Verse]
       C                                                   G
Every day it's the same when they say that it might be the end
                                        Am
In the end when it ends I don't listen to them
                                            F
You wake up go to work go to sleep then you do it, you do it
If you're lucky then you do it again
   C                                            G
Yeah we walk through a world that we don't understand
                                        Am
When I look in your eyes I'm just happy I can
                                                     F
Yeah will laugh and will cry and will lose and will win
Will get through it and to prove it, yeah will do it again.
A
There's glory in my saddest story..
 
[Chorus]
E                     A
Look at it, just sticks and bricks
           D               A
Makes you want my howl of pieces thick
E                         A
Where we go and where we've been
             D                A
This ain't paradise we're living in
      Fm                                E
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl
A        D     A   D    A       E
Uh, but ain't it a beautiful world.
 
  C                                                   G
It's a shame when they say that's it's binned on the sin
                                       Am
they can dig in that grave up and ..aheads
                                                 F
there's a kid with a dream in the sky for his stars
there's another first kiss, in them back of some car.
A
Turn our page and write the story..
 
[Chorus]
E                  A
Look at it, just sticks and bricks
           D                 A
Makes you want my howl of pieces thick
E                       A
Where we go and where we've been
              D             A
This ain't paradise we're living in
         Fm                            E
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl

They're running numbers out of the Spanish coast
       Fm                   G
Where merry Mary sends her rose
           A               D            Fm
We get a ladder, there's a cat up in a tree
 
      A                     G
The Pretzel man's wearing Gucci glasses
     Fm                 G

D             E                        A                       Fm
We'll do it, we'll do it, yeah, we're lucky then we'll do it again
 
[Chorus]
E                  A
Look at it, just sticks and bricks
          D                    A
Makes you want my howl of pieces thick
E                 A
Where we go and where we've been
              D                 A
This ain't paradise we're living in
      Fm                                E
It's a diamond, it's a dirty plastic pearl
