7th Avenue Static chords

[INTRO]
[D]

[VERSE 1]
[D]Wear the crown made of thorns on the [C]day I was born
By the [G]light of a cold tele[D]vision
[D]And I remember the boss in his [C]uniform
As he [G]marched from the field of [D]vision

[D] [C] [G] [D]

[VERSE 2]
[D]Well he didn't come home and it was [C]just us alone
The [G]brat and the widowed ci[D]vilian
[D]Then one April night after [C]Ma took her life
I [G]fell down the street to o[D]blivion

[CHORUS 1]
And I [C]took what the [G]dumpsters were [D]giving
And [C]I did my [G]best to sur[D]vive
'Cause I f[C]igured that l[G]ife's for the [D]living
While you're al[A]ive
While you're al[D]ive

[VERSE 3]
[D]Bring out the gin and the [C]small violins
I'm a [G]raging success as a [D]failure
[D]And it's colder than hell in this [C]cardboard hotel
Which I [G]share with a chronic em[D]bezzler

[VERSE 4]
[D]So I beat my retreat down [C]Collister Street
To [G]one of my holy [D]places
[D]And they tangled my wings with [C]wire and string
But I'm [G]spinning in a whirlpool of [D]faces

[CHORUS 2]
And I'll [C]take what the [G]dumpsters are g[D]iving
And [C]I'll do my [G]best to [D]survive
'Cause I [C]still think that [G]life's for the [D]living
Yes I [C]still think that [G]life's for the [Bb]li---[G]ving

[Instrumental Build]
[Bb] [C] [D]

[Singing comes back in]
[D] [C] [G] [D] [x4]

[CHORUS 3]
And I'll [C]take what the [G]dumpsters are [D]giving
And I'll [C]pray every [G]night to St. [D]Giles
But I [C]still think that [G]life's for the [D]living
At least for a [A]while
At least for a [D]while

[OUTRO]
[D] [C] [G]

End on D
