Difference ‘tween every day,
C 
Bb 
I 
 
can’t

words 
 
to

I’ve finished with clubs where the  
G7 
music’s 
 
loud,
 
Cos I see your face in  
G7 
every 
 
crowd,
 
But it’s  
E 
not really you.
 
It’s like having a cold on a  
G7 
summer’s 
 
day,
 
Something ain’t right and I  
G7 
want you to stay,
 
And you  
E 
must know that.

Worlds apart,

When Youre Young

Chords and lyrics for When Youre Young by Jam

D 
 
G 
 
E 
 
A 
 
A 
Life is timeless, days are long when you’re young
A 
You used to fall in love with everyone
A 
Any guitar and any bass drum
D 
Life is a drink and  
G 
you get drunk when  
E 
you’re 
 
young
 
A 
Life is new and there’s things to be done
A 
You can’t wait to be grown up
A 
Acceptance into the capital world
D 
You pull on some weed and
G 
you pull on someone  
E 
when you’re young
 
A 
But you find out life isn’t  
E 
like 
 
that
A 
It’s so hard to  
E 
comprehend
A 
Why you set up your dreams to ha
E 
ve them smashed in the end
 
D 
But you don’t mind you
C#m 
‘ve got time on your side
Bm 
And they’re never gonna make you
F#m 
stand in line
D 
you’re just waiting for the r
E 
ight 
 
time
 
A 
You’re fearless and brave – you can’t be stopped when you’re young
A 
You swear you’re never ever gonna work for someone
A 
No corporations for the new age sons
D 
Tears of rage r
G 
un down your face
E 
But still you say “it’s fun”
 
A 
And you find out life isn’t  
E 
like 
 
that
A 
It’s so hard to  
E 
understand
A 
Why the world is your oyster  
E 
but your future’s a clam
 
D 
It’s got you in its grip  
C#m 
before you’re born
Bm 
It’s done with the use of
F# 
a dice and a board
D 
hey let you think you’re king but
E 
you’re really a pawn
 
A 
You’re fearless and brave – you can’t be stopped when you’re young

Town Called Malice

Chords and lyrics for Town Called Malice by Jam

F#m 
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life -
F#m 
And quit running for that runaway bus -
 
And –  
G 
stop apologising  
F#m 
for the things youve never done,
A 
Cos time is short and life is cruel -
A 
But its up to us to change
A 
This town called malice.
 
F#m 
Rows and rows of disused milk floats
F#m 
And a hundred lonely housewives clutch empty milk
G 
Hanging out their old love letters  
F#m 
on the line to dry
A 
Its enough to make you stop believing
A 
When tears come fast and furious
A 
In a town called malice.
 
G 
Struggle after struggle –  
F#m 
year after year
A 
The atmospheres a fine blend of ice -
A 
Im almost stone cold dead
A 
In a town called malice.
 
C#m 
A whole streets belie
Bm 
f in sundays roast beef
C#m 
Gets dashed agains
Bm 
t the co-op
A 
To either cut down on beer or the kids new gear
A 
Its a big decision in a town called malice.
 
F#m 
The ghost of a steam train – echoes down my track
F#m 
Its at the moment bound for nowhere -
G 
Playground kids and creaking swings -
F#m 
Lost laughter in the breeze
A 
I could go on for hours and I probably will -
A 
But Id sooner put some joy back
A 
In this town called malice.

Chords and lyrics for Thick As Thieves by Jam

D6 
But not as tough as they are now.
D5 
And nothing came between
F#m 
us,
 
No  
G# 
personal 
 
sit
E 
uations
 
D6 
We’ll stick together for all time,
A 
And we meant it,
D5 
But it turned out just for a
F#m 
while,
 
The  
G# 
friendship that bound us t
E 
ogether.
 
We stole from the schools and their  
E 
libraries,
 
We stole from the drugs that sent
E 
us to sleep,
 
We stole from the drink that m
E 
ade us sick,
 
We stole anything that  
E 
we couldn’t keep,
 
And it  
F#m 
was 
 
enough,
 
We

ranger,
 
We stole the love from young girls in iv

ory 
 
towers,
 
We stole autumn leaves and  
E 
summer 
 
showers,
 
We stole the sun and the wind that says y
E 
ou are free,
 
We stole eveyrthing that  
E 
we could see,
 
But it  
F#m 
wasn’t 
 
enough,
 
And

now we’ve gone and spoi

You came into m
